Puppy Training Class Was Great!
PetSmart TrainingIt was $110, 7 weeks and our pup (and ourselves!!) learned a lot. Kayla was a great teacher.
Free, Well-Kept, Right Off The River
Middlegrounds Metropark Off-Leash AreaWe love this place! It’s free. They separate big dogs from little dogs. There’s a water fountain for the dogs. There are free poop bags available. Right behind it is the river where the dogs can go swimming. Highly recommend!!
Awesome Community, Not For Passers-By
Glass City Dog ParkIf you’ll notice, any bad reviews on this place are from people who are just traveling through Toledo and wanted to come here one time, but couldn’t because it’s members only. I can appreciate that to a degree, but there are plenty of other free options in Toledo. The reason (and I love this about GC dog park) that you can’t do any sort of daily pass, is because they require veterinary records and proof of licensing with membership. $40 a year for that peace of mind was worth it for us. While free dog parks have their merits, I actually really love that there is this level of vetting for our daily use dog park. I want to know that the dogs that Reggie is playing with don’t have any health issues or anything like that. I also appreciate that there is oversight. If there is a problem with any dog or dog-parent, we can report it. We had an issue once at a different free dog park where a dog kept attacking our dog and other dogs, and the idiotic parent just laughed and didn’t do anything about it. If that ever happened here, there is a way to report this so that those type of dogs are not allowed here. It gives me peace of mind! They also do all sorts of events and things, and it’s just a really great community. So no, you’re probably not going to like it if you’re just passing through, but for a close-knit community feel for people who actually live in the area, it’s amazing!
Best Dog-Friendly Brewery In The Midwest
Earnest Brew Works South ToledoI accidentally reviewed this under a picture I posted, and don’t feel like typing out all the details again. So go look at the pics on here if you want and in-depth review. This place is absolutely amazing and you have to check it out with your dog 😊
Very Impressed!
Staybridge Suites Elkhart an IHG HotelWe were traveling cross country when we hit a huge blizzard in the middle of the night. We slid off the road into a ditch, and had to get towed out. Us and the pickup were fine, thank God. But we had JUST rescued our pup a few week prior, and had him with us... And he was understandably terrified. We had planned on just driving through the night but decided to stop in the next area that had hotels and shops and stuff. Elkhart was awesome for that. It was a good, safe, clean area with basically every shop and restaurant you could want. We called around and had a hard time finding any hotels that had available rooms that would also allow dogs. We ended up going with Staybridge Suites and I am so glad we did! We had told them about our situation on the phone, and they were so warm and welcoming. They had treats and stuff set up for us when we got there. They really helped make a scary situation into a good experience. Now whenever we travel this way, we make sure to stop there if we need to stay overnight!
