We boarded our two doggy children while we were away over the holidays. It’s the second time Woofs, Wags, and Wiggles was their temp home. We can always tell how our animals’ stay has been by their reaction when we pick them up. Our boys both seemed happy and relaxed, so we are confident they were treated well. We like the fact that the dogs can play with others as one of ours is extremely social. Plus, we saw several pictures of them that were posted by WWW team members. We recommend the place. It’s not cheap, but it’s also not exorbitantly overpriced. Thank you to the staff for taking care of our dog babies!
My Goldendoodle attends 2x weekly, since he was a pup (so a little over a year now). Auntie Tara offers not only a fun filled day for my pup to play with his best dog friends, but grooming, exercise sessions, training, and more. She has also incorporated tons of other fun, such as photo sessions, yearbooks, giveaways, and this is all within the short amount of time we have been going there. My dog knows his people there, and loves them all as much as he loves his family. I know he is in good hands with the staff there. The website is easy to navigate, and the staff is super responsive with messages and/or booking, which puts your nervous dog mom/dad mind at ease! It’s the best decision we’ve made for our pup. I can’t wait for him to be a life long member of W3. They’re his people, and have become ours too💙🙏🏽 THANK YOU to all W3 staff. Especially Auntie Tara! Checking them out is a MUST! Do your pup (and yourselves) a favor, and send the dog!!!🥰🐶
My babies get very excited when we pull into the drive. They are excited to play with their friends. As they get older, Miss Tara now offers Reiki to help with arthritic joints. This is great to help my babies live their best lives in their golden years.
We’ve been using this place for a year and love it. When we first brought Luna here it was after several failed attempts at other Doggy daycares. Our fur baby was very timid so when we were referred to Woofs, Wags & Wiggles, the owner, Tara, made sure Luna’s experience went seamlessly. Tara made sure she gave me updates on Luna to set my mind at ease and very quickly Luna was jumping out of the car, eager to get into Daycare here. This place & the owner are lifesavers!!! The staff is always friendly & helpful too.
Please PLEASE think twice before leaving your pet at this facility. I know they present themselves as a fun, safe place for your dog to stay at but there are so many reasons why this is not the case. Given that they’ve allowed a number of dogs to escape the property, and one has never been found, the security of their outdoor spaces should be questioned. Also, based on the videos they post on Facebook, they allow dogs to play while wearing collars, which is unsafe (Google search dogs getting stuck while playing with collars on and you’ll see why it’s not a good idea).Bottom line - and this goes for ALL facilities you are considering leaving your pet at - demand to see the facility and outdoor play spaces. If they don’t allow you to see where your pet will be staying, look elsewhere. Ask questions. Don’t assume that a place is safe and secure based on some videos on social media.Our area has some great boarding/dog daycares but this is just not one of them. Please be careful with this one.
My babies have been going to W3 for day care for a while now and have always been well cared for. I say wanna go to school and they run for their leashes! They were there for boarding for the last week and they loved it! One of dogs needed medications and they were given all week. I got daily emails and saw pictures everyday of them playing and having fun!
We love WWW. We rescued our sweet baby and she needed some extra TLC, Tara and her staff are wonderful. Not to mention that badass doggy bus they have that picks your baby up!!!! ☺️
Since we have to travel a lot for work, we board our not-so-social, but beloved 10 yr old Bella (Norwegian Buhund) at Woofs, Wags & Wiggles VERY often over the last 2 years. She loves to go there!And even at her age, she has improved in her socialization and general behavior. Tara & her team are to credit for this! Before, suitcases out would bring on an anxiety attack… now, suitcases bring happy anticipation!
They took great care of our dogs! We have a large aging dog that needed some extra TLC. He doesn’t like to be fussed with, but they brushed him and cut his nails, which were way over due because he doesn’t cooperate well. They were patient and gave him breaks when needed, but in the end, they got them done. They went above and beyond and we appreciate it!
*REAL TESTIMONY FROM A LOYAL CUSTOMER!*I have been taking my Tessa to W3 since August of 2020. Tara and staff have helped a VERY unsocial and untrusting dog learn to let loose and have some fun while interacting with her own kind! Tess is always extremely tired from the days fun and activities which is awesome since I work a lot and therefore dont have a lot of time to tire her out at home. Miss Tara and staff work very hard with all of the dogs as a group and one on one with those extra special cases (ahem..my dog).Also, prices are super fair!
