I have a crazy little 7 month Cattle Dog mix that is still a little ways off from being able to stay home alone during the day. Bark Ave is practically next door to my work, so I thought I'd give them a try.
My dog LOVES it here. She goes nuts in the car every morning when she realizes where we're going, and will trot away with an employee without a second look back at me. It's obvious the employees are kind to her and play with her because she loves them all and will immediately run for pets and kisses when she sees them.
The price is great, and group play gives my energetic girl the exercise she needs during the day. She always comes home happy and tired and ready to do it all again the next day.
We haven't taken part in any extras yet or boarding, but I never see anything but happy pets and owners here. One day my dog won't want to destroy everything she can get her mouth on, but even when we leave her home more we will still bring her to Bark Ace now and then for socializing and play!!
