Great place for the dog to hangout and socialize! We always watch for the photos after he’s been there for an extra dose of cuteness. Also great for when you want to get out of town for just a day trip but can’t bring the fur babies.

I’ve heard nothing but good reviews about Ski High. I took my 4 month old border collie there, informed them he is high energy and didn’t have a lot of experience with other dogs. He weighs 20 LBS. At first they told me not to worry about it they deal with that all the time. His first visit went well, some issues but they would work with him. His second visit they explained the challenges he was having playing with other dogs but that they believed he would acclimate. I asked if he could still attend ski high cause I think he really enjoyed it. They told me of course he could come back, we love having him and will continue working with him. So today he went for his third visit and although they told me he was having the same issues they basically didn’t want him back. They said in a nice way of course however they did not tell me anything different from the 2nd visit. They just gave him the boot. I get it that all dogs don’t work out but his behavior was no different today than it was in the second visit when they had no issue with me bringing him back So, either something happened today that they didn’t tell me about or it depends on who’s behind the counter that day. Not a fan……..

My dog LOVES Skyhi! I take him twice a week and he crys of joy the entire car drive there and pulls me all the way to the door. They take pictures throughout the day and always have a daily theme. The staff are great. This place is amazing!

SkyHi is great. My dog has been going since he was a puppy and absolutely loves it. He comes home tired and happy, giving me the night off of exercising him - a win, win for dogs & owners! Worth every penny.

I'm very disappointed in my experience with SkyHi Kennels. I just moved back to Helena from IN and was looking forward to getting all 3 of my dogs started. I was lucky enough to get 2 of my 3 dogs set up for a trial day before I started work, but my third dog was too young to go. I tried to book for daycare twice and both times they were at capacity. Fair enough, but it might be time to think about more staff or expanding the facility if this is going to be a continual issue. My biggest issue is the requirement that the first sessions must be a half day, and they must be on a weekday. This is a humongous barrier for anyone who works outside their home full time. Now that my third dog is old enough to go, I wanted to see if the half day could be done on a Saturday when i have the ability to come get him at lunchtime. I tried to discuss this issue with a staff member and was just told that there was nothing they could do for me and that I should take my business elsewhere, no attempt to even work things out or find some compromise. I had heard such great things, so I'm really disappointed that this is how business is done at Sky Hi.

I would not recommend this place. They do not have competition so they are able to provide day care but lack training. We have a 4 year old lab mix, he is vocal in his play but never aggressive. In fact if he is approached by another dog that barks and snarls at him, he will sit and not engage. He does in new situations occasionally try to mount another dog. However this behavior does stop once his excitement goes down. We received a call that he was being aggressive. We went and they showed us a video. To say I was stunned that this was what they were labeling is an understatement. My dog tried to mount -the other dog growled at him. He immediately go off, he jumped back and assumed play behavior position, he barked as a play bark not a demand bark, of hey lets play. The other dog growled at him again so he walked away. Clearly shows that he completely disengaged. There was one staff member there that did seem to have some knowledge but she was not there today. The staff today clearly do not know how to course correct and frankly seem to be untrained. I guess you can do that when you have no competition. My dog went to a very large vet care associated day care center prior to moving to MT. The staff were very knowledgeable and he passed a temp test with flying colors. Friendly with all size of dogs. He was very loved by the staff and had favorite doggie daycare friends. He was always excited to go. Never a single issue. I should have listened to him when he clearly did not want to go back to SkyHi. Seems like time for a new day care center to be developed in Helena. SkyHi needs some education.
