I just recently got my chocolate lab trained at thee dog house and all I can say is THANK YOU. I called them after having tried for months to train my lab through one of the big store classes to no avail. I felt horrible. Was it my fault, I wondered. Now I know it is well worth the investment to save yourself the time and frustration only to fail in the end. Coco loves going back to see her new friends at thee dog house and I LOVE seeing her pictures on their facebook pages. My whole family are now fans of thee dog house but none bigger than Coco and me. Thank you again.
I had signed my girl up for a 6 week obedience course where I would drop her off and pick her up daily. When I first dropped her off, the stench of urine was overwhelming and I should have turned around right then and there but I gave the place the benefit of the doubt. I figured with that many dogs, that there would obviously be an odor- but this was ridiculous. The first day she came home, she smelled like urine BAD. I asked them to rinse her off before I picked her up the next time. Instead of doing so, they just sprayed some conditioner on top of the smell. Day 3 she gets home and repeatedly licked at her paws. Upon inspection, I noticed redness between her toes. When brought to Dan’s attention, he said it was most likely a yeast infection from the pool and to give it a couple days to clear up with her staying out of the pool. Day 5 she gets home and she has green goop in her eyes. By this time, I finally smarten up and take her to the vet where I find out that she has in infection between her toes AND conjunctivitis. Needless to say, I called Monday morning to inform them that she would never be back and requested a full refund as well as reimbursement of the vet bill. He agreed to the refund, but not the vet bill initially. It has now been a month since I first requested reimbursement and still have not received it. I am receiving excuse after excuse after excuse and now need t o resort to legal action. This place is not only disgustingly unsanitary but the owner has a serious attitude and awful customer service skills. I’m so mad at myself for not following through with my first impression of this place and not reading all the reviews on this horrid place.
Check ALL reviews- Yelp! etc. Wavy 10 even did a story on this place!
STAY AWAY!!!
Please don't ever take your dog to Thee Dog House. Other reviewers who have stated it smells like urine and is filthy are not kidding. My dog, who is not aggressive, was injured there. No one could tell me what happened except they thought maybe another dog bit her. She had to have 15 staples and 20 …
If I could give zero stars, I would. DO NOT TAKE YOUR DOG HERE. It is a swamp of infection and disease that will promptly infect your pet. The facility reeks of urine, the stench smacks you in the face as soon as you walk in. Being a training facility and home to many dogs, an odor was expected... but this is just ridiculous. My 7 month old puppy went to Thee Dog House to go through their basic training program and potty training ($1200 something total). She was there for five weeks, despite me being told originally it was a three week program. Every time I called to check on her I got the...
We recently took our to dogs to Thee Dog House to get help with certain behavioral issues (jumping, barking at the doorbell, etc.) When we picked our dogs up we found that they had learned a few basic things such as 'sit' and 'stay' and were initially satisfied. However... over the next day or two we found …

Don't be fooled by Dan's friends posting raving reviews of this disgusting place! Read ALL reviews before leaving your furry baby here- better yet- take a full tour and experience it for yourself.I had signed my girl up for a 6 week obed...

My dog Samson was expelled from a doggie daycare in March 2012 for being aggressive towards the employees. He had been attending this daycare for 7 months with little to no incidents. Samson & I were both devastated. I was also panicking because I needed another daycare for him to attend,but was afraid no one would take him.I searched the web & found Thee Dog House.I was impressed with Dan's credentials and his knowledge of dogs.I called & spoke to him directly,took Samson in for an assessment and the rest is history.Since coming to Thee Dog House,Samson & I are so happy. Dan & his staff...
I know I have posted before on recommendations but I cant stop bragging about thee dog house the great staff there and how well they take care of all the dogs there !
