Diesel (our pup) and us love Club Pooche!!! Everyone has been wonderful in making Diesel get comfortable coming. He loves the staff and all his furry friends!! Thank you all for being so caring and loving

My dog loves this place. He goes in happy and come out happy and that makes me happy. They come and get your dog from the car and bring them back to your car when finished. Great service!!

I called to make an appointment to board my dog on Sunday into Monday (Memorial Day) as Sunday was my wedding day. The receptionist wanted me to bring my dog in for a free consultation day to make sure she got along well with the others prior to the appointment. I dropped her off earlier in the week and she seemed to get great treatment that day with no issues. When I picked her up in the evening, I asked the receptionist about bringing her back on Sunday expecting to make an appointment as that’s the whole reason I reached out. I was told I could bring her in same day and no further action was taken at that time. Even on the paperwork, it states that no appointment is necessary for drop offs. In the future if somebody asks, don’t be lazy and just make the appointment on the spot if that’s apparently what’s needed. When I get there, the guy who opened the door stated that they don’t have any available pick ups for the next day and it couldn’t happen because I didn’t pay prior? The only way we could make that happen is if they boarded her an extra day and I pick her up on Tuesday in addition to paying an extra ~$70.00. I understand that Monday is Memorial Day but where was the disclaimer from the beginning when this was originally brought up? I’m very displeased with the lack of communication here. My advise is to address every little concern you may have with your drop off because you may not get the vital information that should be shared with the customer.

Ray is an excellent trainer -- super patient, kind and you can tell he really cares about the dogs. We are looking forward to bringing our dog back for the next level of training with Ray!

Our dog comes home happy and is making new friends.

Wonderful doggie day care! Very clean and nice facility, and the staff is great!! My dogs love everyone there, and are quite happy when they come home. Plus the report cards are so fun :)

Beau has only spent two.days at the Club so I can only say so much. But the second day, when staff came to pick him up at the car, he was wagging his tail like crazy. That tells me a lot! Even the first day, before I could call in to tell them I’d arrived to take Beau home, they had spotted me and gone to get Beau to bring him out. They had only met me that morning! The physical place is carefully thought out, very well equipped, clean, and attended by staff. I feel good and confident bringing Beau for days with his puppy friends!

If I could give this trainer a zero I would because she doesn’t deserve a 1 star rating. The worst trainer ever! Elisa is the owner and the trainer. She talks down to her customers and is completely unprofessional. During our personal training session she scared my puppy who was already nervous being in a new place. She spent the entire hour talking about how she is a great trainer and how everything I taught my puppy so far was wrong. Then she refused to give me a refund for wasting my time and charging me $130 for her criticism and attitude. Don’t waste your money.In response to the owner:Elisa’s statements in response to my review are simply untrue. She did not offer to end the session early to avoid being charged. The only place my puppy ever felt so uncomfortable was with Elisa in Club Pooch. Elisa’s rude demeanor and inability to make the puppy feel comfortable around her is what made my puppy nervous. He loves and greets people just fine everywhere we go. I’d certainly not recommend leaving your puppy there.

They love our dog, Biddle. We Appreciate the Awesome customer service too.

Club Pooche changed our lives! Bowie was struggling when we adopted him and other trainers werent a good fit. As soon as we took Bowie to Club Pooche for day care and training, he became more trusting, confident, and happy. All the staff is outstanding and very good with all the dogs. Elisa cares about the dogs and has gone out of her way to accomodate our requests and Bowies needs. A+

Buddy loves going there! Professional, clean, super friendly staff.

Our Roux is SO very HAPPY at Club Pooche - and we feel so at ease having him in good hands! Very responsible staff, and fun too!

