Canine Comfort Corner

I have brought my dog Rilee here for boarding on several occasions. I will never bring her anywhere else, as each time has been a great experience. Rilee is a little anti social around other dogs so it’s always tough introducing her to new dogs and the staff here make sure that she can be around others with the same temperament as her. I feel that the staff here knows her well enough by now to really control her environment and make sure she has a happy and safe visit. I was nervous the first couple of times I took her here but now I am able to leave her and not have to worry. Thank you for your great care!

I board my dogs here when I am out of town and are really pleased with the care they get. Janice and her staff genuinely care about the dogs and have a great understanding of canine behavior and temperament to properly match dogs that will enjoy each other’s play style. I have three dogs, one is a social butterfly and will play with anyone, one is laid back and just want to do her own thing and one that is very selective as to who he calls friends and Janice is able to accommodate their individual quirks/​personalities to make sure they are happy and safe.

I did not board my girls here but came to use the agility area. The woman I spoke to on the phone said she had not cleaned the area yet so there may be some extra grass or blackberries but when my husband and I got there we found 5 dead mice and a dead snake that appeared to have died while shedding its skin. We hung out for about 15 minutes and tried to rearrange the items to one side that didn’t have dead rodents but out of concern for our dog’s health we left. This place seems old and gross. When I went inside to pay there were two dogs gated in the tiniest area, I felt sorry for them. I definitely would NOT recommend this place and am shocked that it has 5 stars.

I have a special needs dog. He has both Addison’s Disease and Refractory Epilepsy which means he has seizures about once a month. One of the triggers of his seizures is my travel. When interviewing different boarding facilities, I wanted to be sure the staff knew what to do if my dog had a seizure. The staff at Canine Comfort Corner knew exactly what to do and had a plan of action if he had one. I wanted to make sure my dog felt comfortable there, so I dropped him off 2 times for doggie day care, which he loved. I had a trip to NY last weekend and my dog was scheduled to stay for 5 days. On the first night he had a seizure in his kennel at 11:30 at night. I was so relieved to hear that the staff heard him, gave him the medicine he needed as I had indicated on his information sheet, and took extra measures to make sure he was ok before putting him back to bed. They also called me and reassured me that he was ok. I could not be more grateful to have my dog in their care when I’m 3,000 miles away. I will continue to drop off my dog for day care, because he loves it and we already have another trip scheduled during the new year and I’m sure my dog will be in safe hands while we’re away!

My husband and I don’t have children, so we dote on our dog. He’s an integral part of our family, and we are quite particular about his care. Over the years, We’ve tried several high-​end kennels and doggie day cares. No place compares to Canine Comfort Corner. CCC is a small kennel and it provides the perfect balance of kennel time and play time. The play time is ideal because Janice knows dogs better than just about anyone I’ve met. She has a process for introducing dogs and creating just the right play group. And all play sessions are fully supervised (unlike most places). Janice, the owner, and all her staff are wonderful, passionate about dogs, and extremely knowledgeable. We never worry about our boy when he’s in Janice’s good care. We wouldn’t leave him anyplace else.

I have been taking my beloved dog Reggie there for several years. He is always excited to arrive there, which I take as a very good sign. They love him and treat him well. He always comes home clean and happy… and maybe a little sad. I believe he misses all the activity. I highly recommend CCC. Janice and her staff are wonderful.

I tried to thoughtfully board my 3 year old Sheltie for the 1^st time, I carefully questioned facilitiies about their policies and how the pets spent their time there. Thankfully my trip did not exceed 10 days and I was able to provide jim with the Emergency Vet care required for him to survive. Within the first. 3 days I was contacted to advise me my dog was vomiting, when I inquired about the food he was eating; I was alarmed that conytrary to specifically leaving instructions to not feed him anything but the kibble provided he was eating only canned food. I called there * times to inquire about how he was doing at his «puppy camp». I was assured he was «happy». I picked up a lame dog, that I carriedd to my car, unopened treats I provided and approximately 1 cup of food gone from a new bag of dog food, for the 1en day stay! His feet were bloody from being forced to travel over gravel to the fields and woods. The staff would not provide me with any information regarding food fed to my diog or treats given to him, only a printout with e coli symptoms a
nd a staff member told me other dogs boarded at the same time had problems because there was a recall on dog foods!
One would think. these things would rise to the level of gross
negligence, but 007. Contract. that I voluntarily signed relleases them of all liability, accountability and responsibility. The
y retain the License to Kill and in the event of a credit card dispute have a legal right for compensation for doing it.
I was fortunate, my dog survived, had it been up to my finances alone I would of lost my friend, the $ 2300. It cost with no promise of survival wasnot within my ability to pay.
r. I think more than the sting of paying for this kind of negligence, was the self serving attitude afterward, when they had the abiility to provide useful information that could have eithether made a difference in the life or death of my dog or the amount of time he was on. IVs, having painful tests, and the billing was proceeeding at $ 80. Every 3 hours jiust to be there. Their concern was not with the welfare
of animal that became deadly sick in their care, but protecting their $ 300. 00. Fee

We left our 3−½ month old pup here for two weeks. No, we didn’t want to leave her, but we have had a trip planned for quite awhile. And no, we weren’t planning on rescuing our little dog earlier this summer either, but a dog enters your life when they are supposed to. So, deciding that there was no way to take her with us, we searched around for a place where we felt our pup would be treated well, have other dogs to romp around with, and not backslide on all the training we had been putting into her. We are big believers in positive training methods and she has been going to Ahimsa’s puppy kindergarten (see my review). Ahimsa recommends Canine Comfort Corner, so after some looking around, we decided to go with them.
CCC is set up out of the owner’s, Janice, house. She has 5 super dog friendly acres, including plenty of indoor space for cruddy days. The place is clean, doesn’t smell at all, and the staff seem to truly enjoy their work.
We opted to not just board our dog, but to also pay an extra couple hundred for Janice to do some training. When we went to go pick our dog up, we spent the first hour just sitting with Janice talking us through how the pup did, and some training philosophy and pointers. Then we spent another hour or so with the dog and Janice, with Janice showing us various training items, then watching us with the dog to ensure we were consistent and helping the dog succeed. Pretty cool to get the one on one time with a trainer.
The only reason I didn’t give them 5 stars is because our dog now tends to jump up on people, and she didn’t do that before we left. I think it is because Janice always has treats on her and the dog learned that if she jumped up, Janice would tell her off, then the dog would get treats for jumping down. Not a big deal, because our dog has now quickly learned that instead of treats, she gets our backside if she jumps up.
But, all in all, I am super pleased that we went with Canine Comfort Corner, and definitely recommend them.
