So, while I was in New York, I needed a place for my dogs to go during the day until my friend, Calen, was off work. We decided to use Wagville which is a daycare, boarding and grooming facility for dogs (obviously).
Side note: Wanna know the best part about it? It's SO close to my house! Wanna know the funniest part about it? Yeah, we went to open up the same type of facility a year and half ago right acrossed the street from it and was going to name it "Watch Dog" (get it? haha). We got all the way to facilities and lawyers before we decided against it. We realized we wouldn't have a life because of all of the time and effort this type of business requires.
Anyway, we went to have them evaluated before we left to make sure they would be ok there. I didn't tell the trainer, Julie, that I was a dog trainer myself because I didn't know if that would be awkward or not while she is trying to do her thing. Anyway, that is beside the point...
Quinn, being the small dog that she THINKS she is, got to be in the small dog area the entire time. She is so funny, it's where she is most comfortable and it showed when they introduced the areas (big dog area and small dog area) to her. She just feels right at home with the tiny ones...I love her to pieces for that.
Wagville gives report cards at the end of each day that the dogs are there and overall, Quinn was intimidated (yes, by the small dogs) but finally warmed up and made some friends, and Emmitt was immediately the man of the place. So cute.
A great feature Wagville has is the webcams, we got to watch them in New York which was quite a treat. I worry about my babies constantly so it was a great way to relax about them.
I am giving shout outs to Wagville because I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were in a good place getting tons of exercise. The fact that they allowed Quinn to be with the small dogs all day, everyday, regardless that she is a big Doberman, meant a lot to me. It made me see they really do evaluate the dogs accordingly and will take the necessary steps to make sure they are comfortable. So...Kudos to you Wagville!
