Here is a picture of Bubba(and her sibblings). She is the one exposing her belly.
Also of interest to some may be the folowing message left by the Safe Journey Dog Boarding owner, Craig Capley on my voicemail within 4 hours of me picking up my dogs. You'll notice in this early interaction, his story is much different than it is now. http://home.comcast.net/~kylegilmore/capley.mp3

Interseting tale. I will pretend you are not an employee of Safe Journey and offer you "another side" to the story. Below is the exact voicemail Mr. Capley left me when I contacted him upon finding the collar. You will notice that he doesn't mention any of the things that you do in your comments. Now why whoud he leave all that out...? He actually never mentioned anything even remotely resembling what you wrote here. He also made no attempt to contact me when these incidents were allegedly taking place. http://home.comcast.net/~kylegilmore/capley.mp3

I can't beleive this has happened to other pet owner's too! Have you reported this incident to the Better Business Bureau? Currently Craig Capley's Safe Journey Dog Boarding has an "A" rating--one of the highest possible. It doesn't seem like this should be the case considering our experiences.

I am very sorry this happened to your family. Have you reported this incident to the Better Business Bureau? Currently Craig Capley's Safe Journey Dog Boarding has an "A" rating--one of the highest possible. It doesn't seem like this should be the case considering our experiences.

Hello, I am Kyle. Bubba is my dog. I agree with a lot of the comments here—by those who use shock collars and those who don’t. I wanted to provide some additional information that didn’t make it into the story.
It is not my intent to “sensationalize” the collar. I can only explain what I heard and saw when I discovered it, including that Bubba currently has two scabs on her neck, at the exact spacing of the collars prongs. Safe Journey admitted that they used the device to initially “calm” Bubba, and then forgot about it. It was concealed, tucked tight against her skin under her regular collar. She wore it for her entire five day stay.
Bubba has gone to Safe Journey for 4 years. I contacted the previous owners and they said there was never an issue with Bubba. If I pay someone twice as much as conventional boarding and they advertise a specific service, I do not expect for a shock collar to be used. While some people feel shock collars have a place in training, a 5 day window in a 15 dog environment is not a “training” environment. I was never made aware that this was ever an option and I was never contacted at any point during Bubba’s stay.