Jilli loves coming to play here, everyone has helped her to overcome her shyness, she absolutley thrives on the loving care provided by staff!
I highly recommend Woofs, Wags & Wiggles. Reservations and payments are done through the website which makes drop off and pick up really quick. They send updates while my dog stays there and are very responsive to messages. My dog loves going there and playing with other dogs and always comes back tired!! Staff are very friendly and knowledgeable
Was very pleased with services until both dogs came home with kennel cough and once it was diagnosed by my vet, I notified the business. Was expecting transparency with clients via an email, to notify other customers. Instead, I was questioned if it was truly kennel cough. One of my dogs had an extreme case of it. The issue isn’t kennel cough. That’s a given that there is risk when boarding at any kennel or doggie daycare.My issue is the lack of communication to customers about what’s going in behind closed doors so we can make educated decisions concerning the health of our dogs. We haven’t been back. Which is a shame. If they communicated with info concerning things of this nature, they would have received 5 stars from me
I cant say enough good things about this place. The dogs arent simply crated all day, they get to play and have fun. The staff has always been totally professional, and every employee treats every dog as if he were their own. I sometimes drive my daughters great dane to doggy daycare and can see how excited dogs arriving are. They love it! They get attention and love in a safe environment. Its perfect!
I started taking my dog there three years ago. He had a socialization problem with small dogs. They worked with him and he now can be around a small dogs with no concerns. He loves going. He comes home happy and tired. He spends his days being a dog. Yes, he has come home with scrapes, bumps and dirty. If he didnt I would be concerned that he wasnt spending time out of his kennel. I tend to be overprotective but the staff deals with my concerns about is it too cold? is it to hot? We discuss then we laugh but at that moment I am being treated as though he is the only dog that is attending. As long as I have my dog, he will continue to attend.
This is the best doggy daycare around. The staff is wonderful and truly cares for each animal that comes through the door and do their best to tend too an animals individual needs and comfort levels. The dogs get to play an socialize with one another in large, safe, outside play spaces. The owner as well is amazing, is often on site, has a keen sense of the animals an their feelings and shows so much compassion for each one of them its simply astonishing. Woofs Wags and Wiggles is the only doggy day care I would take my doggo to.
We cannot say enough good things about Woofs Wags and Wiggles. The staff is extremely friendly, accommodating, and cater to each dogs needs. We use them on a regular basis, multiple times a week and highly recommend them to everyone! Our dog is beyond excited every morning to greet his doggy friend and staff members. Everyone is great there!
This was my dogs 1st stay here. I think Rebecca was great with our goldendoodle. He looked like he had a good stay based on some pictures posted on FB. Great service when we dropped him off and picked him up. After that 1st visit it was all down hill from there. Grooming is a joke. Period. My dog needed a bath every time I picked him up, he was filthy from the sand box and he stunk terrible. They never returned food, and when we got home, he ran to his water bowl like he hadnt had a drink all day. One day he came home limping and that was the last straw. Do your homework before leaving your babies here! Google the owners name and read the news articles!
My wife and have took our old set of pups and our current gang. We have been using their services ever since we moved into the area for years ago. We have never had any issues, the staff is friendly and professional. We really appreciate the one on one training that Miss Tara has done with our Dogos. The level of excitement with our two pups says it all.
Our sweet Hank has been spending one day a week at W3 for the last several months. Once Hank got used to having new friends, the owner began training him. When youre nearly 200 pounds and just want to be loving all the time, you have to learn ways to how to manage yourself. Hank has come so far in terms of listening and behaving . I know when I sent him, he is loved and cared for. We just left him for a weekend and he has slept since the moment he came home. He obviously had a great weekend and I know that they love him. I feel comfortable and confident sending my furboy there.
I used to take my dog to the other doggie daycare and they segregated him away from the other dogs because he plays rough. When it got too cold out side and they couldnt play with him with the hose, they had nothing more to do with him. Then I found WWW. Best move ever! Hes so happy to play with the other dogs and Im so happy he comes home tired. Give Tara a call....shell take good care of your fur babies!!
We started sending our oldest dog 3 years ago and woofs, wags and wiggles is hands down his favorite place. And when we got our other 2 dogs they also started at woofs, wags and wiggles too. We send them knowing they are safe, happy and well looked after. The staff is friendly and great dealing with our 3 crazy high energy pups.
