We have been using Charlton for 10 years. We put our puppies in the one month training class run by Columbia and board them whenever we travel. Because of our children, this is always at the very busiest times for the kennel, holiday season and spring break. Our dogs are known by name when they walk in to the kennel. We have a lab and large airedale. As soon as we cross the bridge they know where they are and can't wait to get out of the car. One time our lab started making the funniest noises when he walked into the entrance....it happened that he saw his trainer and before the trainer even turned around he was calling our dog by name...they love dogs and honor their individual personalities. No place is perfect, we are all human but our experience at Charlton has always been excellent and we regularly recommend it, especially to owners of larger breeds.
Pros: Love dogs, wonderful space for exercise, clean facilities
