Peacock Bridge Kennels

My dog was there for 2 days, was so sick when I picked her up I had to take her to the emergency dog hospital before we ever got home, called them and they said she was fine, not, she ended up on antibiotics and pain killers, will never use them again, go to pet smart!

We’ve used Peacock Bridge for both boarding and training:
Boarding:
We haven’t boarded our dogs anywhere else, so I can’t objectively compare, but I didn’t have any complaints. The staff is friendly and professional, and my dogs weren’t scared to come back, so they can’t have had TOO bad of a time.
Training:
We have had one dog trained, and are currently having our second dog trained by Andy and his crew for the 2-​week in-​house program. First, as a disclaimer — THEY USE ELECTRONIC (aka «shock») COLLARS as part of their training program. If you have an ethical objection to this, then don’t bother taking your dog to train here.
As for me, I tested the shock collar on myself (true story), and decided that, although it’s definitely not a pleasant feeling, its not painful, and is certainly better than smacking a dog for getting into trouble (something that Andy & his trainers are very much against). The first dog has completed the 2-​wk training, and while we still have work to do with him at home, he’s so much better than before — we can actually take him out in public, let him run off-​leash in parks, and generally do all of the things we couldn’t do with him before (because he was a stubborn little dachshund who thought he was the boss).
They focus on the off-​leash «come» and «down» & «stay» commands to build a strong obedience foundation (for the standard obedience school … they also have puppy school, etc). Overall I’m very pleased — my dog came back as the same dog (I was worried he might return as a robot, with no personality) — he was still loving and playful, if a little more timid (he’s still getting used to his position at the bottom of the totem pole, rather than the top!).
The downside — it’s not cheap. It cost $ 1750/​dog for the obedience school, and even the boarding costs seem a little pricey for a rural Pennsylvania area. But the staff is very friendly and professional, and they take good care of the dogs (and kitties, too!)

We have been using Peacock Bridge Kennels for well over 10 years. It’s a safe place for your dogs while away on vacation. The staff is friendly and professional.
One complaint: If you choose the later pick up time (5−6pm or after 12noon) they will charge you and extra day even if your dog does not stay the night.
