Our boys are absolutely head-over-heels for the incredible staff here! The second we turn onto Garrett Road, their tails start wagging so fast they’re just a blur—they can’t wait to get inside.

Go Dog has been an answer to prayer and the staff are the dogdigginit (da bomb)!!!!! From my two never socializing with others to experiencing a daycare environment for the first, the staff have been gentle and kind and always informative of anything happening. I couldn't ask for a better group to care for my babies when I have to be away from them.

*Not a safe or supportive place for puppies* I would strongly caution other puppy owners from bringing their dogs to GoDog Durham. My 11-month-old golden retriever passed their temperament test with flying colors, and we were told she was a great fit. Just a couple weeks later, we suddenly received calls and an email claiming she had developed serious behavioral issues — despite no changes in her behavior at home as we work through training her on typical puppy concerns. Instead of offering constructive training support, they suggested giving her hemp treats to “calm her down,” which felt like an interesting solution rather than addressing the environment itself. They wrote a super condescending “written warning” explaining her irrational behavior and complaining that she had “zoomie brain.” Several times we even came to pick her up and saw other dogs jumping, biting and being very playful without the reprimand that they claim to use. We also have video footage of staff dragging our dog by the ear away from another dog. GoDog only separates dogs into two large groups with no attention to temperament or play style. These packs can include 30+ dogs at a time, which creates a chaotic, overstimulating setting, especially for younger dogs still learning boundaries. On several occasions, our dog was even placed in a boarding kennel by herself without our knowledge, and we only found out at pickup. Luckily the staff will play with them for 15 minutes. This facility may look modern and well-run from the outside, but in reality, it’s not a safe or supportive environment for puppies or social dogs. If you’re looking for a daycare that truly understands canine behavior and development, I would recommend going elsewhere.

My boyfriend and I absolutely love GoDog Durham! We have been taking our pug Daisy here for a few months now and she has the time of her life here! She makes so many good memories here and always gets so excited to go to daycare! Thank you GoDog Durham! ☺️

Go Dog has always done an amazing job taking care of my fur babies. I used them weekly for daycare in 2019, we moved away and came back this year, I’m so thankful they’re still here! They are amazing! I don’t worry at all about my babies when they are there, I also don’t trust a lot of people with my dogs. I recommend Go Dog to everyone I know with pets. I love all the staff. They truly care about all their animals and I know they look after them like they are their own. I’m beyond thankful for Go Dog and their team. I truly believe my dogs are better pets because they get to come here.
