I don't understand the ugly reviews of It's a Dog's Life. I really don't.
Anyone who's spent any time at all with Linda knows she's all about the dog. She's one of the most giving and generous people I know.
I've left my boy there during the day; he jumps in the truck and right back out when we get there. He runs up to her door and if he could would push it open. When I pick him up, it's never the same time of day. Sometimes I stand outside the window and watch him play. Other times, by the time I get to the window, he's passed out along with the other dogs...the floor's littered with sleeping dogs! I know he's had a good day of play when he's passed out AT DAYCARE! :).
Linda and her employees truly care for your dog. If there's any correction being done, it's verbal. I've used the ugly voice to discourage the inside elimination; and the pretty voice when he goes outside. It's the easiest way. And it's the only way Linda will correct a dog. And all dogs do need correction at some time or another; to think otherwise is unrealistic. We all want well mannered dogs; but, they don't magically appear that way! It takes work; and Linda cares enough to try. But, she would NEVER be cruel to an animal...NEVER.
I've used her daycare and sleepover services with nothing but good experience....for 5 years. I've had both friends and family use her services; again, with nothing but good experiences and happy dogs. In fact, she's in my will to take my boy if something should happen to me....shhh....she doesn't know that! :) That's how much I trust her care of him. If she was unable to keep him, I know she wouldn't rest until she found the right home.
I'm sorry there are petty people out there with nothing better to do than to spread slander. It's pretty sad, really. If it were true, surely there would be pictures by now given practically all cell phones have cameras. There's not, because it doesn't happen. End of story.
If you're looking for a good place for your baby, there is no better place than It's a Dog's Life and Linda. The next best place to home, in my most humble opinion.