Super helpful with our new pup! It’s like day and night with him. The owner, the trainers and staff are so helpful and kind. They impressively know the names of all the dogs that show up in the AM for drop off, their facility is exceptionally clean and we’re so happy our pup gets the care and attention he needs every day in puppy kindergarten! :)

We love taking our little Rosie to Club Pooch. It is a great environment for her to play with her puppy mates and use up some energy and learn pack behavior. Plus gives us a little break. Thanks everyone for caring. 😀

As a pet owner, our pets are members of our family. My husband and I count ourselves blessed to have a jewel like Club Pooche in our communty & available to us. From the moment we walked in the door with our 10/week old pup, we felt welcomed.The Owner & Staff are so amazing! They are passionate about serving and taking outstanding care of all of the Dogs. Our puppy cant wait to go inside. From the very first visit ,we could see positive improvements in our puppy socialization.If you are looking for a very clean place for your pet; with staff who you can trust and who are warm & caring, professionals. Club Pooche is that place!

The absolute best place!!! Professional, knowledgeable, great communication, and our Rottweiler puppy loves the staff and the environment! Facility is phenomenal and perfect for all sizes and ages of dogs. Even with the new CDC rules and Maryland guidelines, they were very welcoming and able to show us the entire facility. Recommend Club Pooche over other known Doggy Daycare & Training places!

What a great experience my dog Kevin is having at Club Pooche daycare! The staff is top notch and the facility is perfect for my highly energetic guy. It’s a comfort to know he’s in great hands during the day, playing with other dogs and being so loved. Highly recommend!!!!!

We enrolled our puppy in training and the experience has been amazing. Greg did an amazing job working with our puppy and he is now excellent on a leash, will stay until we release him to eat, and understands and responds to place. I would recommend Club Pooche, you will not be sorry.

They loved our puppy as much as we did.

Sophie has a great time at club pooche. She’s always excited to go inside and is exhausted at pickup because she played so much with her friends. Club pooche is clean and the staff are so nice and always happy to greet Sophie. When we started, Elisa gave me frequent updates about how Sophie was liking the new environment. Wonderful place for dogs!

Excellent customer service and facility. Loved the staff. Grooming services were good. A little expensive but I would still board here again without hesitation.

Our pup loves going to Club Pooche. She gets so excited when I drop her off. The staff is fantastic and it has been the best decision that we have made for her.

My dog loves Club Pooche! He comes home a pooped pup too!

The staff are all friendly and you can tell that they love what they do. As a new puppy parent I feel confident when I leave her in their care especially when shes excited to go back.

My dog loves Club Pooche day care. He went to the puppy kindergarten where he learned basic obedience and commands. He continues going to day care several times a week and comes home happy and exhausted. Ray, the trainer, is wonderful and constantly reinforces Pippin’s good behavior. He’s calm, firm and patient and really seems to understand each dog and it’s owner. Elisa, the owner, really cares about making Club Pooche a safe place for your dog. She is very knowledgeable about dogs and their temperament and quite helpful. All of the staff really care about the dogs in their care. It’s all very reasonable. I paid more for one hour of training than I do for a whole day at Club Pooche where Pippin’s training is constantly reinforced. I can’t recommend Club Pooche enough! It’s a dog’s happy place.

Very clean place, staff is great, owner is very knowledgeable and helped me with any questions I had. The training program is amazing, very pleased! Not to mention the Spa Packages they offered, were perfect for my pup! Love how the dogs are so well loved and cared for, which really put my mind at ease. I highly recommend!!! Also I loved the fact they give you a free playday on your first day. My pup had a blast! And Im a protective mama bear, so knowing they also have a security tag system really made me feel better, in knowing my furbaby will be safe and secure! Great job guys!!!

We are loving Club Pooche!! Our puppy, Mia, just started doing daycare/training/boarding at CP, and we are already seeing such a positive difference in her. She is far more comfortable around strangers and dogs already and shes only been going for a week. CP is perfect for socializing a young puppy! Also, since she has a schedule at daycare of play and nap time equally, she is adequately worn out and sleeping through the whole night already, but shes getting enough nap time there too! We are so happy with how CP has impacted Mias development already and we cant wait to keep sending her!

Absolutely love this place. Elisa and her staff are so attentive and caring. Our puppy didnt even want to come home because she had so much fun at daycare! We also worked with Elisa with training our dog on the leash. She solved our problems in just one session! Walks are no longer a frustrating endeavor.

