GardeGriffes

Our lab puppy Morrigan had a lot of confidence…too much confidence. She was also jumping up on people and furniture, especially if food was involved. If it wasn’t for Vanessa and Frank’s puppy training program I truly don’t think Morrigan would be the sweet dog she is today. Vanessa and Frank have an innate ability to understand dog language and with the power of their hand picked pack, puppies quickly learn what is acceptable and what is not. Thanks to the program, I enjoy every walk with Morrigan knowing she is not going to react to any other dogs we meet on the trail or jump up on people. Her basic commands are on point and her recall hasn’t let us down yet (even when squirrels and food were readily available as distractions)! The videos that Frank and Vanessa shared while training her allowed our family to understand the vocabulary to use with Morrigan as well as that all important timing. This is the only training, groomer and daycare we would recommend. If more puppies came for training at Garde Griffe we wouldn’t hear so many dog owners warning us away because their dogs have not been socialized properly. We can’t thank Vanessa and Frank enough for imparting their knowledge and caring for Morrigan like she is one of their own. We have a really fantastic dog that our whole family enjoys spending time with and that is all thanks to the training and love she receives at Garde Griffes!

GardeGriffes is the only place we want to leave our dogs, we haven’t found another daycare quite like it. Frank and Vanessa are so amazing and they give all of the dogs so much love and attention! They also read dog behavior so well and know who is going to be a good match energywise.

The dogs get to roam and sleep freely inside without crates and they have a backyard to play in on top of multiple nature walks around the area during the day. So many fun activities, they’re absolutely pooped when we get them back!

We love the instagram story updates so we can see what they’ve been up to that day and they shared us on an album of amazing photos of our dogs! It’s very comforting to know they’re in great hands and part of the pack! We know that when our dogs are running in their sleep they’re dreaming about going back!

I reached out to Gardegriffes for their daycare services last minute for our two puppies. Frank was able to accommodate us and took amazing care of them! I was nervous as this was their first visit but could see what they were up to through their stories. Frank was really nice to work with! Overall, we’re happy we found Gardegriffes and would definitely use their services again :)

My dog Rambo was full of hot spots and desperately needed grooming. That was our first visit to Gardegriffes and all we saw was LOVE & RESPECT for the dogs and their owners!! Thanks to uncle Frank & Auntie Vanessa, pups were happy and relaxed! The harmony between all sizes of dogs was impressive! Everyone looked joyful and happy to be in that SAFE , FUN environment! THANK YOU for the EXCELLENT SERVICE!
Congratulations for your professional services!
Much LOVE👌🏼♥

This place is like a second home for our dog!!! We bring Lexi for daycare as well as overnight stays and I always leave her with a good feeling. Completely crate-free environment where the dogs can enjoy a pieceful stay. When Lexi is with Vanessa I never worry about her because I know that she had a fantastic time (documented by a ton of videos ;)) and comes home happy. Bonus: I get really cool photographer quality pics sent to me all the time. 100% recommend!!!!!

GardeGriffes is hands-down the best doggy daycare. Zenda my girl, stayed with them for 10 days and I never had to worry! She was taken care of with lots of love and tons of fun times. Thank you again soooo much! She will be back as she misses you guys already!

Great service for grooming my nervous pup. He still didn’t love it but they did get the matts out of his thick coat which we never thought would happen. Pup did love the doggy day care though!!! Thanks so much to the oh so patient Vanessa. Highly recommend

We absolutely love taking our fur baby here! Vanessa and Frank are so lovely, very knowledgable and most importantly truth worthy. They truly care for your pet and it shows! We are so lucky to have found them, we highly recommend them to anyone with a fur baby.

GardeGriffes is the best doggy day care in the area! We sent our 2 year old golden retriever there and she loved it. She is a shy girl and they took such good care of her all day long. They gave her extra cuddles to make her feel welcomed and loved. They post stories on Instagram all day so you can see what your pup is up to and they also send you pics in google photos at the end of the day. They go to many dog parks and go for walks! Their daycare is home style and the dogs are never in crates. I would recommend this doggy daycare to everyone!

These guys are great! They love dogs and always take excellent care of our lab, Maddox. When our flight got delayed, they were super flexible and accommodating. I would recommend these guys for any dog as your pet will be loved and cared for just as they are at home! I tell all my friends with dogs about them and can not recommend them enough!

GardeGriffes is such an amazing doggy daycare! We always know our little Reggie is in great hands with Frank, Vanessa and all his pup friends. It is so reassuring to watch how much fun, how much exercise and how many cuddles Reggie gets all day through their stories on social media. Highly recommend!!

