We recently sent out an email asking our clients what they thought of our services and our staff.  Here are a few responses...

 

Thanks for providing such a wonderful service.  All of the employees we have encountered at Doug the Dog Man have been very helpful and pleasant.  They give us feedback on how Max is doing and Max clearly enjoys going each week.  The staff seems to enjoy Max, too!  We're grateful you have added grooming services. – Susan

Wonderful!!  Jada absolutely loves you and being at Daycare! - Jason

We couldn't be happier with the care Peabody gets every time he attends daycare. Both Sherry and Wayne have gone out of their way to make the entire experience easy for us. It may seem like a small thing, but they regularly come retrieve Peabody from me so that I don't have to deal with the baby in the cold. They let me know how his day went, and seem genuinely happy to see him in the mornings. 

Peabody has been in daycare since he was a puppy and has always loved the socialization with the dogs and people. I know he gets to do his favorite things with you all - chase the ball - and that he gets plenty of attention and affection. Knowing he is there being so well loved each day makes it possible for my husband and me to focus on work during the day without worrying about him. He comes home happy and tired :) – Sarah

We love you.  Cambi loves you.  What would we do without you? – Debbie

-----------

I think your service is terrific.  Lola enjoys going, I enjoy sending her.  Everyone is very friendly and kind.  I enjoy peaking thru the window when Lola arrives to see the nice greeting she receives from dogs and humans alike! – Jean

Both Falco and I LOVE your service. It works out great for us.

1.) My favorite thing is your flexibility. It is really wonderful to have such large blocks of time when we can drop off and pick up.

2)  I really feel that everybody knows my dog and that he is a better dog for having day care and not just because he is tired.

3) Wayne is a great guy. I don't know the new woman well but she seems very pleasant. Drop off and pick-up is always an efficient experience. I feel that you are happy to see us come and happy to see us go! (oops that doesn't sound quite right- I mean I feel that you appreciate our business and it shows)  

 4) I love the way you keep us updated via email. woks for me!

 - Diane

We love it.  Sandy would live there if he could.  I'd use it more often if possible. People there are always pleasant.  Dogs are well taken care of and happy. – Hilary

I've been very happy with the service you're providing. Dugu has a great time there, and gets a good workout - I look forward to the quiet evenings at home afterwards :) You, Wayne & Sherry have all been great - I especially like the feedback that you've all been giving me on how Dugu is progressing. It seems pretty clear that he's more & more comfortable and confident each time he spends the day with you.  

I like to see the way that you all interact with the dogs - I've never walked away thinking that Dugu was just being watched, but rather he was being well taken care of. You're firm with him when he needs it, but affectionate too - I couldn't ask for anything more.  Thanks! – Kim

I can't say enough wonderful things about you and your team.   

As you know, I was a little nervous in the beginning but you and your team quickly put my nervousness to rest. 

Everyone is so friendly and I know you all take care of Chester just as I do.

Thank you for all you do. - Stacy

Your service is working perfectly for us.  Both Wayne and Sherry (and you of course) are wonderful, always pleasant and evidently great with dogs. Gino is very comfortable walking in there and gets very excited to see any one of you. – Jill

-----------

You are doing a terrific job, so all my feedback is positive.  Just keep up the good work.  Susan

I find your service to be very convenient.  Your employees including yourself always treat me very well.  I'm impressed that they know my name and can easily   identify my dog Bomber. – Jason

-----------

Well, what can I say? I really cannot say enough. Everyone is fantastic. We feel as though all of you treat Johnnie as if she was your own. She looks forward to being there every day. She is happy when she comes home which reinforces that she is well treated throughout the day. Her year at Doggie Day Care has made her an even better pet than I could have imagined! (And that is hard to believe because I was sold on her from the day I saw her puppy pictures!!!). Wayne and Sherrie are great to us and you are the best! You have to know I am one of your best advertisers!!! I sing your praises all the time. – Nancy

-----------

I think the business is great and gives Jake a nice change during his rather boring week while I'm working.  As I said the other day, Jake seems completely wiped out for 24 hours after a session with you.  – Kathy

-----------

Kiwi loves you.  That just about says it all. - Terri

-----------

Jenny thinks everyone is great.  Thanks for treating her so kindly. - Jessie 

-----------

I am very happy.  Will is very happy.  We both are very HAPPY! - Celeste

-----------

Daisy and I are both very pleased with her experience there...though we are not there often, the employees are always friendly and remember us each time...the hours are great. – Marty

-----------

We only have great things to say about your service. Rick, Ariel and I are very happy with it. The hours are convenient, the staff is great and very helpful and Ariel always has a lot of fun. – Lisa

-----------

Our feedback (mine as well as Linus') is how much we love your service.  I have recommended it to several friends and I know they have been pleased as well. Thank YOU! – Hope

Service is excellent in all areas, thanks – Derek

Deuce loves everything and everybody at Doug’s - Francine

I am so happy to have found you guys.  You make my life so much easier and it is great seeing your staff's smiling faces each week. – Autumn’s Mom

Sue, Madison and I really love that you treat her well, know her well
and can report on how she's doing.  we feel like we belong to an extended
family.  Thanks for all you do. – Patricia

-----------

We love your service.  It is always a positive experience for us and Shelby loves playing with the other dogs! - Laura

-----------

The service is great.  It is close by and easy to get to...We love the convenience... Pierce loves the play!  Everyone is so great... I have to admit when you got Pierce from me (basically from my car) the other morning when it was so bitterly cold I was thinking this is awesome... We have doggie daycare drive-thru!  Plus, Pierce seems to really like everyone at Doug's!  Thanks – Carrie

A few of our clients that have been with us for years are saying…

 

"Doug The Dog Man services has provided us with peace of mind while we are at work" said Janice Dolan, Doug The Dog Man client. "The doggie day care services gives our active chocolate Labrador retriever, Jazmin, a safe and fun environment to have her exercise"

 

"Doug Antuna (Doug The Dog Man) is simply fabulous. He has been taking care of our dog Darcy since he was a few weeks old, with his ride-along service. My children never had better "day care"! Darcy has become perfectly socialized through the interaction and play with the other dogs. When we had any training or obedience problem, Doug helped us to correct him. Needless to say, Darcy adores Doug and always anticipates his arrival. This is a very, very special and unusual service for the lucky ones. (I would be happy to provide a personal reference.)" Sonia, Greenwich, CT

 

"Since using Doug's services, there has been a dramatic change in my dogs' behavior. He has enabled me to control my dogs. Time spent with them is more enjoyable now. Because of Doug's exceptional training skills, all of us are much happier now." Amy DeAngelis Bridgeport, CT

 

"… Doug possesses all of the qualities I would want in an individual caring for my dogs. In the six years we have worked together, He has never canceled or missed a session. The dogs absolutely adore him and eagerly run out the door to go with him - even when I am at home! They love their hiking trips with all their other dog friends and they return tired and well exercised - very important for two rambunctious dogs!!! … Doug is a kind and wonderful person with plenty of energy to match his canine friends. He has been an incredible addition to our lives and I don't know what we would do without him. " Kathleen, Greenwich, CT
