Paula's Canine Academy

Horrible! Boarded my puppy for 4 days. Everything seemed fine when we left her. When we got there to pick her up, it was as if she was a different dog. She seemed "off". She slept the entire ride home. She was throwing up and dry heaving every 15 minutes that night and the next day. After which she developed a cough. It was as if she did not sleep and was exposed to bad conditions. It is cheap because they group the dogs together. Not so cheap when your dog has to go to the vet afterward for $325. The vet seemed puzzled when we said that she puts all the dogs food together for them to eat. Not going back. Found another place where she gets her own indoor/outdoor room for not much more. Should have known better, rookie mistake.

My two dogs have been at Paula’s more than they have been home lately. When I tell them we are going to Paula’s they run to the door after putting their heads in their collars. They start getting excited as we near her house. They can’t wait to get out of the car and run to the door. I love to think of them playing and having a good time while I am traveling for days or weeks, in meetings or shopping . We take them anytime we are going to be away for more than 4 hours so that they can play. Paula takes good care of them and sends pictures or posts them on Facebook. They are always happy when I come to pick them up. We are so blessed to have Paula in our lives for the past 7 or 8 years. She has been a friend and a great person who volunteers in the community and loves our babies while in her care. Paula has obedience trained two of our dogs. I love this because she is so good to them while training. My little guy comes, stays, sits, heals… I tell him no bark and he stops. My sister had two out of control Jack Russell Terriers – Paula trained them and they were the best mannered dogs.

If you are looking for a wonderful place in North Texas to board your dog during the day or for overnight stays, consider Paula's Canine Academy, which I believe is THE best dog boarding facility in North Texas. My dogs stay at Paula's on a regular basis and have a ball! I have boarded at many other area facilities, and without a doubt, this one is mine (and their) favorite because they are free to roam with the other dogs all day within the confines of large play areas. The rates are very reasonable, and I can leave my pets there without worry. it's a big dog party all the time! Dogs are Paula's passion, and she is good to her clients. She lives on site and is an experienced dog trainer. Her staff are professional and keep the property spic and span. My dogs come back home happy and pooped from all the exercise they get while they are there. It's great socialization for them and much healthier for them to be in this environment, rather than locked up in a cage or in a dog run. It goes without saying that dogs are required to be up-to-date on shots, including the bordetella vaccination, and must be neutered or spayed. While I have never seen a single flea on any of my pets when I have picked them up, I would highly suggest making sure your dog is given a flea treatment prior to boarding, just to ensure that ALL dogs are safe. Paula's Canine Academy is a remarkable place. I can't recommend highly enough.
