Our experience with Doggy Boom was great at first. Antoinette visited us and met my puppy shortly after we contacted her. She even had one of her employees met my puppy before the first visit. The puppy visits are a standard price. Antoinette greatly helped me by organizing visits after short notice and even took my puppy out for a longer walk when I was sick.
I started to experience concerns after visiting her Doggy Daycare. I noticed that she was caring for about a dozen dogs in a dark and small room that appeared to have no toys. The dogs looked bored. She also has several employees and I did not know who was visiting my puppy the days I was working. I suspect that this was stressful for my puppy because he would have a very difficult time sleeping after having puppy visits with Doggy Boom, which has subsided with the new dog walker. I noticed that our approach with my puppy differed from Antoinette's. She suggested that I put him in a crate for time outs. Which is not broadly accepted as a best practice. After careful consideration, I have found a dog walker that better meets our needs and thank her for keeping my puppy safe during visits.