Club Pooche takes excellent care of my pup. I really like their responsiveness and professionalism. Even during Covid pandemic they are maintaining same or better level of care for the pets, its really commendable

Chewy has a great time. They seem nice too

We love Club Pooche, and so do our dogs! Over 10 years, we’ve had Labs, and now Terriers who have had so much fun at Club Pooche. We feel really comfortable when boarding them there when we need to go away because we know there is a human there to love and care for the dogs overnight. 🐶❤️💕

Milkshake (yellow lab) loves going here for a fun day of camp, and we also board him here when we need to be out of town. The staff are always friendly and helpful. Definitely a great place for your dog.

Puppy training is great!

When we rescued our dog, he had a lot of timidity issues about meeting other dogs and new people. After taking him to Club Pooche for training and dog socialization, he is a new dog!!! He loves the staff and actually leaps out of the car on daycare days. When we go on vacation, we are happy boarding him there, since we know he is in excellent care with 24-hour on-site supervision. The new daily report card is a great addition and lets us know when he makes a new friend.The staff at the Club Pooche are very passionate about what they do and have provided valuable guidance for adding a new dog to our family. I recommend them to all of my friends and family!!!

. Very clean and the staff are great ! They treat your dog like their own. Club Pooche offers seminars occasionally which are very informative and helpful. My dog comes home happy and tired after a long day of playing.

Club pooche has been delightful for our puppy and our family in every way. From play times, to training, to day care and boarding, we have always been thrilled with the care our puppy has received there over the past two years. The handlers clearly love our puppy and the rest of the dogs. The facility is impeccably clean. Elisa and Ray, the trainers, are exceptionally careing, knowledgeable, and effective. I drove twenty minutes out of my way to take Ruby to Club Pooche and After trying both private boarding and other facilities- I know Club Pooche is worth the drive.

I love Club Pooche for my dogs . They get great exercise and socialization with other dogs in a structured environment. We love reading their report cards fro each day . My dogs are always very excited to arrive for daycare . It is also a comfort when boarding them that they know where they are.

Ive been taking my dog to Club Pooche for almost 4 years and the quality of care there has been high. My family had been taking their dog there before for boarding and daycare, and referred me to them when I got a dog of my own. Not only do they greet my dog and me with a smile, but they know his name, love to see him, and even come out to my car to get him for his day at daycare!The bond that the staff there and Elisa the owner, has with their clients and dogs is heart-warming. When I know I have to board my dog, knowing that there is an over-night caretaker there makes me feel comfortable and at ease. I know my dog is having cuddles and love just as Id give him in my own home. I have also taken my dog there for training, and the plethora of knowledge that Elisa and her staff has to handle different dogs of different backgrounds is amazing. I know that every day my dog is being trained as well as playing with the dogs he loves. Club Pooche is not just your typical chain Dog-Daycare center, they have pioneered the way for these places and the personal care and attention makes me know my dog is in great hands.

Club Pooche is great. My Gunther loves going there. The staff is friendly and care for the dogs. Gunther looks forward to going to Daycare. I highly recommend the club!!

Club Pooche is not only the best place if you are a dog but the best place to take your dog if you are a dog lover! The staff there is incredibly knowledgeable and loving. This is one place where the staff may truly love your dog as much as you do.My two Australian Shepherds have been going to Club Pooche since they were puppies. They both love it and cant wait to get out of the house and head to Day Care in the mornings. The enthusiasm in which the staff meets each and every dog is amazing. Every time Ive picked up my boys from school, I get a verbal report of how their day was down to who ate or didnt eat all their dinner!! This place is run better than a child care facility!!Not only is the staff incredible but the facility is spotless. I mean spotless!! You will never smell a doggie odor, the floors are spotless all the time!! The owner has invested a tremendous amount of money to install an air cleaning system akin to what you might find at NASA or a computer clean room.We love this place and my boys come home happy and exhausted!!!

We are so happy with Club Pooche! The entire staff has been amazing. Our dog has increased in socialization since going by leaps and bounds. Our highest recommendation!

It is so apparent that the Club Pooche team loves what the do

They provide my dog with a safe and fun place when I need to travel. She has a blast and comes home happy and exhausted. I highly recommend Club Pooche.

