Totally Great!

For everyone who firmly believes that their dog is a member of the family and deserves the best possible treatment....This Is the Place!!

My Furbaby, like everyone's, has his own peculiararities but the folks at Highmark seem to be able to identify these and deal with them in a very positive manner. This means that my demanding, independant Bouvier comes home happy because he THINKS that he has been in charge!

In addition to very positive daycare and boarding experiences, the groomer (Tiffany) is wonderful. Very few groomers really understand how to work with this breed. She not only does a great job of making him look beautiful, but she manages his "attitude" so that the process is almost stress-free for the dog.

I am thrilled with the whole complement of services available at Highmark!

Fabulous Day Care and Boarding

Provided by Citysearch

After going to other day care and boarding facilities, we have found Highmark Kennel to be the best fit for us and our dog. At other places, she would either come home: 1) insanely energetic or 2) crazy. We determined it was because 1) at some places, she barely was let out to run and play 2) she was out with too many other dogs and little supervision. She picked up bad habits from other dogs at another location and the change in her behavior and personality was scary. \r We changed to Highmark Kennel, and within a couple of weeks, we got our dog back. It is amazing but understandable to realize how much a day care/boarding environment plays into the behavior of your dog, but I guess it's like kids and the circles of friends they have. \r We switched to Highmark also bc of their prices and flexibility to go when you want, no package or pre-paid deal needed to get a $9 per day rate for day care, and low 20s for boarding.\r At other places, our dog would also come home with all kinds of medical stuff that she clearly picked up from being around so many other dogs. Now, at Highmark, she's only with two or three other dogs at a time. So things aren't as crazy and medically, there is less chance of spreading something.\r The staff at Highmark Kennel are WONDERFUL. They use training techniques when they walk her from the receiptionist area to the dog area. Our dog is better about waiting at doors and not pulling on leashes since the Highmark Kennel staff reinforce the training. I also feel more comfortable knowing that, when we board our dog, the owner is on property at night.\r Our dog comes home more tired and content than any other place we've taken her to for boarding and day care. And she isn't ever insanely energetic or crazy any longer. To me, this is the true test of how effective a day care/boarding facility is. All around, Highmark is the best option we have found for our dog. HIGHLY suggest taking your dog here!!!