We met Dan at a DockDog event and became close friends. We rescued a Weim, Odin, at about 8-9 months old. the first 6months were bad. He fought with my other 3 dogs. My wife told me to get rid of him on many occasions. Then I spoke to Dan about training. Dan took Odin for a month from us. We live in Ohio and he is in VA Beach. It was like sending your kid to camp. We called everyday. Dan was probably getting tired of us but he was sooo polite. Well, Odin is still with us, fully trained and one our best dogs! Thank you Dan and Thee Dog House for helping us keep Odin!
To anyone who is sitting on the fence considering adopting a weim I would like to say- DO IT! We recently adopted Dodge to be a companion to our chocolate lab Coco and he is the most amazing dog we have ever had!
Love shown here is Tremendous!
My two labs love coming to daycare here! And I love that I have somewhere to take them where I have complete trust that they are taken care of. I visited at least 6 other places before deciding on Thee Dog House. I have recommended them to all my friends and family with dogs.
We recently got our dane pup apollo back a few days ago and he is a perfect gentleman now. We were about to give him up if we could not get him under control. He was a 100+ pound nightmare, he was biting everyone and everything. Dan and his staff are very proffessional and thorough. They treated him like he was their own and took very good care of him the time they had him. He came back home a completley different dog. I highly recommend Thee dog house to anyone with a dog, not so much for the training for him or her but for the owners too. Thanks Dan and to all of your staff for all you...
They walk my dog and do day care for me, so far they have done a great job my baby looks happy when she comes back. If you want your dog to live and be happy I recommend them. Thanks\r
If you want your dog to live and be happy I recommend them.
The staff here is AMAZING! Loving, caring environment for my baby. I take Lovie here once a month for her grooming and she loves them as much as I do. The groomers are extra careful and go the extra mile to pamper the animals.
Love everything about your place. Just wish you were open on weekends!
My dogs (heart) Thee Dog House! I have 3 pooches, ranging from 2 to 9 years old, who are labs or lab mixes. Since I work during the day, someone has to help them burn off all that extra energy. They go to Thee Dog House two or three days a week - I drop them off between 6 and 7 am, and usually pick them up after dinner. They come home, eat their dinner, and head off for bed. During the summer, Thee Dog House has a pool set up, which the pups love. In the winter time, I think they spend most of the daylight hours running around Dan's HUGE fenced yard, as they're inevitably napping on...

Horrible Experience!
This is my story. I originally brought my dog to Thee Dog House because I was having trouble fixing two problem behaviors. Dan talked me through the techniques he uses and while I’m not an overall believer in punishment as a form of training (pinch collars, prong collars, shock collars, etc), I was at the end of what I could do for my dog. Dan showed me the shock collar and allowed me to feel the type of shock my dog would receive. While I did not like the use of the shock collar, I felt that the small shock she would be receiving was not so terrible. This was before I...
I have known Dan Stallings for over three years and during that time, Dan has helped the Atlanta Weimaraner Club Rescue (a non-profit organization, regulated by the Georgia Department of Agriculture) on many occasions. With no more than a quick phone call, Dan has helped so many of our Weims that had behavior issues. Dan has an amazing facility, the experience, and the knowledge to provide the problem Weims with the structure and the consistency they require. Dan knows the breed, is on-site working with the dogs and rehabilitates them. In addition, Dan has found loving homes for these dogs....
When I lived in Virginia Beach, Thee Dog House was the place to go for Tricky. Now Dan has a book out? I cant wait to read it! I highly recommend to any dog lovers!
I have been leaving my fur babies in the caring hands of Dan and Thee Dog House's wonderful staff for over three years now. I travel extensively and take comfort knowing that my three dogs are having the best time they could possibly have without me around - little dog play groups and swim time equals happy pups with tails a wagging! Dan goes the extra mile to email me adorable photos and updates that help me make it through my trips and time away from my little loves. I'm currently away on a six week long journey and Dan has been sending me weekly updates on how the kids are doing - even...
My dog has been boarded at Thee Dog House several times over the past few months when I travel. Dan, and the team, are wonderful to my dog. They pay attention closely, and treat him great. I can...
