Pros

The company attracts people with a good heart, who genuinely love dogs.

Cons

The family that owns Creative Dog Training is a nightmare. They declaw their cats, make racist jokes, and pocket 6 figure salaries while "working" 4 hours a day, in addition to their company cars, health insurance, work "research trips" for several weeks every year (and working to them = condescending micromanagement to those who actually do the work.) Despite their "research", they are not up to date in any way at all. They have a "technology director" but no technology besides a very old podcast. The Homewood facility is in desperate need of upkeep, but the owners pocket all profits as a personal "bonus." They moved their second location at the Summit across the street from the vet office that is also owned within the family, because they got kicked out due to all of the above issues. The dogs are left alone overnight for at least 12 hours, if not longer, on the cold concrete floors with the rats. Clients asked for cameras in the kennels, like other honest dog daycares have, and the owners refused because "clients might misinterpret what they see" aka "we can't lie our way out of video proof." The Davis family is terrible to work for in every way possible, and the animals in their care deserve better. Do not work here, and do not let anyone you know leave their pet in their irresponsible hands.

Pros

The staff all care for the dogs as if they were there own. Many benefits to the job, i.e. time and a half for holidays, half priced boarding, free daycare.. Staff focuses on every dog and there needs. No dog is treated like they are unimportant or 'just another dog'. You get to play with dogs Hour long lunch break and 15 minute break every shift, and 2 to 4 hour lunch break given in split days. Report cards are given to clients to let them know how there pup was during the day. All management, supervisors,playstaff work extremely hard Fun, relaxed environment

Cons

Nothing that would not be expected, it takes a hard working and job oriented person to do it and not everyone is cut out for it. Overall though it's a great place to work ir you love dogs and dont mind the work

Pros

This place is the best. I have worked here for almost a year now and cannot brag enough on creative dog training. If you work hard and show commitment, you will get promoted quickly. The staff is great and everyone has a true love for the dogs. They all take pride in giving good care and making sure every dog is happy, healthy, and excited to come to daycare, board, or train. As a dog training facility, obviously clients are going to be picky about how their dogs are taken care of and the workers always do absolutely everything to make sure the dogs are taken care of. From pools outside all day for the dogs to splash around in, the fun a frames, the clean kennels, and the amount of attention each dog gets, I couldn't ask much more from such a place. I love my job, and recommend any hard working individual who cares about dogs and really loves spending time with them to work here as well. When clients come in and say their dogs get excited just saying the name of Cdt you know the company is doing something right. People can say what they want but dogs don't lie 😁

Cons

Working with dogs you, obviously, have to do the dirty work too. Like scooping the yard of poop, cleaning kennels, and washing dishes to make sure they have a nice, clean environment. Not a perk of the job but a responsibility but it doesn't come close to outshadowing the good.
