Best place to go to!

by Jenn880

I recently moved to the area and I wanted to do my research before taking my lab to a doggie daycare. I went to about 4 different daycares in the neighborhood and I must say that Running Paws beats them all! They have the largest play area I've seen where the dogs aren't bunched up together and have plenty of room to run and play. They even have balls for them to chase around! Something that other daycares lacked in order to prevent "aggression", which tells me they must not be screening their dogs very well. The staff was also very helpful when it came to helping me figure out which package was best suited for my dog, and did not automatically try to push for the most expensive one. My lab is already becoming a weekly regular and seems to absolutely love the place. I'd recommend Running Paws to anyone that wants to take their pooch to a safe, clean and loving environment!

My Dog's Favorite Place on Earth!

by Sali T

I usually don't write reviews but as I was surfing the net and wanted to see what people were saying about our dog daycare Running Paws.

I was really taken back by the negative review "Good on Paper, not so much in Practice". The so called potential client has really painted a bad picture of a wonderful establishment.

We have been using Running Paws for our two French Bullldogs for almost a year now and have nothing but a positive experience with the staff. Plus, I meet other dog owners in the park who use them as well and love them just as much as me.

Good on paper, not so much in practice.

by GabGon

I was very disappointed in this place. Reading all the positive reviews I was looking forward to checking it out in person. I was initially pleased as the place was VERY clean in comparison to other daycares. However that is as far as I'd go when saying anything positive about this place.

Right away I noticed the dogs were being soaked with water for no apparent reason other than barking. I thought this was a place for them to have fun and act like...dogs. Second, I was given bland answers to my questions. Not even sure I was speaking with the right person as he didn't seem very knowledgeable to begin with, unfortunately there didn't seem to be anyone else I could redirect my concerns to. Lastly, what really turned me off was the yelling I kept hearing. The workers there do not seem to genuinely care about the animals they work with and treat them as an annoyance. I was absolutely appalled by this behavior and would not recommend that anyone bring their beloved dog there.

Great for athletic dogs

by gzicherm

We have a very athletic 6 year old Aussie cattle dog/Staff terrier mix rescue. She has almost limitless energy, and without sufficient exercise, she's difficult to manage and enjoy socially.

My partner likes to run, but can only take her 1-2 days a week, and I had been searching for a more athletic dog care service for a while. When I found Running Paws, I was apprehensive that they could keep a schedule and give Roxie (our pup) the workout she needs.

They were super professional, and our runner was awesome. They've been great to work with, and have helped Roxie get the exercise she needs. I recommend them all the time to folks that need more exercise, and really like working with them.

Fun & Safe Place!

by Aspen 65421

I have been a monthly client for almost a year now at Running Paws (daycare), we use them 5-6 times a week. My dog absolutely loves it and sometimes does not want to leave when we pick her up at night (which I admit makes me feel a little bad). I read the review about the staff using pine sol and we just have never had that experience with them. When I pick up my dog at night I see them cleaning intensely but I never have smelled pine sol (and I know that smell very well because I dislike it). My husband and I appreciate how clean they keep their facility and would recommend it very highly.
