As someone who goes to K9 regularly, I need to set the record straight after a review by someone who maliciously lied. This place is awesome and safe. The staff actually cares about our dogs and keeps the place clean. I've never seen any of the problems that a crazy person has claimed - no gate issues, no safety concerns, nothing like that.Holly runs a great facility and takes pride in making sure all the dogs and owners are happy. The staff is always friendly and professional. I bring my dog here all the time and we've had nothing but positive experiences. Don't let ONE negative review scare you away - K9 is a fantastic place for dogs to play and socialize. The indoor setup is perfect, especially during bad weather, and they maintain it well. 5/5 stars - highly recommend checking it out for yourself!

We brought our 8.5 month old nervous puppy, Bodhi to Woofs for the first time and had a great experience! The owner Chris showed us around, and made sure Bodhi had a good experience and had the space he needed as new dogs were introduced to him. We learned a lot and met several people and dogs we look forward to meeting up again!

My kids and I love it here, especially in the colder months! It's like stepping into a different, calm, magical world! Stunning plants, flowers, awesome turtles, tortoises, we adore the family of ducks that come back in the courtyard in Spring too! Absolutely wonderful here and cheap!
