All Things Pawssible Day Care Training Center Charlottesville, Virginia

I am going to keep this short because it pains me to even write. My baby attended this daycare for a year, we moved away and upon moving back he had a major injury here. Turns out, he had a spinal cord injury. I picked him up, rushed him to the neurologist for emergent surgery and he was gone in 10 days. Ashley called me twice and then stopped calling. NOT ONE other person ever followed up with me. Appalling. I would NEVER recommend this daycare to ANYBODY. I am appalled that this is the kind of humanity who runs this place—clearly it is about the money and they could careless about the dogs…

Someone is tuckered out after her first day of daycare!

My dog loves her friends and is spoiled so wonderfully here! I never worry knowing she is in such good hands!

We have had a wonderful experience with All Things Pawssible. They are always so friendly and caring towards the dogs and seem to know them all by name! They worked closely with our nervous rescue dog to get her acclimated into daycare. We really appreciate the extra attention that they gave her and the great communication they provided to update us on her progress in class! I definitely recommend their doggy daycare!

Our Golden Retriever, Hattie, cannot WAIT for each day she spends at ATP. When we start getting close in the car she cries with excitement, and is literally smiling when it’s time to go inside. Each staff member seems to know her name, and greet her with excitement every time. She has been to other daycare centers, but we notice a difference in her excitement to show up at ATP. She even came home with a Valentine for us when she attended daycare on Valentine’s Day. They also have let us know anytime she seems to have any issues, or even when she makes a friend! We are truly grateful for ATP!

Our puppy Lucy LOVES ATP! She gets such good care there. We take her to daycare 3 days a week and we are very pleased.

My SPCA rescue has been going to All Things Pawssible for several years. When I first got her she was shy/nervous. After regular daycare she’s grown into being her true self: happy & calm. She’s also boarded here & everything was perfect. I love that they have someone on site 24/7! They love her & she loves them.

We took our puppy for training here and had such a good experience—both in classes and in a private 1:1 session—that we brought both of our dogs back for daycare. We have been so impressed with how loving, kind, and accepting the handlers and staff are of our two dogs, who have very different needs. The puppy had lots of experience at ATP already and was so excited to be back. Our nearly five year-old dog is deaf and also has anxiety, and while she struggled to get acclimated, the handlers went the extra mile to try and get her to warm up to them and she ended up having a wonderful time! It's not easy to find a place where our older dog feels safe and comfortable enough to play and engage with other pups. Thanks so much, ATP, for making daycare possible for our special needs dog!

Highly recommend Allthings Pawssible. Our pup just graduated from Puppy 101 and we are amazed how much she has improved in 6 weeks! Brittany is an awesome teacher and all the dogs love her. In addition we try to use the doggie day care once a week which is a great way for our puppy to have supervised socialization with dogs her own age. They split up the dogs (different rooms) based on age and size. They don’t use crates which was the big appeal for me. Looking forward to attending puppy 201. ????????

My dog bear gets so excited to come here, the staff is very welcoming as well.

Very sweet people. They take great care of our pups!!

My dog has been at ATP daycare for a year and a half now. We’ve also done overnight boarding and obedience classes with ATP. All have been excellent experiences! The staff is personable and looks out for the dogs. The dogs are matched with playgroups that work best for their personalities and play styles. The staff will update you with a daily report if you ask! My dog is always happy and well exercised when he returns from daycare. The staff is responsive and responsible. We love ATP!

We've tried a few other local doggy daycares and my pup loves this one the best!! The staff is wonderful and they have a full retail shop inside!! So nice to grab everything my furry guy needs in one place!!

I brought my dog here once or twice a month for almost a year. My dog has an extremely sensitive stomach and when I dropped her off for boarding, I labeled 6 bags for each meal, including meds. When picked up, the bags of dog food was still exactly where they left it, upstairs, not where the dogs go and eat their food. I asked what she was fed and they lied and said it was her food. Blatant lie when I’m staring at it. My dog had severe diarrhea, usually something that happens when her food is changed drastically. So on top of a boarding bill, I had to take her to the vet for emergency meds and pay another $200. They lost my business after lying to me and costing me another $200 to bring my dog to the vet for THEIR mistake. There are plenty of other options in town. Cleaner facilities and nicer folks.

