Our dog, Tucker has been going to Howladay for 1.5 years now. He started with a 3 week boarding/training program with Matt. The best outcome for Tucker and us. We board him there when we are away and we bring him to the day care once a week to let him goof around with other dogs. We recommend Howladay and are very happy with the staff and everyone there; and so is Tucker!

My dog Bailey loves staying here. Every time she has a visit here she goes barreling in and every time I pick her up she has a huge smile on her face. The staff and owner are all so lovely. I drive an hour and a half each way to drop my dog off before I go on trips, that’s how much we love this place.

My two boys stayed here for the day and seemed to have had a great time. The owner and staff were both accommodating and friendly. We will be using them again when needed.

This place is caring and clean and not over- crowded. They separate dogs based on size and social interactions and helped my anxious dog overcome his anxiety and socialize with other dogs safely. They are great!

Training at Howl-a-Day.
This is the last thing I want to do. But I feel compelled to write this review to save even just one person from spending way too much money on a subpar training experience.
I was quoted a price—in person by Matt, the owner—of $1400.00 for 10 training sessions. After 6 sessions, I was told that they would not be providing any more lessons because I opted not to use e-collars. I had told Matt on day one that I wasn’t sure about using e-collars on my dogs. He assured me that he could still train without the e-collars, but that it might just take a little longer to get them there.
On the day of our sixth training, his employee told me we were done, then followed me to my car to get the e-collars back. I was shocked! I reached out to Matt, upset and confused, only to be told that he would not be doing further training with us because we weren’t using e-collars.
For $1400.00 my dogs learned basic puppy-class skills: sit, down, stay, heal, and come. I could have learned this for free on YouTube, or for a fraction of the cost at a puppy training class at Pet Smart! My dogs already knew sit, come, and down before I ever took a class.
Matt has promised me a refund, but months have passed and no refund has been given. He has told me I was threatening him because I told him I felt obligated to write a review. He lied to me about what he told me on day one. He also had me sign paperwork that was not filled in at the bottom. He later used that paperwork against me after he filled it in to fit his narrative.
I questioned his integrity which really upset him. But honestly, who would pay $1400.00 with little to no results?!
My advice, and what I learned through this experience is, get everything in writing! Take pictures of everything you sign! Don’t trust blindly. And do more research. Had I asked around, I would have never gone to Matt for training. This is your sign to make a better choice for yourself, your dog, and your wallet!
He doesn’t care about you or your dog. He only cares about the money!

Our Boston Terrier, Lucy was boarded with Howl a Day for the last two weekends. She was great when we picked her up. A little tired but healthy and happy. We are happy to have Howl a Day available for day care or boarding when needed. They do a great job and take good care of pets in their care. Thank you.
