Quad Cities Dog Center at a glance
Google reviewers rate Quad Cities Dog Center 4.8 out of 5 based on 46 reviews, with the owner responding to none of them. Customers frequently praise the facility's size, clean indoor environment, excellent turf surfaces, and ample parking for agility trials and dog training. Staff are described as friendly and well-organized in running events and maintaining safety protocols. However, one recurring criticism involves a booking error where a rented venue was occupied by another group, resulting in poor phone communication and a lack of resolution for the displaced renter.
