I really cannot recommend highly enough this facility. We're residents of Chicago with three dogs. We care alot about our dogs so we looked at quite a few kennels to find a place where we would be comfortable leaving our dogs for up to two weeks at a time. Because First Place has such an expansive play area for our dogs, and a very reasonably priced board and train program, we decided to make the drive out to McHenry.\r

Let me also say that one of our dogs is stranger aggressive. I brought the dog out to First Place so Chris and Vince could meet him and Chris spent a few moments with him and said he would be willing to work with him. Chris gained our dogs trust and had him obeying better when we returned two weeks later than he ever had.\r

Compared to other boarding facilities, first place has a much more extensive play area for the dogs, a very large and well equipped training center and the people there seem to care alot about the animals.
