I cannot recommend Adler Stein at all. My dog was devastated by his experience here. I suggest you turn around and run the other wayfind another kennel, even if you need to search hard to find a place that will take reactive dogs. I brought my German Shepherd Dog to Adler Klein for a week of boarding. My dog was fairly reactive to strangers, but otherwise perfectly behaved at home. Anne seemed to know what she was doing upon drop offbut it should have been a red flag that she did not raise the question of walking or exercising him, even though I had told her on the phone that I would want that added service. I had to call back after drop-off to remind her I wanted him walked, and she seemed to be hearing it for the first time. (Frankly, it's a red flag that regular exercise isn't the default at Adler Stein.) But when I returned to pick up my dog after a week, he was obviously horribly traumatized. I can't be sure exactly why. Anne was not talkative and was a bit gruff upon my arrival and during the pick-up. My dog looked like he'd lost weight in just a week. Later we found that he had an injury on his snoot; I couldn't tell what from, but it may just have been from him constantly seeking attention through the cage fencing because he wasn't being cared for. When I arrived, Anne was hosing down all the dog yards with the dogs still in them, spray-cleaning everything including the dogs with a high-powered hose (the dog holds are just like old-school zoo cagesall cement, a caged outdoor area and an inside space in the rear). My dog was so scared, he didn't know how to react to me when I first arrivedfor a moment he cowered and growled; then he realized it was me and was beside himself. The moment he came out of that cage, he sprinted towards our car, which was not at all his usual demeanor. All the way home, he was cowering and looked to be very weak and shaky. Thankfully, my dog has now recovered (with much love from the whole family), and his reactivity with strangers continues to improve with the help of our expert trainerso I am lucky that I won't need to find another kennel that claims to be "experts" with difficult dogs. But if your dog needs a kennel that takes reactive dogs, I advise you to keep looking.
