Seacrest Kennels

Beware dog owners, I live nearby this kennel and walk my dog by it a few times a week. I would NEVER subject my dog to this hellhole. I’ve watched them take the dogs out for their daily «walk». This consists of keeping them on a very short leash, walking them slowly about 100 yards until they do their «duty» and then they don’t even pick up after the dog turd. Unprofessional and gross. And any dog would go nuts with no exercise like that! Unless you have a highly aggressive dog that other pet kennels won’t take, and you don’t really care about your pet, stay away!

I am devastated to hear that Seacrest has lost its edge since its talented energetic owner was murdered two years ago in downtown Carlsbad. He, who had trained protection dogs for the SD Police department, was without a dog as he took away a gun from a drunk gang member in a crowded bar. His courage and sensitivity had been communicated to many canines who loved him, including my own. He was a true dog whisperer, and after his death his rare vision might now be lost at Seacrest. The property of the kennel is now waiting for the hotel chain which bought that prime spot along the coast annexed by the City of Carlsbad, so perhaps the personnel and facility have not had the heart nor funds to improve. Talk about tragedy, that history was the tragedy of Seacrest, A fine business and a fine young trainer have been lost.