Love this place and so does Loki!!! Our energetic, crazy puppy comes home and becomes the mushy puppy we love! The people there are awesome as well. Elisa is amazing. When Loki first started going there, he had an incident with another puppy, and she brought it to our attention letting us know what happened when we picked him up. Its amazing that the owner addressed it immediately, and we appreciate it. Dogs can be dogs. Not all owners will be honest with you.

I have known Elisa for almost two years. I have worked with her professionally and seen how she operates Club Pooche; from this, I have had the opportunity to get to know her personally as well. She has an amazing love and passion for what she does. The dogs health and well-being and happiness are truly her priority. Not only does the center have amazing staff and a comfortable atmosphere, but also Elisa should be commended for the tremendous detail that is evident in the customer experience for both pets and their owners. I would recommend Club Pooche to anyone looking for a caring and healthy environment for their special canine companion.

Club Pooche is a really wonderful place. I’ve brought my big energetic dog to serveral different facilities for both daycare and boarding and none really compare at all - the staff at Club Pooche are quick to get to know you and your dog and are very caring. The owner, Elisa, is so knowledgeable and certainly runs a great place - it is clean, inviting, and the dogs have a great time. I highly recommend this place both for daycare and for overnight boarding. My dog recommends it too, and is dictating this part of the review (he can’t type). Also big shout out to Ray, always meets us at the car and gets a huge tail wag, he’s great.

What a wonderful business. My dog is so happy at club pooche and we love boarding her there. She always comes home happy and tired.

Ive been using Club Pooche for over one and a half years now and I am so happy I found them and gave them a try! This is a great place for your dog to have a happy, fun, play-filled day, in the care of a dog-loving staff. (I had been using another doggie day care that was becoming more and more difficult to use; and I also discovered that the dogs spend more time kenneled than playing).Back to C.P. .... The first time I stepped through their doors and said I was there to find out about them, the friendly young woman at the desk immediately offered to give me a tour. I found a large, well equipped, clean facility, with indoor and outdoor play areas. The staff are friendly, helpful and they genuinely like the dogs in their care. They often come out to the car to get your dog for you. At the end of the day you can ask them how your dog did that day and they always have a personal tidbit to tell you - often they have a daily report card to give you.The owner is frequently on site, which I like. She knows and takes interest in each dog and their people. She really cares about the dogs.I like that the dogs get a lot of free, loose, playtime - starting at 9:00 and playing till 4:00, with a mid-day down time.I use them from time to time for boarding, too - and in that instance I know my dog is well cared for 24 hours a day!

Great daycare for our dog. She comes home nicely tired.

Club Pooche was recommended to me by a former employee (of CP) who had also worked at other dog daycare and boarding companies. We had tried another company and our dog did not like going into the building and she wasnt tired when she came home. At Club Pooche, she is happy to enter the building, she greets all of the employees that she can find, and she is exhausted when we get home!We went on a last-minute trip and needed to board our dog for her first time ever so we took her to Club Pooche for a few days of daycare and then left her there for a week. She was happy to see us upon our return but she was also happy to go back a week later for daycare!When we pick her up in the afternoon, we receive a report of who she played with and any anomalies in her behavior.When we took her for her first day evaluation, the employees were able to tell us which groups they tried her with and how she behaved with each. They really paid attention to our dogs needs to put her in the right place to have the most fun.We wish we could afford to take her there every day! Im sure shed love that :-)Update: Last summer (2019), she boarded at Club Pooche for *15* days/nights and was still happy to go back for daycare a few days after we returned from our trip! She still loves it there and we love knowing that shes getting great exercise and socialization when we cant provide that for her because of our schedule.

Our dog has been having a wonderful experience at Club Pooche thanks in large part to the attentitive staff that genuinely enjoy caring for all the dogs. The facility is very clean with plenty of space for our pup to get exercise and have fun with his buddies. Owner Elisa is always available for advice and her love for dogs is abundantly clear at Club Pooche.

Clean and safe place to drop off your fur baby for a day of play and exercise. our dog enjoy going here.

Coopers loves going to Club Pooche! The staff is very friendly and it’s close location to North Columbia/Ellicott City area makes it convenient.