I don't have anything but wonderful things to say about Dan and his team at Thee Dog House! This review is a little long but I encourage you to read it all to get a clear sense of how great Thee Dog House is. We rescued a 5-year-old Weim from another rescue and didn't know what we were getting ourselves into …
This is the best place to train your dog and for daycare. They all really care about all the dogs and take great care of them. And the training is wonderful I wouldnt have been able to get Brady where he is today without them!
The most caring and professional doggie day-care for a Weim or any dog! Wish every dog had the chance to play here.
Thee dog house will bring peace to your house through dog training. I have had dogs all my life and this place has been the best thing I have done for my dogs and my family.
Thee Dog House is absolutey what it means just by reading the name. It's thee best one! They provide great service towards the dogs as if they were people themselves! My dog likes it better there than at our own home!
The place is so nice & so compassionate towards my little puppies that sometimes at points I wish that I was them because they seem so lucky!
I can't say enough about this place. I just picked my dog up from her first stay at Thee Dog House and I couldn't wait to write a review.
I had a family emergency and had to leave town on short notice. I was nervous to board my bassett in a kennel but the staff was welcoming and the dogs have plenty of room to play. It was much easier after meeting the staff and seeing the fa...
Thee dog house is amazing! I love how free the dogs are here. I board my Suzie here every chance I get!
What a wonderful FIRST TIME experience we had here. I was nervous about leaving our 6 month old golden retriever at a kennel for the first time, not to mention it was for almost 2 weeks, but Thee Dog House was just great!
I don't take my dog anywhere else but Thee Dog House for boarding. When he's here I never have to worry about him, and it's very affordable for me.
Chewy had a really great first experience here at Thee Dog House. You guys really made a wonderful impression on him and me. I will definitely be bringing him back.
Thee Dog House is great. Never have had a complaint in my dogs 3 years here. Dallas, the manager, is a wonderful person. I love our chats. Thanks for the wonderful care.
Excellent care of my small dog. Training is great. I was unable to find another place that compares to Thee Dog House! They are the best!
Very pleased that we can bring our puppy to a place where they know her and take great care of her. During the day she gets the care and exercise she can't get when we are at work. The training has helped so much. Thank you.
I have been taking my Great Dane Lucy to Thee Dog House since she was 5 months old, she will be 2 yrs old next month. Thanks to Dan and his staff she is a well trained and gentle, BIG dog. I travel an hour to take her to day care each day, I live in Norfolk and work in Chesapeake, I pass 2 day care facilities within 5 minutes of my house, and would rather drive the distance knowing that she is receiving excellent care and training.. Lucy comes home tired and happy and looks forward to playing with her pack the next day.. Thanks to dan I have the ""perfect"" dog. \r

I knew this was a fun place for dogs when I pulled into the parking lot and the first thing I saw was a big dog flying through the air into a great big pool. They were doing some sort of training and the dog seemed to really be enjoying it. The dog's in the other outdoor areas were also running around playing and greeted me with excited barking and jumping. They too seemes very happy. After...
Any kennel with such a ridiculas policy as his...they will not take bully breeds unless they are trained by him??? I guess you must have the best trainers and kennel in the world. You are arrogant Dan....eventhough there are good posts here there is enough bad posts that i would never bring my dogs to you no matter what the breed. If you would like to discuss my post i am ready willing and able...
I am one of the managers and trainers at Thee Dog House. I am posting this in response to a review on here regarding our training and the use of an e collar. All of the trainers at our facility read over this review and we all agree that this was a false review because several of the things mentioned in it dont fit with any of our training methods. First and foremost, we offer a moneyback...
I read about thee dog house in the hampton roads magazine pet issue. I live nearby but didn't even realize they were there! I called first and then visited, took a tour, asked plenty of questions and just got an overall feeling that the dogs were having fun, the people seemed nice and took the time to answer all of my questions. They seemed to understand how important my little westie is to me....
