We originally chose the Doggie Castle due to its location near our Cromwell home. We have since realized our choice has been rewarding for other great reasons as well. Rick and Maria at the Doggie Castle provide our 10-month-old yellow lab/golden retriever mix, Lucy, an opportunity for socialization and exercise with other great doggie friends. The Doggie Castle provides us the comfort of knowing our Lucy is well cared for during our long days at work. Rick and Maria provide Lucy with an extra personal touch with items such as personalized food bowls and parking spaces during our attendance to the wonderful nighttime obedience classes offered at the Castle. Lucy is absolutely exhausted after a long day of daycare. We recommend the Doggie Castle to any pet owner that sees the benefits of doggie daycare in a trusted neighborhood facility. We sure do!

I am writing to let you know how happy I am that I found out about The Doggie Castle soon after I got my chow puppy. Since she is a chow, I am trying to make sure she gets as much socialization and introduction to different things, as I can, while she is still a puppy. Chows are great dogs, but without the right training when they are young, they tend to become too territorial and too protective.

Since Dakota started going to The Doggie Castle, she is not only tired at the end of the visit, she has also improved her playing skills. Specifically, we have seen the elimination of her attempts to be the dominant dog. Instead, she regularly plays with dogs in an appropriate manner. This was even noticed by the puppy training instructor at PetSmart after Dakota’s 3^rd or 4^th visit to The Doggie Castle.

 The best compliment I can give regarding your service is that Dakota is excited to get there when we arrive and, although excited to see me when I come to pick her up, she will readily try to go back in, if I give her the chance.

I am also very pleased about your boarding service. My husband and I are taking a cruise over the holidays. We considered and made different arrangements for Dakota, but repeatedly came to the conclusion that she was likely to be traumatized by our departure unless we found the perfect solution. The Doggie Castle was the only answer to our problem. Now I know she will be at a place that she loves, with her friends – both human and canine. In addition, I know that she will play all day and, thus, sleep all night.

 Cordially,

Susan Chetwin
