Hal Wheeler School For Dogs

Update: As you can see this business owner doesn't have any class to respond to a review. It is quite pathetic that a person who allegedly trains dogs won't board a pit bull mix. If they are unable to babysit one of the most common known household pets than you probably should avoid their bargain "34.95 boarding special" they have advertised outside their property. You are better off finding a reputable and professional place to board or train your pet Won't take my dog breed and won't do a meet and greet (boxer/lab). Must not be capable of what they claim they are. Not much else to say other than that the gentleman who answered the phone wasn't friendly and seemed bothered about a potential new customer.

I am confused and disappointed. We had always boarded our dogs here all through their lives. We have also boarded our cats here. When we adopted (only1 dog now) Jasper who is a 7 year old, 70 pound lab mix with heinz 57 heritage, we began boarding him at another provider because they provide open play, and Jasper does very well with that. Jasper is a terrific dog. He gets along well with other dogs, and people. He lived with our bossy Aussie mix until she died and he has lived with several cats. He shares the couch at night with our cat and us. We were hoping to board him with Hal Wheeler for a short 3 day weekend. I brought Jasper up to meet with Mike for an evaluation, at their request. Jasper was rejected - "not a good fit", "I don't want him here". I was shocked. I asked Mike for an explanation. None was given..."not a good fit". Mike was not very helpful to me, and not very personable. There are lots of other good places we can board, and that will accept Jasper for the great dog he is. We will not be returning to Hal Wheeler and that is a disappointment, because we used them for so many years. Something has changed at Hal Wheeler?

I tried to get my dog trained there….. as soon as I got inside with my puppy which at the time was 3 months old I was interrupted by the secretary or whomever she was to tell me that they could take my dog because of the breed, then I asked her if she knows the breed and she replied that she didn’t know but they couldn’t take it because the insurance didn’t allow it. The I told her that my dog wasn’t a pit bull but she said they couldn’t take him. Save yourself sometime and don’t bother going there.