The facilities are nice, but payment policies are not. They will keep your money if you have to make a cancellation. They do not offer you to reschedule. This should not be a surprise since you do need to sign all the terms in advance, but its the main reason I will not be returning. You dont even pay at hotels until you check in, which are also staffed.

I searched all of Howard County for a great doggy daycare and a place where we could board Pepper and not have to worry. I wanted a place where she could go, play with other quadrupeds in a safe environment and where she was loved as much as she is at home. I also wanted a place that we could board her and have total peace of mind, no matter how long she was there. When I visited Club Pooche I knew I had found the right place. Elisa, Diane and ALL the staff are outstanding. Pepper absolutely LOVES this place!! She will walk around with her Club Pooche leash in her mouth to let us know its a day to play with friends! Day care. Boarding. This IS the place! We give it 10 stars!

Club Pooche is a great place for almost any dog. With two large indoor yards that have a flushing system underneath the turf to keep it clean, it beats the competition. An outdoor yard that is fenced in and has a canopy for the hot weather is a great way for the dogs to get some vitamin D in the spring and summer. The staff is caring and passionate and the dogs are taken care of like their own. Club Pooche is the best in the area for dog daycare and boarding and I recommend it to anyone who needs someone to watch their dog while theyre away

Our 2 German Shepherds LOVE Club Pooche! They are always very excited to visit on doggie daycare days. The staff greets them by name when they arrive, and are consistently enthusiastic and respectful. Both dogs have received obedience training from owner Elisa, and her dedication to their success has been outstanding. Club Pooche is a hit!

For the first time in years I was able to go on vacation with my husband and actually enjoy myself. Elisa and her staff are wonderful with my babies. Just knowing someone was there 24/7 really eased my mind. I cant recommend Club Pooche enough!!!

My dog has been going here off and on for over a month now, and she seems to love it. She is very energetic and misbehaves if she doesnt get enough exercise or play time. Ever since she started going to Club Pooche, she has been much better behaved and more trainable. She listens better and sleeps through the night (which was a problem previously). We had given other places a try, but this place is much cleaner and they give you the personal attention that you would come to expect.To the person below who claims, They killed my puppy. Dont be ridiculous. Of all the doggy day cares that my wife and I have visited, this is the cleanest, safest and most friendly of them all, BY FAR. You should have no qualms leaving your puppy/dog in their care. They are simply the best we have encountered.

I LOVE Club Pooche! At home my dog Suki exhibits some anxiety and aggressive behavior but thanks to the staff at Club Pooche, Suki has a safe place to play and connect with other dogs, with no sign of any aggression or anxiety! It is so comforting to know that Club Pooche is here and I can give my dog the gift of a safe place to play be herself! Thanks so much to the wonderful staff at Club Pooche!!!!

My dogs have been going to Club Pooche for years! They love all the time theyve spent there. And I always know theyre in good hands! They do such a good job caring for the dogs! They loved their time at puppy kindergarten and they learned so much! I would definitely recommend Club Pooche for your dogs too!

As a pet parent who is as selective about the care my dog receives as people are with their two legged children, I can honestly say there is not a boarding/day care facility around that does near as good a job as Club Pooche. From the air filtration system that leaves the place smelling fresh and chemical free, to knowing that someone is on site 24/7, I can leave my dog and have peace of mind knowing that my dog is receiving the very best care available. Its scary leaving your dog with someone whether its for a few hours or a week, but knowing that the caregivers at Club Pooche are held to a high standard makes me feel better. They even go through fire drills to make sure in the case of something terrible, they are prepared to handle the situation. My dog gets a lot of individual attention while there and is played with, pet and gets belly rubs. She is never stressed going there and is relaxed and happy when I arrive to take her home. Their care is second to none. If you are in the market for daycare/boarding or training in Columbia, be sure to check them out.

We entrusted our girl, Flynn, to Elisa for 3 days of training in Virginia and when she came home today we were amazed at the way she obeyed the command to come every time she was called! Elisa is a wonderful person and a very talented dog trainer!!! Thank you so much for your dedication and love for dogs! We are delighted with the results!

