Safe and Secure by collenebabcock via Citysearch on 9/20/2010
I leave my dog here for trips I cannot bring him and when I get back I find my dog well taken care of. Staff were friendly and prices were okay. A great place that may need improvement in the facilities but overall a very satisfied…
Happy Hound Is The Best by Mescaron via Citysearch on 6/28/2010
I have been a Happy Hound client for several years. I appreciate the convenience and I love that I can relax on vacation knowing my pooch is safe and happy. HH's customer service is great too and the staffers love the dogs.
Happy Chihuahua = Happy Owner by Drannik via Citysearch on 6/25/2010
What a wonderful experience my dog and I have had at Happy Hound! I used to own a yappy, nip at your heels, anti-social Chihuahua but after 2 weeks at the Happy Hound Board and Train school - I now own a calm, cooperative, walks by my…
Terrible Place! Avoid! by Michael M via Insider Pages on 3/19/2010
I had thought about using Happy Hound based on all of the positive reviews...until I went there. I found the prices to be about average (which are still too high in my book), but when I got there...the place is an old warehouse in a bad…
Pretty Good In My Book! by Emily E via Insider Pages on 8/31/2008
I am sitting here reading some/all of these ratings and the negative ones are catching my eye mainly. The folks that have made it through the assessments (as long as they are!) and paid for the days of boarding or is it daycare? whatever;…
Not a great option for very small dogs by ahabt via Citysearch on 4/12/2008
I have heard good things about them, but when I called them about daycare for my 5-year-old, 6-lb. toy dog, it was kind of a washout. I was told that he could only be accommodated with the puppies, and I know my guy enjoys the company of…
Wonderful place to drop your buddy off. by tcinsf via Citysearch on 2/21/2008
I'm rather stunned by the recent harsh negative reviews. I started taking my big, high-spirited pup there a couple of months ago, and it has been great for him. I put him in day-care so that he can get a full day of exercise a couple of…
Dissatisfied with the care of my dog- won't use them again or refer anyone to them by BBOakland via Citysearch on 2/18/2008
I found Happy Hounds (HH) via this site with positive remarks & that's why I decided to take my dog there for daycare/overnights; however, my experience was quite the opposite. I'm a responsible dog owner with a very healthy dog. I took my…
Most Horriable 3 hour interview Experience!!! by jasaranavarro via Citysearch on 12/27/2007
My husband, my dog and I where all put through a 3 hour interview process for initiation. It was horrible. The interviewer was so obsessed with psycho analyzing our dog that by the time we where released we never wanted to go back. He…
Happy Hound -- very bad experience by J M via Insider Pages on 5/2/2007
As a puppy, my dog really liked the place. But once he was moved into the large dog section, I had to drag him inside. I kept asking the staff what might be going on with him, and they kept assuring me he had fun there. They were no help…
Best Doggy Daycare in the Bay! by about4567 via Citysearch on 12/6/2006
I can't say enough to explain how both me and my dogs feel about Happy Hound. The service is great, the enviroment is great, the staff is above great! I come from a small town and to move to the bay area with my pooches it was a relief to…
Great place for active dogs by Ethan S via Insider Pages on 11/10/2006
We are mostly happy with Happy Hound. The owner, Suzanne, really understands the needs of her clients. The hours and location are convenient. The staff are friendly and seem to keep a close watch over the dogs for potential problems. …
the happiest hounds on earth go to happy hound! by hezmodo via Citysearch on 9/5/2006
Dogs run free in supervised, enclosed areas, designated by size; small, med and large dogs. Handlers rotate between the enclosures, getting to know all of their charges, while ensuring everyone is playing nice and not making a ruckus.…
Terrible! by Scott P via Insider Pages on 6/5/2006
Terrible! We took our puppy to Happy Hound and found out that they spray the dogs in the face with water if they bark!\r
The frustrating part is that they lied and said they only use water to break up a dog fight.... so I asked if my dog…
Refer with confidence! by yrnamhere via Citysearch on 12/3/2004
I am so afraid to refer people to kennels in the local area. I have been thrilled to find such a great new facility that I can refer with confidence, especially with so many of us who work late and would like to bring our dogs to work! …
Happy Hounds are Happier! by riverchick via Citysearch on 7/9/2004
I was traveling to the Oakland area with my pooch, but needed a place to board her for a few days. The staff at Happy Hound is GREAT! They are friendly, knowledgable & very loving toward the dogs who board there. I think my dog had a…
