An Outstanding Canine Haven: Idaho Dog Park
I cannot speak highly enough of Idaho Dog Park—an exceptional haven for our beloved Rottweiler, Rose. Over the past eight months, our experience with this establishment has been nothing short of phenomenal. From the moment we stepped foot into the park, we knew we had found a true gem.
The staff at Idaho Dog Park, particularly Laura, Keana, and Katie, have been an absolute pleasure to work with. Their dedication and genuine love for animals are evident in every interaction. They have gone above and beyond to ensure that Rose receives the utmost care and attention. Being just a year old, Rose occasionally displays some behavior that needs correction, and we're grateful for the team's commitment to guiding her towards being a well-mannered lady. Their expertise and patience have been invaluable.
What truly sets Idaho Dog Park apart is the warmth and enthusiasm with which they welcome Rose each and every time. It warms our hearts to witness their genuine joy as they engage with her, play with her, and shower her with affection. The love they have for our furry friend is palpable, and it instills in us a sense of comfort and peace of mind. Knowing that Rose is in their capable hands during her day at the park is truly reassuring.
The environment at Idaho Dog Park is simply outstanding. The facilities are well-maintained, clean, and thoughtfully designed to cater to the needs of our four-legged companions. The spacious play areas allow dogs to roam freely and engage in stimulating activities, ensuring they have a fantastic time socializing and burning off their energy. It's evident that the team at Idaho Dog Park has created an environment that fosters a genuine sense of happiness and well-being for all dogs fortunate enough to visit.
I wholeheartedly recommend Idaho Dog Park to all dog owners seeking a remarkable experience for their furry family members. The care and attention provided by Laura, Kiana, Katie, and the entire team are unparalleled. They treat each dog as if it were their own, going above and beyond to ensure their happiness, comfort, and safety. At Idaho Dog Park, your furry friend will receive the love, nurturing, and care they deserve, and perhaps even more.
Idaho Dog Park is a haven where dogs become part of a loving community, and we couldn't be more grateful to have found it. Trust them with your precious pup, and you'll discover a place that exceeds all expectations. Five stars are simply not enough to convey our immense satisfaction and gratitude for the outstanding experience we've had at...
Read moreUpdate as of 8/23/23: Initially, I chose to rate IDP a 3/5 because despite issues 1&2 below I continued to send my dogs there.
However, following accusations from IDP that I lied or “fabricated” my review, I have since chosen to update my rating from 3 stars to 2 stars.
—— I sent my two dogs here for several years for doggy daycare (with several 30 pack purchased packages) and many times with boarding.
The staff is friendly, but inconsistent and very disorganized.
There was one incident where the staff gave me the wrong dog. One of my dogs is a female golden retriever. Upon getting my two dogs they handed me a golden retriever male. However, I was in such a hurry to pick my kids up from an activity that it wasn’t until I was walking out to the parking lot that I realized it wasn’t my dog. They put her collar on the male dog.
It doesn’t seem that the facility is adequately cleaned. Aside from the extreme smell of dog upon entering the facility (I’ve been to many dog daycares that don’t smell like dog), on multiple occasions I picked up one of my dogs with fecal matter all over him. While I was understanding initially, it was very frustrating when it happened on multiple occasions. It was also upsetting that I had to point out that my dog was dirty with fecal matter and needed to be cleaned. I don’t know if staff is not cleaning the facility up as quickly as they should or what is going on.
The final strike, however, was a sudden recommendation from the staff that my golden retriever (who had been attending for several years) be sent to special training because she was “too submissive”. I was told initially that we could try again to see how she would do. After sometime, my husband called in advance to arrange sending her again, and was then told that she would only be welcomed back if she was sedated with medication.
To my knowledge none of the staff is trained in veterinary medicine or are certified dog trainers. Moreover, my dogs had just completed an intensive dog training program with extreme success at a different facility in Boise.
I was unwilling to sedate my dog, so they said she could no longer attend. Fortunately, however, Idaho dog park was willing to refund me for the rest of the package...
Read moreWe had an absolutely wonderful experience with Idaho Dog Park. We have two Newfoundland puppies (@BalooandMissBianca) and at the time of visit they were 8 and 10 months old. We visited quite a few different facilities around the valley but instantly loved Idaho dog park.
For one, they do not let dogs work it out on their own. Which is a big plus, I was shocked frankly that other places in town said "it is normal to have your dog come back with a few bumps or scratches". So again very happy IDP does not allow that behavior.
We were also very pleased with the cleanliness of the facilities, it did not smell like a dog boarding facility when walking in which shows how clean it truly is. Our pups stayed there for 6 nights and we got them their own private room so they could stay with one another. A huge plus for us was the cameras, we are those people to check in on them during their stay and it really gave us a peace of mind that our dogs were being taken care of.
My only wish, was more people would start to be cognizant of is that large breeds in particular have to wait to be neutered or spayed. We were recommended by multiple vets to wait until a year and half to do so along with the breeder. So as a large breed owner it would nice to not have to explain yourself each time go to a facility.
Overall Idaho Dog Park is the premier dog daycare and boarding facility in the Treasure Valley. With large play yards indoor and outdoor capabilities and specialty care section. They should be everyone's first choice to take care of...