Amazing attention to detail. Very clean and my dog was well cared for at ClubPooche! I definitely feel secure leaving my baby in very capable hands!

First let me tell you that I used to work here about 3 years ago. I had worked other doggy daycare places before so I have experience with dogs and daycare facilities. About the facility itself: I have to say that I have never cleaned as hard as I have in my entire life like when I did when I worked at Club Pooche. We made sure the yards were power washed and then we sucked up all the extra water so it never smelled, we scrubbed the floors around the yards to make sure any dirt tracked in never lingered around, the villas were wiped down with disinfecting wipes, the blankets and soft bedding were washed daily, the plastic bed were wiped down so they were clean as well! This facility is kept spotless, smelling good AND germ free which is something to really take into consideration since there are all sorts of different bacteria that can get your dogs sick when you take them to daycares and boarding facilities! About the staff: Diane has been there FOREVER and knows her stuff. Ask her anything dog related and she can tell you. She knows the company inside and out and is a great reference! We recently ran into each other this summer at a dog event so I know she is still there! There is always an overnight caretaker who watches over the dogs, makes sure they are given their medication at all hours of the night, and is there to let out your furry family members first thing in the morning. During the day there is usually one person in each yard watching over your dogs as they play. There are balls and plastic stairs and steps they can run up and down. (all this stuff is clean as well). The staff rotates the dogs inside and outside so they can do their business without teaching them to go indoors (which is pretty great if you ask me!). Outside the staff throws the ball and continues to interact with your pups. Mrs. Elisa, the owner of Club Pooche, is fantastic! She is certified in training, has been breeding for years, and has plenty of business experience as she was a dog walker before she opened up Club Pooche. She has worked with all sorts of dogs big and small, stubborn or easy going it doesnt matter! She knows dogs like the palm of her hand. in other reviews people mentioned she comes off like she knows everything, I would like to say she may come off a little assertive but she is just eager to help you in any way that she can, she wants you and your dogs to be happy and comfortable here! I would rather have a person passionate about the well being of my pet then an owner that doesnt care about my dog and only worries about money (I have worked in places like that *cough* Prestons Country Club *cough*) Since I left (the only reason I left was because my class schedule no longer allowed me to work) I have continue to send people to Club Pooche. I just sent my boss here the other month with his dog and he and his wife loved it! I highly recommend coming here if you want your dog taken care of and looked after. I guarantee that your pup will come home happy and tired from a long day of play :)

Club Pooche is a very clean, welcoming place for all dogs. The indoor yards give the dogs room to play while still having outside space. Workers are passionate about dogs and the way they are taken care of.

I have taken my dog for doggie day care twice and each time was an excellent experience. The price is competitive compare to other nearby locations and for that my pup gets to play all day with people that live and breath dogs. The owner is also very kind and the staff recognized me and my dog after just one visit. On pick-up the day of our first visit, I was able to see the facility and I was pleasantly surprised by what I didnt observe- no gross dog smell, no tumbleweeds of dog fur or piles of you-know-what. The place was clean and the dogs who were still there were having so much fun playing! My dog is going back tomorrow!

I just picked up my pup from Club Pooche, again, and, as usual, she is so happy and tired! Elisa, Warren and their staff are knowledgeable, attentive and sensitive to my concerns. I have a crazy schedule and it is invaluable to me to be able to drop my pup off at Club Pooche knowing she is well cared for and supervised at all times. Elisa never ceases to amaze me with her unlimited energy, broad knowledge base and her genuine care and concern for all animals. I dont know who that crazy person is that commented about Club Pooche killing their dog or Club Pooche owing 1000$ for temperament testing. Elisa did our temperament test for free (as is her standard policy) and I have the perfect pup for our family thanks to her. I would highly recommend Club Pooche to anyone looking for a clean, well run daycare/ boarding facility where the staff loves their job, accommodates their clients, and takes exceptional care of every dog! Thank you Club Pooche!