I brought my dog here because he has intense anxiety. They helped my dog through his nervousness around other dogs. He now feels the urge to play with any dog he walks past. He enjoys going and by the time I get him home daily he is exhausted and ready for bed with mom. Tara is so open about his days and passes along any concerns she has or all the silly stories of his day! Love it here!
Lincoln is sooo happy to come here. I ask him if he wants to see his friends and he gets so excited. Always a good experience except when I pick him up because he doesn’t want to come home. Highly recommend this place if you want your dog acclimated with other dogs. It takes special people to leave my dog with someone and I couldn’t have picked a better place..
We boarded our pup here in June, and again in August. When we picked her up after her short stay in June, she was actively bleeding. We inquired and it was waved off, with the staff member basically saying that these things happen. And sure, these things can happen, but I should have been notified in advance, not when I picked up my pup. Because of a lack of options, we decided to give them another shot this month when we went on a family trip. When we picked her up, she had visibly lost weight (which I get that sometimes dogs dont eat if theyre anxious or something, but again, no communication), she had wounds on her head, scabs on her nose, and when she got home, she drank three bowls of water. She acted like she hadnt had water in days. She also was incredibly skittish and slunk away when we weretalking with out hands, acting like she has been hit or something. Again, willing to give the benefit of the doubt here, and Im not saying they hit her, but shes a friendly outgoing girl and this isnt her norm. Ive never raised a hand to my dog, and that behavior is incredibly out of character for her. Im not sure what happened during her stay, but we will not be returning. I can be flexible and understanding, bu there is a need for it and we received no communication. If I picked my child up from daycare like this without recieving news, I would be furious. 0/10
Best daycare ever! My pup goes every other day. They take such good care of my little girl. The staff are amazing and have tons of experience with xl breed dogs. I love the daily photos on their Facebook page. Would definitely recommend.
New to town and getting established and made an appointment for my dog the evening before and because of a computer issue she wasnt in the system and they dont take walk-ins so I drove 30 minutes to drop her off and they would not accept her. So Im late for work because their system screwed up and we were punished for it. I will pay extra for rover instead of bringing my dog here. Such a bad business ethic to run. Shame on you, Woofs, wags and wiggles!Edited to add (after response): my pets records had been verified, she had been to this daycare a few days already so this wasnt her first day, with appointments made within 24 hours. Ive taken her to many daycares and Ive never known one to not allow walk-ins, what on earth needs to be prepared?! Your website shouldnt allow for scheduling if you do not accept them before a certain time. And theres a little thing called grace when something like this happens for the first time, you should learn about it.
This place was easy to schedule online. Good window for pickup and drop off and its also close to the airport that we use. Had a little misunderstanding with the food situation. Make sure you bring food for your pets as they dont supply it. Other that that I felt good knowing my dogs were having fun while we were gone. They post photos on Facebook daily!
I booked my dog there for my vacation to move my daughter to Florida. Day 2, I emailed asking if everything was going well. There response was no news is good news. Enjoy your vacation. Basically shutting down all communication.Day 5, I wake to an 8am email, NOT A PHONE CALL, stating my dog is vomiting and there was blood. I called 25 times in 40 minutes and 2 emails with no answer, they finally called they said he seemed ok and they were giving him air, I then asked them to take him out of the crate and outside to check his behavior and that was like pulling teeth. At this point i am finding someone back home to pick him up.They said ok. Then a manager called back was super rude. Said if I was worried about my dog I should come back from my little vacation. I was irrate. Call ended. Emailed stated my friend was coming to get him at 12:15 to take him to the vet. There response was no human interaction until 3:45-5:00 he could be picked up then. I called the police, in the meantime they agreed to release my dog. From the first email to my friend picking up my dog they were unable to answer the phone, except for a call from the Managar being very rude. They kept his food...snacks and charged me for the whole 8 days. Never once apologized, experience was a nightmare. Number one red flag is there is zero phone communication even when booking. Not one care in the world about my pup.
I would not recommend bringing your dog here. This place has been known to lose animals and people have gotten their animals back with lacerations. They will not show surveillance footage if anything does unfortunately happen to your dog. They will not cover vet bills either when the unfortunate situation is their fault and responsibility. They do not own up to what they say on their website. For the safety of your animal, please do not take them here.