Great staff who care about your pets. Puppy daycare is great and the option to board is always a comforting alternative when we have to travel. They also sell high quality foods and treats.

Very Knowledgeable staff. Our dogs love going to doggie day care during the week. The weekend staff, especially Raven, is super kind and my dog loves her. Highly recommended ????????????

I cannot describe how amazing this daycare is. They take the time to really know and understand the personality and quirks of every dog they take care of. They always have staff in the rooms with the dogs, and keep an eye out to make sure no dog is getting harassed. They also make sure all the dogs are not getting overheated, too cold, etc. For example I have a big old golden/black lab mix who loves to sit in the sun. We moved down from Maine this summer, and he was not dealing with the heat adjustment well. The staff at All Things Pawsible kept him safe by only letting him go outside for ~5 mins at a time when it was hot out, which is extra work for them, but they did it anyway. This is the only place I've left my dog where I have felt truly comfortable, aka not worried at all. I'd recommend contacting them for daycare, and they likely will have a waitlist, so call early. Tldr: amazing daycare & boarding, the only business I have ever completely trusted with my dog.

Used to work here the owers are extremely rude and talk to the staff and dogs any kind of way very unprofessional behind the scenes i’ve seen harsh and aggressive behavior toward some dogs i could keep going but its very unprofessional especially the owers wouldnt recommand

The place was gross. The week old hot dogs, the poo and pee on the floor and "trainer" showing up 15 minutes late, to the trying to upset us on bad meat cuts. Not that good all the way around.

I didn’t entirely feel comfortable with this place. Looks ok, but smells bad even in the lobby/living room area before going back to the kennels. Staff were not rude, but not exactly welcoming or friendly. I decided against letting my dog stay there, it’s just a feeling about this place that turned me off. I’ve rated 3 stars based on appearance/smell and experience with the staff.

This place is just magical. The staff are all friendly. I came a few moths ago with my Shorkie and Black Lab to have them assessed and they past with flying colors. The place is clean, which makes me happy. They even let me see my dogs play a little bit. One in Tater tots and one in the Big Room. This place is simply a blessing. They do their best to accommodate any dog of most any breed. So as long as my dogs come at least once a month they can board... What the shame in them having fun a couple times a month and then I can go on my business trips and even a quick vacation and they make sure that my dogs can stay and are having fun as long as there is room for them. I love the fact that there are always handlers in each play area and the handlers know all the dog by name!!! Places like this need to be praised.

Took my dog to All Things on a regular basis until he started refusing to go through the back door. I thought I saw a staff member verbally abusing a dog on my original visit and wondered if this had anything to do with my dogs anxiety to go to All Things. I have taken him to multiple other dog care facilities/farms and he couldn’t get out of the door quicker when dropping him off at those places.

Wonderful! My girl had SO much fun!! She slept well, had a blast. Staff was caring and professional.

DON"T TAKE YOUR DOG HERE! From what I saw, none of the employees are dog trainers or have been trained on dog social behaviors/indicators. They put your dog in a room with 20+ other dogs with little monitoring. Go with the other options in town! I took my puppy here on a regular basis (a couple of times a week) at the beginning. I received a phone call after 6 months saying my dog attacked a puppy. My first thought, is why is my dog in the puppy class when he's more than a year old? I found out the employees thought he was a great "role model" for the puppies and that's why they kept him in the puppy class. I asked them who was watching these interactions and how why was the decision made to keep him in the puppy class? No one could give me a straight answer and clearly no one was monitoring this situation. Puppies have no play manners. My dog now hides behind me when puppies are around and if one comes within 4 feet then he will attack them. Now we have to get private training lessons and are on the reactive side. When I discussed this issue with the owner she said, dogs just turn sometimes. I couldn't believe it! This is a social behavior issue that stemmed from her employees having a lack of education/knowledge on dog training.

