Paws To Play

This place is amazing. Yes they are serious about the dogs in their care and that is what you want if you love your dog. Al and his staff are always pleasant even when they are busy. They take care of my dog and I don't worry about her at all. I have read these reviews regarding Al and his professionalism and really was put off by them. This man cares about animals and yes he can sometimes seem distracted because he is working with them, BUT he is still professional. I would rather hang with the dogs then some of the people writing these reviews too. I take Zeva there for training and even though she acts the fool sometimes Al stays patient and gives clear direction. I drop her off to play and she comes home happy and exhausted (the way I like her lol). Truly a great place.

Their training program has done wonders for my dog Ripley. They teach concepts in a variety of ways that helps everybody understand, and since the group sizes are kept small, you can easily get one-on-one time. At the end of each session, you're given a summary sheet that recaps the lesson and guides you through home training until the next week. If you ever have side questions or need a little extra help, they're always willing to help and typically have very quick response times through email. Ripley absolutely loves going to class and loses his mind whenever we load up the car. In the past year, Ripley has gone from zero obedience training and being fearful of everything to being an amazing off-leash hiker/adventurer that really only focuses on me. I couldn't have done that without Paws to Play's help!

If you have a small or elderly dog and you don’t work than this place might be good fit for you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t recommend it. The application process is lengthy. We waited 2 months to get our dog in for an evaluation and when we did were told he had too much energy and could only come from 9:30-11:20 for the first 10 times. Which was pointless as we wanted him to get quality play time and give us time to run errands and to get work done. Driving our dog in and picking him up in less then 2 hours ended up being more stress than helpful. Our dog has been going to daycare his whole life and never been an issue. I wish they would have told us from the beginning the daycare catered to smaller and older dogs, so we could have went elsewhere the last two months. I am giving two stars because Dallen did respond quickly when we had questions via email. And it does seem they are trying to create a calm environment for elderly and small dogs.

This is the Only place I leave my pup with ! The staff is so wonderful and treat her so well. It makes it easier when I can't take her with me ☺️

If I could give this place less than 1 star I would. Call this morning that my dog had been attacked during a dog fight and we needed to pick him up. Was told he was a victim. Called our vet and they were already waiting for another dog who had been there that had been attacked.My Golden wouldn't even know how to start a fight. Tried to find out who attacked him. Can't tell you. Who are the owners of the dog that attacked him? Can't tell you. Asked him how many dogs. Can't tell you. What are the plans for the dogs who instigated the fight? Can't tell you, we're sorting it out. Told twice that we signed a waiver. Our dog had to go into surgery for his ear. Lacerations on his neck and chest. Bruises on his shoulders. Over $800.00 bill. It's not the money, it's the idea that they take no responsibility. Found out from the Vet office attached to Paws 4 Play that they also had treated several dogs that day due to the fight. So I ask myself, what the hell went on there and how did this happen?
