Creative Dog Training - Homewood

"Love it. The staff is amazing and it's so much more than I expected when we started using the daycare. Highly recommend."

"Don’t recommend this to be a place of work or a place to take your dogs. Very understaffed, management is very very unprofessional towards their workers/ex workers so I’ve heard. Business offers training and takes money for it but does NOT do it. There’s no telling what else they take money for and puts it in their pockets and never does what they was paid for. In the back where customers aren’t allowed (for reason) is very very nasty and falling apart. Owner doesn’t fix anything until it’s falling apart or has no other choice. The dogs fence fight and bites the workers. I’ve heard of aggressive dogs being allowed out with the others and getting in fights every other day or everyday. When I was dropping my dog off one time I witnessed one of the fights. All of the dogs was going after the one dog coming in the other smaller dogs was barking and loosing their minds also trying to go after that dog. And sadly one, ONE person was trying to stop the fight. If they can’t get more people to help and learn how to control the dogs then I will continue to not recommend this place for the safety of other dogs. They are our fur babies. If it was a human daycare this place would be closed down or sued. I no longer take my dog here. I don’t want him getting hurt by careless people. Oh and they aren’t allowed to have their phones out there. I was told by an employee that worked there. So if anything ever happened to the people out there or the dogs no one would know until someone came out to check. That’s so dangerous, reckless and careless for their employees. Please do not take your dog here for their safety!!"

"I'm not sure what is going on at Creative, but the service definitely isn't what it used to be. I have been a loyal customer since 2011, but have had to change where I take my dogs because of unreliable service and concerns about the condition of the facilities. For example, the facility smells strongly of dog urine and my dog once was returned to me with a large amount of feces on his legs. During spring break we were asked to make reservations for day care, which we happily did. Then those reservations weren't honored and we were turned away because they have too many dogs. Emails to the owner to talk about the situation went unanswered. This week they changed their drop-in policy and never informed their customers - turning us away unexpectedly again. I'm sad because this used to be a great place, but it isn't any longer."

"CDT isn't our normal boarder, but i almost effed up Thanksgiving by forgetting to schedule Jackie to board. Creative Dog Training came through for us! I couldn't believe they had room! And when we got there, they were SO NICE. Oh my gosh, i can't remember her name, but she was tiny & had dark hair like me. She was really able to make me feel confident about leaving him in their care. Jack was having some hotspot issues, so she took his medicine & told me they keep a close eye on him. They also were able to put him in a play group for older dogs, which they posted pictures on Facebook every day! They also didn't care that I'm a helicopter dog mom & called every day to check. =) I was so excited, i burst through the door at the facility & announced i was there to pick up my dog. (I also may have done a little dance.) The little girl from before said Jackie's name before i even got a chance to! They really know & care about their clients! Also, when i picked him up, they'd been taking such great care of his hotspots, they were almost totally resolved!! =O 11/10 experience, will DEFINITELY board there again!"

"I took my dog here for a class lesson and Mrs. Margaret was absolutely wonderful. She made the lesson easy and fun for my children and has certainly made a difference in my dog. She has a way with training not only dogs, but owners too! I would recommend Creative to anyone!"
