I've been taking my (new) 2 year old rescue here for two months. My most important observation: my dog leans in / tugs, with tail in wag-mode, at every arrival, and he comes home tail in wag-mode and exhausted.

1) People: Staff at FCD genuinely enjoy being with and caring for dogs. I see that in how they interact with my dog, and how they often show off other dogs in their care and discuss breeds and personalities.
2) Regular updates: Melissa/staff provide updates on my dog's activities and behavior, and let me know which dogs are particular pals with mine.
3) Special situation care: In one instance, my dog was nipped by another while playing - a very minor injury to his ear. I was notified quickly and told the staff was on it. When I picked my dog up, the nip was tended and cleaned, and my dog seemed totally unbothered, tail on wag.
4) Partnership (training): Melissa/staff shares with me areas to help my dog along in training and partners on those focus areas.
