I have had 2 dogs kenneled at Brizes Kennels in Elizabeth over the past 10 years - no complaints whatsoever. My current dog is part pit-bull and other kennels would not take her. I had this dog trained at Brizes, I board there 4-6x a year, and she is groomed there. SHe loves the place! Her tail wags and she cries excitedly as we drive up the hill to the kennel. She gets walks and swim time in the summer. Brizes NEVER mixes dogs for play time or swim time as some other kennels do. The kennels are always clean, Shiva has an upraised bed, part of the floor is heated in the winter, and the runs are very large - not crates like some other places use. My other dog developed kennel after staying at another kennel and that is when we found Brizes. Barb treats all of the dogs holistically if any of them come down with something while being kenneled there.
Every dog loses weight at the kennel after a lengthy stay - not the same food and they do miss home. How does this person suggest that the dogs are led into the kennel and back, led to grooming, etc? They have to be on leashes. Perhaps this person's dog has never learned how to properly walk on a leash and not to pull and strain. Proper behavior of a trained dog is effective to not causing them harm.
I have recommended Brized to many of my friends who own large dogs. They have all been pleased with the kennels, the training and the grooming.