I first met Elisa as a result of boarding our lab Bailey with her when she provided boarding service out of her home. From the very beginning I was very impressed by the dedicated way she went about providing for all the dogs left in her care.Well here we are some 14 years, another lab (Oakley) and 2 papillions later(Lexie & Diesel) and Elisa is still providing high quality boarding and day care service except it is at Club Pooche which is a wonderfully designed, spacious, clean, state-of- the-art facility.Thanks Elisa, for making life so much better for both us and our pets.Glenn Fischer

Great place. I take both my dogs there for daycare and boarding when necessary. Great staff and the owner is very involved. They know all the dogs by name.

I have been taking my dogs to Club Pooche for more than 5 years, for training, daycare and boarding. They have been trained by Ms Elisa and Ray. My dogs love going to Club Pooche. The staff is wonderful and take great care of my dogs when Im away. One of the reason I selected Club Pooch (and I tried plenty of other places) was the cleanliness of the facility and they keep their daycare numbers to a manageable number of dogs per handler. They have an OVERNIGHT care giver and an evacuation plan in case of a emergency. Everything that Ms Elisa does is for the benefit and protection of the dogs in her care. There are rules for a reason and if you have any issue with them, then Club Pooche isnt the place for you. Every business isnt perfect but Club Pooche is top notch. I realize with COVID everyone is on edge and most business are feeling the pinch with a limited work force, so please be kind, they show up and work hard for your furbabies.

We took our dog, Bowie, to Club Pooche after he was “invited to leave” another doggie day care/training facility in the area. We didn’t see it coming, were given no warning and didn’t know what we were going to do. We called Club Pooche (it had been recommended to us) and got a call back from Elisa, the owner. She immediately made us feel at ease, we felt listened to and she understood what we needed for Bowie. We set up a training for the following week. That was in November. We noticed a difference almost immediately. We made the changes suggested by Elisa, set up rules and boundaries for Bowie and reinforced what we learned on a daily basis. Recently, he completed an intensive 3-week course with the amazing trainer, Ray, and the improvements are astounding! He’s confident, loose-leash walks, auto-sits (even when he’s wagging and wiggling his whole body), and is more affectionate. The training has been a life-saver and we’re ALL happier for it. Day care is great as all of the staff is amazing and he gets a daily report card detailing: his mood, who he played with and how he played. They all reinforce his training as soon as he enters the facility. Every single person who works at Club Pooche is kind, professional and attentive. We’ve boarded Bowie at Club Pooche as well and we like that they have staff on hand overnight. Their prices are competitive for training, boarding and day care. We do wish they didn’t up-charge for credit cards and they don’t take Amex. A LOT of time, energy and money was wasted at the other facility. Our only regret is that we didn’t discover Club Pooche in the beginning!

Club Pooche is the only place In Columbia that I would bring my precious pupper. The staff is attentive, caring and well managed. I am always at ease when my pup is at Club Pooche and he is always happy and well exercised when I pick him up. I’ve been to other doggie daycare/boarding facilities and Club Pooche is head and shoulders above the rest!

We love Club Pooche!! Our puppy has felt at home since the first day we dropped him off....the staff and owners are very attentive and caring!! Now we can go on vacation and feel confident about the care of our muffin !! Thanks !

Clean place friendly staff and great dog environment. I feel good about boarding our lab here

Club pooche offers a balanced amount of activity and rest. The staff is attentive to the dogs, and helpful during check-in and pick up.

Excellent services in a very clean environment, knowledgeable and very caring staff! Love this place!

Our pooch loves Club Pooche!

The staff is extremely friendly and great with our dog. I highly recommend Club Pooche for doggie daycare and boarding.

Clean new facility, great care, honest and well worth it.The Pooche Birthday Party is definitely two paws up and tail waggin good!

Awesome staff, clean facilities, and the peace of mind that your dog is safe and happy!

The staff was great with our dog. The owner, however, is terrible to deal with on any level. She took my payment for a 10 day package and then made some wild accusations that our dog destroyed a wall and he chewed through a chainlink fence (really?!). She banned our dog from coming back and kept my payment. I repeatedly contacted her for a reimbursement and she ignored my msgs. If you are considering this place to take your dog for a fun day, then I would recommend that you find a differnt place. The only reason I chose 1 Star is for the staff. The owner gets a big fat ZERO!

