Without a doubt, the best kennels in the South Bay Area.A little background... I adopted my dog Georgia from a friend, who had in turn adopted her from another family who got her as a puppy. What they didn't tell my friend was that they hadn't socialized her as a puppy, so she was deathly afraid of other dogs (and cats), and would react extremely unpredictably to any situation involving other pets.

By default all dogs get one walk and one playtime per day, but you can request as many as you like for which you get charged at the rate of $2-3 more. I had her down for 3 playtimes and 2 walks.
