We Talk Dog

I have taken my dog to ‘We Talk Dog’ several times for boarding. Almost every time, something was distressing upon pickup, but I let it go (like the time I watched through the fence as one of their trainers threw a leash at another dog, hitting the dog in the head). This time I picked up on Saturday– and confused the pickup time– thinking they told me to pick up after his bath ‘at 4′, when they must have said ‘by 4′ (though really, I think she said ‘at 4′). I arrived at 4:05, and the fence was locked. I could see employees inside, so i called, and no one picked up. I knocked on the employee entrance, and was greeted by a confrontational employee who said it was impossible for me to pick up my dog. I pleaded, offered to pay for the extra day, and to leave a credit card and return the next day to pay. She texted the manager, and eventually I was put on the phone with an even more rude manager who refused to give me my dog (citing some ridiculous line in a contract, which is technically just an agreement between us that I was asking to be put aside, and she was treating as if it were their right to keep my dog). I reiterated the offer to leave a credit card, and return the next day– at which point she just became more testy. I asked for the owners contact information, and was refused. I could hear my dog barking inside. I am distressed at the lack of compassion for my barking dog, as well as the rude behavior of the employee, and even more so, the manager.

I have been taking my dog here for almost a year, and could not be happier! The trainers and staff are great, and a joy to work with. I have used the daycare, boarding and grooming services.

We Talk Dog is the absolute best training, daycare, boarding and grooming facility. Adam and his team are really good people and they care about the dogs. We have a 5 year old rescue terrier/​dachshund mix and a pure bred jack russell puppy and they both love going to We Talk Dog. I never worry about our dogs when they are at We Talk Dog. They treat my dogs with kindness and love. I love that whoever greets us when we arrive, knows our dogs by name and is genuinely happy to see them! When I pick them up at the end of the day, I know they have had fun!

I love We Talk Dog!!! It’s Lilly Beans favorite place!!!
Everyone should take their dogs there!
Adam and his whole team are awesome!

We Talk Dog is a great choice if you feel like your furry best friend needs to learn a few manners. Their trainers will come to your house to teach you to send the right signals to get the behavior you want. They also offer grooming, daycare and boarding in traditional kennels or custom built suites for comfy overnight stays. They’ll even do additional training while your dog is in day care!

I would not take my dogs there. Unkempt, Elitist, poor business practices. We called about enrolling our rescue dog in daycare and getting some training to help integrate her into the world. Our message was taken and they never called back. so I figured I would just take her down there and have a talk with these folks. I grabbed her vet papers. I had the day off so I threw on my t-​shirt and flip flops since it was a hot summer day and upon arrival we were greeted by poo on the floor of the foyer and were looked up and down by the woman standing there who promptly frowned. She talked with the peson in front of me for a bit longer while studying us with that same frown on her face and after they finished their conversation asked «May I help you?». So a little back story on this dog. She is a boston terrier who we are fostering for a local rescue. She came from a puppy mill situation and she has a scar on one eye and at the point of writing this is still pretty malnourished. She is not the prettiest dog in the world but she is sweet and everyone who knows her loves her, Except this person apparently. SO, I told her what we were interested in and the best she would offer up was a piece of paper to sign up that she never actually gave me. She then launched into the fact that we would have to schedule a temperament assessment and that the next available appointment was several weeks out. I told her we had called several weeks ago and no-​one called us back. She said that she had seen my message and that their trainers were «Very busy» and that they simply could not afford the time to contact me. I explained to her the situation with this dog being a rescue and that being a foster home we were not likely to have her too very long to which she simply stuff the paper back in the manilla envelope from which it came and gave me that tilted head, high pitched, insincere, «Sorry». So we left. Precious, our rescue dog, seemed to be a little down about it so I went by our local bagel shop who makes dog treats and picked us both up a little something for the rejection. All in all though, after thinking about it, I would not take any of my dogs to this place. Between the poo on the floor, the bad attitude, and the inability to return a phone call I don’t know that I would trust these folks with my family. We had hoped to get this poor little dog some extra socialization and training to help her get along with her permanent home. I guess the search continues. I may send my spouse by in work garb with one of our fluffier dogs to see how she is treated just as an experiment.

Want to put all your friends’ dogs to shame with your well-​behaved four-​legged friend? Call We Talk Dog.
I can’t say enough great things about the trainers, Adam and Kalyn. They are so knowledgeable, professional and friendly. And best of all — they LOVE what they do!
The training principles they taught us back in 2009 will remain with us for life. Our welsh corgi, Solo, is now 3 years old and is so friendly and well-​behaved. We are able to take him almost everywhere we go and know he will always obey our commands. All of our friends love being around Solo. We owe it all to We Talk Dog!
