Pet Behavior Help

4.9(75)✓ Google-verified

Owners consistently report serious behavior improvements after working with Valerie and the team.

Classes span puppies through rally and agility, with owners praising instructors Allie, Julie, Stacy, and Preston by name. Dogs return excited; owners feel they understand their pets better. Reasonable pricing for the expertise offered.

Chapel Hill Pet Retreat

4.8(92)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Dogs leave tired and happy; owners consistently mention staff recognition and genuine attentiveness. Even anxious or newly-boarded dogs settle in well and return looking forward to the next visit. Their website lists daycare, boarding, grooming, bath, nail care, deshedding, and medication admin. Pricing is transparent (daycare $30 full day, $17 half day; boarding $50 first pet nightly). Staff send photos during stays and work around owner schedules, which reviewers repeatedly credit as less stressful than alternatives.

Dogwood Veterinary Hospital & Pet Resort

4.8(214)✓ Google-verified

Staff genuinely bond with pets and owners, fitting urgent appointments quickly and calling with updates. The resort handles multi-medication boarding smoothly, and vets spend time educating owners on the floor. Two reviewers raised concerns about surgery recommendations they later regretted, particularly around dental cleanings under anesthesia, and one disputed a cancer diagnosis made without testing, suggesting scrutiny on elective procedures is warranted.

Noah's Ark Kennel & Cattery

4.8(84)✓ Google-verifiedPublishes prices

Noah's Ark has earned strong trust from most owners over 27 years, with staff who know individual pets well and handle birds, rabbits, and exotics that few local facilities accept. Staff members like Christina and Lynn are named repeatedly for genuine care. A handful of owners report communication gaps (missed photo updates, unanswered phone calls) and one serious issue: a dog picked up with an unreported facial cut after five days, plus unpaid nail clipping and no follow-up on a blanket left for cleaning.

Green Beagle Lodge

4.6(340)✓ Google-verified

Most owners report long-term loyalty, with dogs returning exhausted and happy and staff sending regular updates. However, serious incidents of kennel cough, missed medications, and inconsistent cancellation policy enforcement have damaged trust for some families, particularly around medical care and communication after problems arise.

New Hope Dog Training Center

4.7(110)✓ Google-verified

Most clients report significant behavioral improvements, with dogs returning calmer and more obedient after 3-week boarding and training programs. Gene and Berk teach owners practical management techniques and provide follow-up Zoom sessions to reinforce skills. However, two negative reviews document injury concerns, insensitive communication, and disagreements over e-collar intensity for small dogs, raising questions about facility safety and trainer temperament consistency.

Southern Community Dog Park

4.7(240)

Reviewers consistently praise the spacious, well-maintained park with separate fenced areas for small and large dogs, abundant shade, water stations, and covered seating. The dirt surface can get muddy after rain, and some note that occasional dog owner supervision lapses occur.

Sup Dogs

4.4(1265)✓ Google-verified

Most visitors praise Sup Dogs for quick service, friendly staff, and affordable hot dogs and burgers with house-made sauce. Occasional complaints about inattentive server performance and uneven food quality don't deter the steady repeat crowd.
