We were so lucky to find Mutt Hutt for our troubled adopted standard poodle. Alex is 2-1/2 and has been with us for five months, but the behaviorist tells us he was never socialized, and he is a shy, anxious dog; when he came to us he did not know how to climb steps, for Pete's sake. He has totally bonded to me, clings to my side everywhere, has learned to play ball ... but has only slowly learned to accept other pedestrians on the street, guests in the house. He retreats and fear pees, even from my gentle husband. I crated him twice when we first got him, but he almost went nuts in the crate, so the question of where to board him when we travel was acute. Fortunately we had been living near Mutt Hutt when we acquired Alex and the one afternoon when I could not have him near me, I had put him into day care there. Alex has spent five days at Mutt Hutt recently, and anyone who answered the phone at Mutt Hutt knew Alex, knew how he had been behaving, was happy to spend lots of time telling me how he was doing. They accommodated his fears, paid attention to workers he bonded with; they were beyond wonderful. It's worth the 30 mile drive to take him there! They are helping me to save my dog.
Pros: Attentive, kindly pet care.
Cons: None.