Jeffers is one of the original clients of GardeGriffes and just loves Frank and Vanessa. He is clearly happy to be a part of the pack!

We have sent Jeffers for overnight stays when we vacation or for occasional emergencies, and he has always had the absolute best time - no crates, just getting to be a dog, doing dog things, with his dog pack.

Mostly though, we send Jeffers for the daycare. He gets to burn off so much more energy running off leash with the other dogs than any amount of walking on a leash with us could accomplish.

He comes home in a great mood, completely exhausted.

Thanks to the Instagram Stories, I know what he's up to, and I can see that he is having a fantastic time, and in very trusted hands.

Every once in a while, I will play an instagram story for Jeffers, and he will lose his mind trying to get to the phone just hearing Frank's voice. He loves Frank and Vanessa that much

I have not even heard of anyone else offering a comparable service.

This is a late, thankful, review. Garde Griffes were very helpful and understanding last year, when our relatives left us with a big, rambunctious, untrained Berendoodle pup while they went on vacation. We had no idea that she was so destructive, and could not be left alone in the house. We did not want to crate her. I was desperate. Garde Griffes took her in for the day and gave me a much needed rest. I could get work done in the house and get out of the house to do errands. Thank you so much!

10/10 would recommend. Daily off-leash walks in the woods, always access to outdoors, sleeping comfortably on beds and couches. Vanessa is a pro who has a good sense of dog psychology. Our dog loves it there.

An AMAZING place, the result of true labor of love! Vanessa and Frank are unbelievably engaged with The GG Pack. What dedication!

Our Lando had an overabundance of young dog energy, making it hard to believe that he could ever belong to The GG Pack, given the numerous off leash outdoor activities and free cohabitation along with a dozen other dogs.

The challenge was real and the their suggestion for a 3 week INTEGRATION PROGRAM was bang on! Lando not only loved getting off for the daycare but one could literally see his manners change week by week, both at the daycare but also at home!

Frank and Vanessa are genuine Pack Leaders recognizing every dog for their individual personalities and also balance control and freedom. You can SEE that the dogs are well cared for and HAPPY! Watching the days activities unfold on the GG Daily Story on instagram is a total smile inducing treat! Such joy to see the dogs interact and play together at the daycare, the woods, or frozen lake with Frank's constant play by play. Pure entertainment. I cannot imagine a better environment for any dog.

5 stars. Totally recommended!

I started sending my black lab Loki to GardeGriffes when he was around 8 months old (he’s almost 2 now!). He learned all his good behaviours and habits from the team at GardeGriffes and their pack of pups. I honestly owe so much of his beautiful warm personality and gentle nature to the care they gave him during his many stays with them. They truly treat your pup like he or she is apart of their family. I never have to worry when I’m away or at work that he’s receiving the same if not better care at their facility than he would at home! The best part of the experience is the amount of exercise the pups get, whether it’s a morning in the woods or afternoon in the lake, each day is a little different, and there is no shortage of fun. Lots of cuddles kisses and pets, I could not say more positive things about my experience at GardeGriffes. Thank you for treating my Loki with such loving care :).

Our pup Watson loves his days at GardeGriffes. Frank and Vanessa took put in effort to make him feel comfortable with them and to teach him how to be a member of the GG pack.

It’s so fun to watch their doggy adventures on the Instagram stories!

We love this daycare! Got 2 young puppies this summer. They had/have soo much energy. Having been an only one dog family for years we didn’t realize how much energy 2 bring. Knew we needed help after the kids returned to school. Did a lot of research before trying Garde Griffe. Aside from being very cost effective Frank and Vanessa have been a G-d send! We have never crated our animals so finding a daycare that offers crate free boarding was a must. Also because this was a first for us (trusting someone not familia with our babies) the fact that they live stream so we could see the puppies and check their day did a lot to relieve our anxieties. Over the months we have used all their services. From nature walks and boarding to grooming and photo shoots! They helped with training these pups for us. We now have really good well behaved 9 month olds and really feel it would not have happened (on a timely basis) with out Frank & Vanessa’s help. Can not say enough good things about them! Check them out yourself. Maybe you’ll get to meet our twins

My dog absolutely loves it here & doesn't want to leave with me! It's also great that when he stays I can get him groomed. And as a crazy busy single mom, this is invaluable to get everything done in one stop deal. And the grooming is top notch!

My dog is so excited when he realizes where he’s going, because it’s a vacation for him too. No crates or kennels. Just love, doggy friends, and playtime, with trips to the park, the woods, or even the water. The best part, I can see every day what Alf is up to 😊. Thank you GG for providing most excellent care!