Our dogs have been going to Club Pooche for 3 years now and we do not know what we would do without Elisa and her team. We have 2 totally different dogs that each need something different and the Club Pooche team knows how to handle each of their different personalities and needs. The dogs have a fantastic time and are so excited to go to Doggie Daycare. When they get home, they are exhausted and quick to fall asleep. On their home days, they are much calmer and more relaxed. I trust Elisa and her team above any other of the daycares in the region, they have more experience and are very well versed in dog care. They are always up to date on the latest care, training and nutrition for dogs and can speak to anyone about behavior issues as well. I highly recommend Club Pooche for anyone needing doggie daycare, boarding, training, etc. They certainly are the best in Howard County, MD!*As far as some of the negative reviews below I have this to say about the comments:Elisa is a wonderful person and she treats every client with respect, I have had many talks with her and find her to be very opened minded and good with advice.All doggies day cares screen potential clients because they need to make sure each dog is a good fit, which makes sense. You would not want a super aggressive dog in the general population that could cause a problem or hurt another dog.As for the puppy death, I find this allegation very hard to believe. Elisa and her team are very good about making sure all dogs have proper vaccinations and are kept in their respective groups (big dogs/little dogs). Should any issues occur, we are notified immediately of the problem, even if it involves a call while at work.

I have gotten to know the owner of this great business, and I must say they do an exceptional job with the animals. Your never going to please everyone but I know they run this business as well as anyone else.

Kratos loves this place!

Ur dogs arent tired is because all they do is sit in a square all day and ten minutes yard time,also if ur wondering why ur dogs r wet is because the carpet they lay on is constantly wet to the touch,and they get put up two hours b for pick up time

We had been taking our Havanese puppy to a different doggie daycare in the Ellicott City area for a couple of weeks. While the place was okay, we felt that their focus was more on the bigger breeds and we felt that our puppy could be getting a better experience and we could be getting more for our money! After a few days in a row of coming home just reeking of assorted odors, sticking to the floor, and having to bathe him just about every night, we decided it was time for a change.Enter... Elisa and the WONDERFUL folks at Club Pooche. When we toured the facility, we were astounded at HOW different a Doggie Day Care place could be. NIGHT AND DAY! The Club never smells rank, is VERY well lit, impeccably clean, well run and YES dogs get a little messy sometimes but never to the point of making us nauseated on the ride home! My wife and I were delighted because we were soon to receive ANOTHER Havanese puppy into our home, our males littermate and sister!We are signed up for Puppy Kindergarten which is, essentially, Doggie Day Care with just enough training to get pups at least thinking about taking some simple commands but, more importantly, gets them happy and socialized in an appropriate SMALL BREED environment (they are only put together with dogs of similar stature).I cant say enough nice things about the staff at Club Pooche! Everyone who works there really seems to dig being there and are completely representing the love, care, and schmarts that Elisa has put into this wonderful business. Yes, I said business because as much as some folks like to lay on the whole we are like your extended family, yatta yatta, when I take MY pets to a Doggie Day Care, dang skippy I want that to be run LIKE A BUSINESS! At the same time that I say that, the folks on staff are so loving of the dogs from the moment they RUN to the front door to start the day at The Club (I just think its funny to say The Club) until they are ready to go home after a full day. The staff know YOUR name, your dogs name and its refreshing to be greeted with a big smile and a respectful attitude.Elisa and everyone there have been a great help whenever we have needed advice now and again on raising happy pups. When we had some issues with our female not being very interested in eating, we were given some GREAT advice on some techniques that really helped us out and got the dogs eating again.There is also a nice little shop in the reception area that I wouldnt call a Pet Shop, but its a dog specialty shop that sells unique and noteworthy items of interest from VERY high quality leads and leashes to Fromms dog food.OK, am I over the top? Yes. Sorry, but we are delighted with the experience at Club Pooche and would HIGHLY recommend to a friend.

Fanastic place for my dogs

Nice facility and friendly employees.

Simplely the best!

My puppy is very excited everytime we pull up for daycare drop off. He comes home exhausted after a day of playing with his friends. The facility is very clean, has a very large indoor play space, and all the employees are a pleasure to work with.
