Well . My dog actually died days after coming back from here. When we went to get him we noticed he was skinny and that his food bin was completely filled to the top as we left it when dropping him off. He was already separated from the other dogs due to him not being "fixed" , and stayed outside with the other (types) of animals. Back to when we got him after our spring break trip , he lost 13 POUNDS OVER THE COURSE OF 1.5 WEEKS. My poor puppy NEVER turned down food but he denied everything we tried feeding him. When a family member of mine called to ask them how was he acting here at the dog spot, then they proceeded to mention him throwing up instead of telling us while we were on vacation. We took him to the vet after thinking he was going to get better when we noticed he was limping and droopy eyes . We had to turn our dog over to the vet because he was too sick to take home and they called us the next morning after a hard night of our family dealing with our loss practically . She then explained that they did surgery on him to see if they could fix him up before giving him to someone who has the expenses to nurse him back to health . She told us during the surgery , he had lines of plastic in his small and large intestines that potentially cut up his insides and his bowels as well that spilt over into his stomach and it was nothing they could do . so she left my precious baby asleep. we feel as if during his separation time from the other dogs at the dog spot , he was left unattended and unfed so he ate what he could find and they killed him . I always wondered "why do people get so sad when their pet passes away" and God has answered that question for me. Cherish you're pets and don't send them here please

One of my friends recommended The Dogspot to me as I was beside myself, with my new puppy😢 It was either she go here or I was going to have to give her away. She was terrorizing my Yorkies! I called Kim and , she was very nice over the phone and said she could help and would take Jersey a Girl. I did two separate trainings. 6 weeks of ,, “ boot camp”. Her behavior was terrible, chewing , Biting everything and everyone and got aggressive when told No. I wasn’t sure how this was going to go down. I missed her terribly and was worried she would think I left her there. WELL 6 weeks later, I went to pick her up, and I’m telling you, I wanted to know what they did with my dog! She was listening and had the best behavior! They took me in the facility to do the Training with me. I was almost in tears , she was listening to ME! They told me ANYTIME if I needed help to let them know and they would be happy to. I skipped the community training because she was doing so well. Big Mistake. ! You see not only does your dog need to be trained , you do also! Jersey was amazing at home , but I did not know how to handle her out. I called them back a few weeks later and enrolled her in swimming and community class. Yes they use the E collar- at a Very LOW setting, and with all of the training before this place , nothing else worked ,but it has to be used correctly. They don’t go around zapping your dog all day, for heavens sake. It’s there as a reinforcement! . My dog was so afraid of the water also. By the way, they send you photos and videos of your dog being trained. Once you enroll, you are now able to get in on the website to see training, in case you need a refresher. My dog is now my Yorkies buddy , as big as she is. I needed to have a big dog to feel safe, and now I have a well trained one! I would not have my baby right now if not for Kim and her trainers! Kim oversees all the training and her trainers are TOP Notch! I especially Love, Mary. You can call or text her anytime. I love the fact that I tried to sneak up to see Jersey, at about 2 weeks, and Kim said no. I really needed a peek, but it wasn’t good for Jersey to set the training back. She stuck to her guns and I now have a very well trained , lovable Dog! I have ZERO Complaints, and I will not board my dogs anywhere but here. Video cameras everywhere, 24 hours these dogs are watched! Jersey gets out of the car excited to see them when we have to board. I also use the E collar at home, but now it’s off , but she doesn’t know it. I have a totally different dog, who is now a part of our family and so owe it all to The Dogspot! Thank you! I would give more stars if it was possible! Robin Greco

This place just takes your money and doesn't do its job properly! I had my dog ​​there; I needed him for my son with autism.

This place just takes your money and doesn't do its job properly! I had my dog ​​there; I needed him for my son with autism. I paid over $2,000 for a service dog in January, and I just wasted my money! The dog can't be with my son because he jumps and twitches and hurts him. I really threw my money away on this place. I called many times, and they didn't listen. I told them my dog ​​wasn't trained, and they didn't give me any way to verify that my dog ​​was a service dog.
