My dog stated coming about a month ago. He was very shy and scared of people and other dogs. His tail was constantly tucked, he shook, and sometimes peed himself. Wouldn't allow himself to drink water, eat, play, or even potty away from me. He very much needed to learn to survive away from me.
My dog has grown up so much in the short time he has been attending. Transformed even. He now walks up to just about every member with his tail wagging so hard, it at times almost looks like he achieves windmill action. He is all smiles, has started kissing the staff, is eating away from me, and displays a more confident demeanor. He is so engaged while there that he sleeps from about the minute he gets home until the next morning. Only nights where he doesn't get up at random through the night. He acts like he is thinking more for himself. They are the only ones beside family that he is so willing and happy with.
Bottom line: Paw Commons and it's entire staff are miraculous. They are patient and loving and above all respect the animal. The animals aren't just herded and watched over. They really get to know and care about our pets.
