Puppy Tale Lodge

Leaving our puppy at daycare with Stephanie and Sonny is the best decision we ever made. We love the small intimate atmosphere, and like that it is a smaller group for our puppy to play with. We had tried to leave him at daycare at other places with many more dogs and could tell that he was not happy.\n\nWith Stephanie, our puppy had a small group of puppy pals that he plays with everyday and we can see how happy he is when is at home. He is much calmer, well behaved and social-able with other dogs.\n\nStephanie has also groomed our puppy as well, and he always looks like a million bucks! Perfectly groomed, smells good and I can tell that Stephanie gives a lot of focus and attention to making him feel comfortable!\n\nWe will definitely keep going to Stephanie for years to come!

I cannot say enough good things about Stephanie and Sonny! I have been taking my French Bulldog puppy here and they have taught him (and ME) so much in such a short time! Stephanie truly cares about each and every pup in her facility. I appreciate her and Sonny's patience with my puppy. If you're looking for an awesome daycare, look no further.\n\nBonus points: they even teach your pup tricks! Archie already learned touch & high five! :) and they send lots of pictures and videos!!

Stephanie is a master groomer and is so knowledgeable about the proper way to groom a particular breed of dog. Sonny is so caring with Gracie that as soon as she sees him she can't wait to get inside. I have always been uneasy in the past leaving my dog with other groomers. But I have complete confidence that Gracie will not only be well-taken care of, but she will come out looking great. And she does!

UPDATE - the owners reached out after this review to discuss what happened, provide clarity around what the final accurate pricing should’ve been, and remedied with a refund. I appreciate the great customer service and am happy to bring my dog to a place owned by people who care so much!\n-\nThe person at the front desk was nice, however I would not recommend coming here for a groom unless you’re okay with extremely variable/not locked in pricing. Dropped off my dog (10 lbs) with the expectation that the groom cost would be around $110 + $15 for a deep teeth clean. Picked her up and was charged $175 instead, $50 more than expected and still before tip. I’m no stranger to slight price increases based on fur type but this was much more significant with little to no explanation. Seems like a nice place overall but just wanted to share so no one else gets stuck with a much larger bill than they planned for!

Where do I begin! I happen to live across the street but actually first interacted with Stephanie over the phone. A dog walker I had used was seen dragging my poor little frightful pup by a neighbor and immediately alerted me while at work. I'm an ICU RN and couldn't leave work. I was frantic. My mother (who is out of town) actually first reached out to Stephanie and was amazed at her professionalism and willingness to get my puppy in as soon as possible. Before I knew it, I had the application sent to me and I was talking to Stephanie on the phone. She instantly calmed me down and I realized I was at the right daycare. My puppy was extremely anxious (had worms and digestive issues when I first brought her home so her socialization was delayed in those first crucial months). After the first trial day, Stephanie gave me a very thorough evaluation of my pup and gave her a full 4 days to continue to evaluate and then a typed, even more thorough evaluation of what she will need coming up. Long story short, my now 7 month old puppy is one of the MOST playful pups at daycare and has even made some best friends!!! Stephanie has also started grooming her and has her on a schedule to desensitize her to the whole process and she is phenomenal at it. I don't know what I would have done without Stephanie, Sonny and Kevin. My schedule can be erratic and very long hours and I NEVER have to worry about my little girl. AMAZING doesn't even come close to how I would describe this team!! Thank you all!!!
