Wet Nose Lodge & Spa

"The staff is always polite and welcoming. My dog enjoys her time there. I can tell, because when we go places that she doesn't like I have to struggle to get her out of the car and into the building. When we arrive at Wet Nose she starts jumping up on the sides of the car seat trying to hurry and get out. So this Christmas holiday we'll be leaving two dogs. Cammy and her new brother Zuko!!!"

"We love this place! Facility is nice and the staff are wonderful. They are very attentive to the details of our dog’s care and which gives us comfort when leaving our fur baby with them. The daily pics and photo shoots are our favorite! We love to see Boom Boom playing with the other dogs while he’s there. We feel fortunate to have a place like this close to us for our day care and boarding."

"Our dog Sky has been going to Wet Nose since she was a puppy. She has done all her training there. She loves it! Some days we feel like she would rather stay there then come home! They are so thoughtful and really care about the animals they serve. I never get nervous leaving Sky with the trained staff. We always receive compliments on how well-trained Sky is when we take her with us. She is Puppy STAR certified and working on her AKC Good Canine Citizen certification. Puppy day care is amazing and their special days during the month with treats and pictures are the best. You cannot go wrong with this facility. We highly recommend."

"I can't say enough wonderful things about Wet Nose Lodge! Our dog aboslutely LOVES going to play with all of his friends - both the 4-legged and 2-legged ones! After not having great experiences at other places, finding Wet Nose has been such a blessing. The staff is amazing with their knowledge and love for dogs. Finn loves every single staff member and I see it from the endless kisses upon his arrival to "school" and also when we pick him up. We take him more often than we need to, but with an empty nest at home there's not enough action for him...swimming, running through the sprinklers and playing tug of war are always more fun with friends! And the theme days they do periodically are the cutest - I love the pictures they always take. I would highly recommend giving them a chance if you're considering daycare and/or boarding...they're the best around!"

"I have nothing but good things to say about our experience with Wet Nose Lodge & Spa! We chose Wet Nose based on a lot of really good reviews here and at other sites. We had a big home remodeling project getting ready to start and having our 7 month old lab puppy in the middle of it just wasn't going to work. My wife was looking for a place to board her for 3 weeks and stumbled on to Wet Nose Lodge & Spa. Not only could we board her in what looked like very nice accommodations but also pay a bit more and get AKC certified puppy training in basic obedience. Sounded like a win/win for my wife and I and the dog. We dropped her off and spent an hour with Victoria who would be her trainer during the next 3 weeks. She went over what she would be doing and what was expected of us when our puppy returned home. We agreed and every day we got an email report card on her progress as well as pictures of her. We also got to see her in pictures and videos on their FB page. We saw her socializing with lots of other dogs her size, playing on the nice doggy playground equipment and even out dancing around happily in the snow! The outdoor area has astro-turf which makes for a better experience for the dogs, especially when it is wet outside. They also have a doggie swimming pool for fun in the warmer months. When we picked her up she was a completely different dog! I won't say she was perfect, after all she is still a puppy but she was so much better at controlling herself, greeting others and even sitting at a doorway while we opened the door instead of pushing us out of the way to get there! The day we picked her up she had had a thorough grooming, her coat was all smooth and silky and she smelled great, her dog nails were not only clipped but polished and smooth. We had 3 in home follow up lessons with Victoria and we continue to work with her as she improves every day. We plan to leave her there again later this year for the next level of training. Let's be honest, 21 days of boarding, day care and dedicated obedience training was not inexpensive but we felt it was really worth what we paid, the old saying that you get what you pay for is true. We met Coleman, the owner and he was super nice and really knew dog training. What's more he is a Veteran and it is an honor for us to help support a veteran owned business. One thing Coleman does is to take in dogs from shelters to give them basic training at no cost so they will be more likely to be adopted but also better canine citizens. We plan to continue to use WNS&L, both for additional training, boarding and daycare and even grooming."
