Hounds On the Hill

I have done both a beginning obedience class as well as doggy daycare here and this place is great! My dog and I both learned a lot in class and she comes home totally happy and tuckered out after daycare.
The prices are very reasonable for both classes and daycare.
(Patrick’s review below is incorrect. Terri is very up front with pricing and the information that she gives in regards to training is for your benefit! Not a fan of negative reviews by someone who didn’t actually experience the business they’re writing about.)

We have been taking our dog to Hounds on the Hill since we adopted him in June. The first three months were a bit of a struggle; he tore up the apartment when we’d leave and acted very hesitant towards strangers and new places, but in the last few weeks he has really come out of his shell.
He loves going to daycare now! We live in Capitol Hill, so it is super convenient to drop him off and pick him up on the way to/​from work. All the employees are very nice and we like going to work knowing our dog is in good hands and having fun. He is always super tired when he gets home, which is nice for us.
We were hoping to only have to take him once a week ($ 23 a day), but it is much easier to pay for an extra day of daycare rather than have to run home for lunch and since he loves it so much, two days a week is well worth it. They offer a deal where you buy 10 days up front and get a free day. Eventually we will go this route.

I took my 11 month old Standard Poodle Frisco to Hounds on the Hill yesterday for the first time. I was impressed with how much time they spent getting to know him before I left him and that they ease him into the mix of dogs slowly and with care/​concern. I think the smaller, a little quieter, closely supervised environment eased Frisco who is generally anxious at daycare. He was a happy, satisfied & tired (but not too tired) dog last night! Plus it is super convenient for us city folk. This will be a routine daycare spot for him!

I’ve been taking my dog to Hounds on the Hill for about two years now, and she LOVES it. Strains at the leash to get in, wags her tail, does not look back at me at all when I drop her off. Hounds is a small place, doesn’t have webcams, and may not have all the perks that some of the other daycares have… but who cares?
There are a couple of other places I take my dog in town, depending on my schedule, but this is the only one my dog really likes. I know she’s being taken care of because she wants to be there. And comes home tired, of course. What more can I ask for?

I have been taking my 1 yr old lab to Hounds on the Hill for about 5 months now and he loves it! I was impressed with the interview process, and it made me feel more comfortable leaving my dog there, knowing that each dog had been pre-​screened for aggressive behavior. Everyone there is very friendly and always greet my dog by name. Best of all, he comes home happy, healthy, and exhausted.

I started taking my late golden retriever and now my Chukki to Hounds on the Hill. I’ve tried many dog care’s in Colorado and Wisconsin, this place treats your dog as well as you would. Honest. They will interview you and your dog to make sure it’s a good fit. However — don’t be fooled by the fact that there’s not a ton of obstacle stuff for the dog etc – there’s adequate coverage by employees for the size of the location. AND, the owner Teri has a really vast knowledge of doggie behavior. She gives me tips all the time. The dogs play and entertain each other and the employees also really care about everyone including you as the owner. They also resurface the floor to with a rubber coating that is very easy on your dog’s joints etc.
I LOVE this place and so does my dog Chukki!

Highly recommend Hounds on the Hill! Our dog absolutely LOVES his time there, the hours are convenient (open until 7 p.m.), clean, and perhaps most importantly, the dogs are very well taken care of by Terri and her staff.

My furry little child, Oscar, began attending «puppy school» at Hounds a few months ago. Initially, I was nervous about taking him somewhere new, and when I found out we had to come in for an interview I was a little surprised at the formality of it all. (That is not to insinuate that the process is a bad idea by any means-​) They just love the doggies and want to make sure everyone is safe and happy. Recently, my dog-​child had a bad case of the barfs and the staff was awesome at making sure he was taken care of. My misplaced maternal energy and the tendency to anthropomorphize my dog make me pretty picky, and I would have to say that Hounds is the shiznit.

What a great place and very convenient. Terri (owner) and her staff are true dog lovers (which is kind of necessary for a dog day care). It is definitely smaller than other places but my pup is happy and tired when I pick her up. One thing I really like: they give dogs a nap in an individual crate during the middle of the day. Also, If I know that I will be later than usual (after 4:30 or 5:00) I bring her food and they feed her for me.
The facility is all indoor but the floor is not concrete — — which is easier on their legs, feet and paws). It is some sort of rubber.
Terri also offers training classes. We did the beginner class and were very satisfied.