I have been taking my dog here for years! I travel for work and Tara always takes great care of my Dexter while I am away. The daycare is also awesome he comes home happy and tired!
I take our digs here weekly and I’ve used boarding.They come home tiered - and we know they are well taken care of. Communication is also never a problem- the owner Tara is very caring for the dogs and humans.We love this place
Where to begin? Lets start with the fact they never answer their phone. Communication needs a vast improvement. Website advertises daily updates and photos yet never received one, even after reaching out to them. Because their staff ignored my instruction regarding removing my furry-friends harness when not in use, they left it on him so he destroyed it first day. Also was not informed of this until I returned from my emergency trip, 8 days after drop off. Made sure there was extra food and treats in the even of a delay in my return, but even though there was no delay the extra treats and food was not returned and they did not account for its use. When I brought up my concerns/questions to staff they side stepped them. Even though my fur-buddy seemed to have suffered no adverse conditions from his stay, I will seek boarding him elsewhere should I need to again and will not/cannot recommend them for extended stays due to their lack of communication skills.
Ive had 2 dogs here. My Golden Retriever puppy still goes. She seems genuinely happy there and the owner,Tara, keeps me updated with pictures and videos almost daily. I would highly recommend this place!
We brought our dog here while we went on vacation, when we picked him up he wasn’t acting the same he was down and not as happy as usual, we tried to leave it be, but then i started petting him and there was dry blood so i started looking through his fur and there’s a huge bite hole on him, and the thing is they didn’t even tell us they could’ve at least let us know so we could’ve got him checked before it got worse, we are never bringing him here again. i do not recommend bringing your dogs here they’re not gonna be safe.
Awesome place !! Always super kind and very easy to communicate with , they always have a spot for my dog bear and accommodate even when we apply a little past the due date, they helped train bear and introduced him into groups to socialize him , they’ve been nothing but amazing to us !!
All four of my fur-babies LOVE Woofs Wags & Wiggles and they ADORE Tara (Auntie Tara) and her staff (Rebecca, Zaiden and Danielle!! Tara is awesome when working with you and your baby for socialization and training! WWW is IDEAL for your pet!!
I love this place! If you need to give your pup some time with other pups. This is it ! My pup has a great time ! Peace
This place is wonderful. They are sho great with my fur baby. He has so much fun. He is tired by the end of the day. They make sure he has plenty of exercise and rest. There is so much to do and sho many friends. They ate even helping him on some leash issues he has. I highly recommend them. They are so carrying and great with the dogs.
Great care! Amazing staff! Ms Radford is an absolute animal enthusiast and darling
Our dogs are EVERYTHING to us. Possibly a little spoiled. They seem to love it! The staff is so loving and caring and you can tell they play with your dogs!!! Couldnt be happier with them!!!
Terrible place to leave your family member! I left 2 dogs there ,they both looked like death when I picked them up,both lost 10lbs and more,both had Kennel cough,one had a bite injury s,owner said she new nothing,vet bill was 285.00,I will never again go to this hole!!!!!!!! If you love your pets ,dont go to this place!!I i wouldnt let them watch my pet gold fish!!
Woof Wags n Wiggles is the best doggie daycare in Elmira. Tara is great with dogs. With our two boys, she has worked on training them and getting them socialized everytime they go over. They love daycare and they love Tara and her Great Danes!
My 3 girls go thier once week and they get Sooo excited! I have 2 newfies and 1 border collie/chow chow and Tara does an amazing job with them and loves every single pup that comes to her!
Our dog might prefer being at daycare over being at home. They give her the best care and she has so much fun playing with her friends there.
WWW is so great with Baxter. We get an update on how hes doing when we were out of town. It is also great that I was able message them about change of plans.
This place is wonderful, super accommodating, friendly, and they take super good care of our pups. Becca and Dani are always super nice. This place is amazing!
The w3 really is the place to be for dogs ! It has everything from playground area and doggie bubble machines , bathing , nail trims and cuts and shampoos .They offer training and housing if I go out of town as well . I couldn’t ask for more . 😊
Great place … my dog was in good hands. They went up and beyond when I couldn’t find boarding kennel last minute. We came from nyc and needed to board our dog because of the hotel. Very thankful…
My dog has been coming here for years, I’ve seen huge improvements with him. Absolutely love the staff and the care they give my little fella. Would 10/10 recommend
I absolutely love this place!
