Pet Boarding Training near Hopkinton

“Started training with Sol in June for help with my 1.5 year old Great Dane. Id been to 2 trainers and progress was slow with many major setbacks. Time was against me; my dog was growing so fast approaching 140lbs and extremely strong. He was heavier and stronger than me. I had just experienced being dragged across the street so my dog could tackle 2 dogs and knock down the owner. I was at rock bottom, this dog needed help or I would have to re-home him. I wasn't sure I had what it would take to fix or if he was even fixable. I needed help ASAP. I emailed Sol and he responded within hours and we had a session 2 days later. I noticed an improvement after 1 session and just completed my 4th class today. I drive 1.5 hours each way to see Sol because his training is worth it. I have a completely different understanding of human/dog dynamics, obedience and how to achieve it. I now have a dog that is confident, balanced and knows who is in charge. People stop me and comment how well behaved my dog is. I purposely didn't review Sol right away because I wanted to see this through. Words of advice....Listen to Sol even if it doesn't make sense, do exactly what he says and be consistent. Words can't express how grateful I am for Sol. His training changed my life.“

“I brought my puppy in for his first full groom and I couldn't be happier. The staff are very warm and friendly. The space is very clean and bright. My boy loved his groomer and looks adorable! I forgot he had brown stripes on his back! We will definitely be going back. Thank you to my friend Coleen for recommending them!“

“I have two dogs and one is reactive to other dogs they were so accommodating to her moving other dogs out of sight so she could enter and leave the building with no stress or incident.“

“Great staff and wonderful with my pup! My pup loves it at Gibson’s!! He has so much fun and can’t wait to go every week!“

“I have been bringing Morgan here for her nails trim for over a year. Being a French bulldog/Pug mix she is never happy with anyone touching her nails.The first few nail appointments were stressful. She was snappy and vocal. Karen and her staff had told me that with regular visits for her nails she would become accustomed to the process. What a transformation!Morgan is still stubborn about walking inside and being brought to a station for her trim. However the trim itself is no longer a problem. Karen and her staff are friendly professionals who have made both of us feel at home and comfortable. I am so happy I made the decision to make The Perfect Paw Morgan's Salon and she's happy too!“

“Life Is Dog has turned our little adorable but wildly lunging hooligan into a delightful, nearly civilized, walkable pup! We have a bit more to go for full civility, but we're sure that Life Is Dog will get us all the way. Great people, great training, much fun, great pride in our very smart pup! Thanks so much!“

“I visited this location for the first time last week, and was pleasantly surprised. There was NO animal or pet food odor at all, unlike many similar stores. It all seemed nice and clean. I was there for the fish section, and the tanks were pretty clean and fish looked healthy. Their live aquarium plant selection was rather small BUT they were almost all in good condition, which is rather rare for chain store plants. Their live Betta fish were all in clean water, and also looked healthy. You can tell a lot about a location by how their Bettas look. As an ex-parakeet parent, I also looked in on theirs, and they, too, looked perky and healthy. I will definitely go again in the future, as long as the standards are being kept up.“

“Jennifer is a wonderful trainer to work with and my husband and I both highly recommend her! The one-on-one sessions provided us weekly opportunities to work on specific things with our puppy. She is extremelyknowledgeable and also open to working on skills and tools you are hoping to develop with your dog. We enjoyed our 8-week training and the added bonus of the puppy socials we're able to attend too!“

“Wonderful service, Nina always returns home happy and smelling good, excellent work.<br>Thank you pink dog ?“

“We started with alpha dog when our German Shepherd was around 7 months old - what a difference already! My only regret is that we didn’t bring him there sooner. Christina is an amazing dog trainer! She really knows what she is doing and cares about the dogs she works with. She has helped us with specific issues we’ve had (getting him used to going to the groomer after a bad experience somewhere else) as well as household manners. Thanks for making training something to look forward to weekly!!“