**When I wrote this review, my dog was not only extremely ill, but she ended up passing away. Not only did I not get an apology from the owner, she called the cops because of my reviews on facebook and google. Stay away from this place at all costs** I should have listened to my gut feeling from all the previous reviews on here from previous customers. One, the handlers are not friendly at all. They are not courtious, they don't even smile. the only that was friendly, was the lady that did the pet interview. Second, my dog has always been healthy, more check ups in a year than is reccommended and was just checked up days before her first visit on Thursday, May 18, 2017. My dog has been to several other day care dog places around the nation as I am a Veteran of the Armed Forces so one thing that stuck out to me is very strange - ALL THINGS PAWSSIBLE does not require any documentation that a dog is up to date on shots. I asked if they needed documentation, they said no. They said if I had the time to just go online and put her due dates for shots. Well anyone can fib that up. I also didn't have the time, so proving your dog or other dogs there are up to date on shots, IS NOT REQUIRED HERE, but is at any other boarding place in the USA. What has been the outcome of my experience here, well, see the picture attached. The drive home, my dog laid down and wouldn't get up nor could in or out of my vehicle on her own. At first, I thought she was tired. Not the case. The following morning at 5am, my dog was whimpering in pain, but sitting still looking at me. I had a friend come get her and keep an eye on her all day long. She said that al day long, she laid and wouldn't move, eat, go outside etc. I picked her up Friday 5/19/17 from my friend after work and my dog could barely walk. I thought maybe heat exahustion, bc ATP only has an outside room and an inside room (that's not exactly much cooler than the temp outside). I was wrong. During the night, she wouldn't move, she didn't budge one cm on Friday night as she lays next to me in bed. This morning at 3am, I texted a friend who is a tech at a vet to come and see what she thought. My dog's temp was 105.8, way above even a high temperature. We rushed her to the vet hospital and the vet hospital ran every test you can think of, cancerious tests, ticks, etc. x rays looking for tumors, everything. Found nothing that was going on in her body. Said it could be an early stage of Kennel Cough. This dog, is not only my pet or best friend, it is a SERVICE ANIMAL, of which they are aware. My bill was way over $600. My BEST advise to you, would you really take your dog to a place that doesnt veryify if a dog is up to date on shots or could potentially have rabbies or anything? i wont, and I wont return. In fact, All things Pawssible will be finding theirself in small claims court with me. My dog was checked out 4 days prior to only day stay with them, they don't require documentation for vaccicinations and this is just unreal. If I'm lying, let the image of the receipt today show other wise as well as the message to my friend at 630 am on Friday. DO NOT TAKE YOUR PET TO THIS PLACE. They are discourtious and do not require proof animals are up to date on shots. There's a reason why every other dog boarding place does, even Petco and PetSmart require proof of vaccinations before grooming an animal. All things possible can call me and discuss this bill or will be finding theirself in court. I shouldn't have left my pet/SERVICE ANIMAL there.

They are so kind and seem to have everything in order. Indeed, its a no vaccination proof required deal, but that's your own assumption of risk if you're going.

My pup has participated in several training classes and plays at doggy daycare twice a week. It always warms my heart to see how well the staff knows him and how they make sure he’s doing well. He’s a happier pup because of his time there!

My puppy loves this place. Definitely recommend.

DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOGS HERE! The handlers are overwhelmed and the managers are spread too thin and the owners are never there. Karen, the owner is barely there and when she does come by I have witnessed her SCREAM and CURSE at the staff. The manager's job is to support the handlers and make sure the dogs and humans are safe. However, Karen will make them leave their duties to help her during her private dog lessons. A dog died of heat stroke and multiple dogs have been injured, and according to another review a dog died of an illness after it visited ATP. Their system is set up for failure, they have one handler in charge of 25+ dogs and are expected to bleach the floors, vacum and all the while making sure the dogs are safe. The use of so much bleach worries me not only for the dogs but for the people too. They make handlers and dogs sit out in the rain and heat and freezing temps. The front office manager is rude and disrespectful. I recently learned about the unbelivable turnover rate, a clear sign that there is a serious problem witht the way the owners run their buisness. I would never bring my dog back here after learning about the absolute disfunction that is All Things Pawsible.

We've taken our dog here for a couple of years now, since she was a puppy, and honestly we've had a great experience. I am surprised at some of the negative reviews, all I can say is that we've been with them consistently for two years and have had zero problems. Our dog is particularly sensitive to people yelling, so if that was going on, she would not want to go back. As it is, she can't wait to go in. At the end of the day when I pick her up, she's tired, but a good kind of tired from having been interacting with other dogs all day. I have found Karen, Shawn, Jennifer, and Brittany, as well as a number of the other staff to always be outstanding, caring, professional, and always keeping an eye out for our dog. Thanks you all!
