Here's what our customers say about us:

Dale & Arne are top notch. I can't think of a dog boarding facility (in this case, the more accurate description would be "sleepaway camp") that I would recommend more highly. When they generously assist us with foster care & short-term dog evaluations, we take great comfort in knowing that our dogs are going to be safe & loved. We greatly appreciate the high quality, detailed updates we receive on our dogs when they are in their care.

NEVER in her two years with us have I seen Tillie this tired. Wow. You guys did an amazing job :) Thanks again. We are so lucky to have found you two. Husband Andy says: If there's a Dog Heaven, this is it!

I have been boarding my 2 Labs with Dale & Arne for several years now . They get so excited when I turn down the street- they cannot wait to get out of the car & go join the group!! They have so much fun there & don't even look back when I leave. They know they will find all kinds of toys & bones & new doggie friends to meet. I can totally relax knowing they are in excellent hands. Dale is a wonderful, patient caregiver & they really love visiting with her - and my Lilly seeks out Arne so she can sleep near him at bedtime. They both have a vast knowledge of dog behavior & always give me great information & insight on my dogs. I would highly recommend We Board Labs, Inc. for your total peace of mind.

I’m sure you know that you & Arne have played a huge role in raising Mamie, and now looking after Genny as well. We had never left Genny with anyone other than our neighbor in Pennsylvania until Lisa told us about you. [Lisa Weiss, of LoBuff Labs --voted #1 breeder of Labrador retrievers in US.]
I never thought Elizabeth would leave her beloved Genny with anyone, but there you are, their real foster parents. Can’t thank you enough.

I highly recommend the Board-and-Train with We Board Labs. Matisse [four-month-old fox red lab] came back to us knowing his boundaries, which is so important for a family with young children. We are very impressed with his manners, and I feel so much more confident in my ability to train him after having worked with you. I'm so happy I found you, both for training and for boarding. Thank you for all of your hard work, dedication and care!

You folks are a godsend.....thank you. I could not go away like I have & relax so much. In the past, it was a nightmare. I made myself sick before going away. We didn't have anywhere to leave our dog. She got kennel cough, lost weight, ripped & ate a jacket (when we had someone staying in our home). Just awful. Gabby loves staying with you. She pulls me up the driveway straight to your gate. And it's SO TRUE that they sleep for a couple days when they get home. That's just what Gabby does. She's so happily worn out!

We have been customers of We Board Labs for about 3 1/2 years & we couldn't be happier. We love to travel & not worrying about Luca when we're away is the greatest peace of mind. Dale & Arne provide a loving environment in their home. They care for Luca the way we care for him. He is happy & comfortable & has as much activity as he wants with all his friends. When we pull up to the house, Luca gets so excited -- he knows exactly where he is! It is truly his home away from home.

We Board Labs has been a remarkable find for our family and for our Labrador Daisy. We bring her there for "Daisycare," & she gets exercise, plays with friends & socializes.
"A happy lab is a tired lab!" It's her home away from home. We trust Dale and Arne implicitly; they just know the breed so well.

Finally in all my years of owning dogs, I have found a 'home away from home' for my 1-year-old lab Wahoo. I knew the first time I spoke with Dale that she was a caring, patient individual who loved dogs which was what I needed since Wahoo was somewhat mischievous as a puppy.
When I first brought Wahoo to Dale and Arne's house I fell in love with their beautifully wooded and spacious backyard & I knew Wahoo would feel the same. And I was equally impressed with how clean and organized the inside of their house was, with many beds for the dogs to relax & sleep in. When we go away I know that Wahoo is enjoying herself as much as we are (if not more!) & I can relax & know when I come home that Wahoo will be happy to see us, but yet very content to rest by our side (after her exercise-filled days) & dream of the doggie fun that she had at We Board Labs.
Expect your dog to be totally exhausted when you bring it home. Don't be surprised if they go straight to their bed & sleep for three days! It means they had the time of their life!
