Doggie Diggs LLC

I started bringing my rescue puppy Ellie here only a few weeks after finding her. She went from a timid fearful puppy to overly friendly and always excited to meet other puppies and people! Candace and staff are so friendly and facilities are clean and provide plenty of options for whatever your puppies want. Ellie always has neurotic excitement attack when we pull in the lot at DD… and mama’s happy to have a well socialized friendly rescue pup! Love doggie diggs!

After reading several positive reviews on Doggie Diggs’ website, I was looking forward to having my dog attend daycare there. I spoke to the owner, Candace, over the phone to arrange my dog’s temperament test prior to potential enrollment. When I arrived, I was greeted by Candace and two very noisy dogs. I expect dogs to bark, they’re dogs after all, but considering these dogs were in «training» I was a little surprised that neither Candace nor the trainer corrected this behavior.
I was hoping to get a tour of the facility, but Candace only let me peer through the window to see the dogs in the indoor space (a concrete floor without any cushions/​pillows that I read about on their website). She seemed guarded and did not volunteer to let me see the outdoor space or boarding facility.
After asking me a series of questions about my dog, it became clear to me that Candace was seemingly looking for ways to tell me my friendly, 17 pound beagle would not meet her criteria. There was an edge about her throughout this process and after my entire 5 minute visit, she told me to leave because «I rubbed her the wrong way», «was coming at her», and «telling her how to do her job» among other things like dropping a line about «doctors and lawyers» as clients (though she has no idea what my profession is). I felt very misjudged and found her behavior to be unprofessional. I think the temperament test isn’t as much about the dogs as it is the humans since she never greeted my dog. Aside from being taken aback that she kicked me out, I was surprised to hear her say that she «doesn’t take bad dogs… it’s not worth $ 20/​day.» It saddens me that she views dogs as bad, especially given that she runs a dog daycare and boarding business. Unless you have a teacup breed which she seems to favor, I would not consider bringing your dog here.

Charles, my Italian greyhound, and I absolutely love Doggie Diggs! The staff and owner are friendly and very attentive. I bring Charles to Doggie Diggs a few days a week for daycare and have let him sleepover twice when I’ve gone out of town for work. Charles gets lots of time outdoors to run around and play with his buddies during daycare, but spends the hot afternoon indoors in the A/​C. Every time that I pick him up he’s tired from all the fun he’s had!
I really appreciate all the communication I get from the staff and owner as well as the indoor and outdoor webcams. Furthermore, since every dog has to pass a temperament test, I’m sure that Charles is safe from ill-​mannered bullies.
I highly recommend Doggie Diggs. They’ve made my life a lot easier.