Tara is the very type of person that I would trust to take the best care of my animals.
We’ve been taking our dog there for over 4 years now twice a week and they have always been amazing to work with!
My Irish Wolfhound babies LOVE coming to WWW! They have so much play time with their friends throughout the day! Being so big, they are not easy to travel with. As a hockey family, we are on the go, and hotels dont always accommodate large puppies, even super cute trained ones. Tara and her amazing team welcome our 2 cuties, and dont flintch when our schedule changes. We get sweet updates while we are away and we love to see the facebook postsand photos. After an eventful weekend, our puppies come back worn out! We are so thankful to have a great woofs, wags, and wiggles to take care of our babies when we cant. We cant thank their team enough!
We take our dog for daycare several times per week. The staff are great, love the dogs, and our puppy loves going!
Fantastic! We take our pups here regularly and they receive spectacular care and attention. Socialization, excercise and basic training all in one place. Stimulating environment in the common yard for dogs to explore and play. The owner maintains training in animal first aid, etc and is truly loving of and invested in all the pets that visit.
Placed a call for information about the daycare and training options..recieved a call back from someone who could not answer any of my questions..kept stating that I would have to talk to someone else. I asked if I could please have them call me when they were able and I am still waiting for them to call me back..2weeks ago.
Erin and her staff are great with all my dogs.
My pup booker was groomed here, very clean nice facility and the staff are all amazing caring people!
Took excellent care of our puppy and extremely friendly staff. Also provided updates when requested for peace of mind.
Absolutely horrid, I’m so disappointed. We took our sweet little fur baby there and they treated him like trash, will not be coming again!!
Pups are always worn out! They love it
Very nice people and place! My fathers dogs escaped and they were brought here where they fed them well and brushed them and took really good care of them while they waited to find the owners they even renamed the two dogs Hansel and Gretel. Beautiful fun facility for dog care and doggie daycare.
PLEASE AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COSTS!!! Now 2 dogs have mysteriously disappeared with no trace while in her care. Dogs are not watched after & are NOT taken care of! Tara Radford needs to be SHUT DOWN
Love this place! Great for boarding and socializing our pup! Thank you so much for all you do!
Very happy. I just wish they had him socialize with the other dogs.
They take the best care!
Luna has been going here for well over a year now and she LOVES Miss Tara and spending time with all her tall and small friends. Having taken her there from a younger age saw her issues with socialization and resource guarding improve so much. Tara and her staff love our furry friends and it definitely shows ❤
I am reviewing the daycare not the training. Based on what I saw the first time I came to pick up my dogs, I wouldnt trust this place EVER. I never came back. She claims expertise with dogs. Well, uh, why exactly was she BLASTING music at volume from 8-10? The dogs were going nuts barking, but highly stressed, nonstop, frantic barking and nonstop leaping all over their kennels---- ALL of them. Expertise? Right volume for music for dogs is where it is getting just a little uncomfortably low volume for a person with normal hearing to hear it. Doing what she did to dogs is like putting a person 2 feet away from the speaker at a rock concert and making them stay there for however many hours. Think you might be shaking at your cage door and leaping around screaming if someone stuck you in there without your consent? She said she did it because she was saving up for a great sound system but only had a little radio so the dogs in the back coukd hear. Are you kidding me? I take my dogs someplace closeby. Has 2 acres with grass, shade trees... they have doggie cams in all the different playards, too. I can watch from home to see what my happy guys are up to. I want to cry when I drive by Woofs Wags and Wiggles for all the pet owners who are loving but have no idea of what quality care is, who based their high rating on the dogs having enough water to drink. and poor baby dog whose mom gave this dump a 5 star rating because it has a badass bus .0/10.
We do not have human children, so our dog is our world. I cannot imagine a safer place for her when I am at work or out of town. She attends DayCare/DayCamp twice a week. She enjoys her time there, Tara and Bethany go out of their way to keep her safe, happy and social. They send photos and videos when they can, and it gives me and my husband such a peace of mind. My “world” is taken care of and she loves her days and nights(when needed) at Woofs, Wags, and Wiggles. Highly recommended to you by us all!
They lost my dog and wont do anything about it
Miss Tara and her staff are amazing!!!
Terrible service. All I’m going to say
We love friends!
They are out of theyre mind on pricing..
Great place for your dogs
