Pet Boarding Training near Woburn

“Jen cared for my 11 year old hound mutt Biscuit during my 4 day vacation. She sent photos and texts. It allowed me to know the big guy was happy. She’ll be the first person I call before my next vacation!“

“Craig Cox and his staff are beyond awesome! Watching him do an exam on your dog is so reassuring! He feels every inch for lumps bumps etc. He rotates their legs paws etc checking for limitation or pain. Orders age appropriate labs and is not an alarmist but discusses approaches with you. When it was time for us to say goodbye to our 4 th fur baby he was very supportive, accommodating and kind. I love that my dogs always saw the same vet who knew them well.we will Always be grateful to him and the BEST vet assistant ever Maria“

“We can't say enough good things about Zen Dog! Gordon worked with us very soon after we brought home our 4 month old (adorable, if nippy and jumpy) rescue puppy, the first for our family. It was fantastic to have "Uncle Gordon" work with all 4 of us (2 adults and our 15 and 12 year old kids) in our environment and in a way so we'd all get the same messages and practice the same techniques with our puppy. G explains the "why" behind the training methods to build understanding with us humans and consistency for our puppy. And it works! We're still working on some things, so in visit 2, Gordon helped us focus on they places we were being inconsistent -- so helpful. Nipping is already way down (and no accidents in the house for weeks now!). And if you're not local, still check out Zen Dog comics and podcast!“

“I can’t tell you how pleased I am about the change in my puppies behavior in 1 day. This morning I was not assaulted by a jumping 40lb puppy because I used Elaine’s technique.“

“I have been taking my new puppy to Petiquette for the last four months since we got him and have had such a great experience! Jen and her team have really shown care to us and do a great job with the groom on top of that. Bringing a new puppy to the groomers can be stressful as you want them to have a good experience off the bat. Jen was very welcoming when we wanted to bring Harvey in before his first appointment to socialize him to the new environment as well as Jen and her team, who were so kind and even gave him a little nail trim during his visit! He has had three grooms since then and each one is better and better! They always let us know how he does with each appointment, and they have the patience to work with him as the grooming process is still pretty new! He was having a bad morning when I dropped him off at Petiquette after getting spooked on a walk, but when I picked him up he was all smiles and happy. Samantha did a great job with his most recent groom pictured, and we can’t wait for his next appointment!“

“We adopted a Maltipoo from Wendy Lindquist at Snow Pond Farm
I can’t say enough about how wonderful she is
Our puppy came home and was a delight, it was clear that he received such love and attention , he has such a great disposition . Everyone we meet say s he’s so well behaved for a puppy. Working with Wendy was also such a pleasure , very accommodating and helpful getting us started with a new puppy

She provided a binder with all his paper work along with ,
His blanket, teddy bear, favorite chew toy in an adorable tote bag

I highly recommend snow pond farm“

“Boston Best Dog Walkers are awesome they are super responsive and always accommodating! Aaron and Ryan are fantastic, they always make sure even when last minute changes or plans pop up that they can quickly accommodate our dog (Hank’s) request!“

“I am so thrilled I found North Boston Dog Training! Rhonda trained our very high energy Brittany with the two week board and train! I was very hesitant about the training because Navy has allergies and very sensitive skin (can’t use most training collars) but so glad we sent him. Rhonda listened to our concerns and designed the training around what worked for him. Within two weeks, he is so much better on a leash and is already off leash in our backyard. Before training, I’d literally be in tears during our walks but now I’m skipping and smiling. So thankful for Rhonda and North Boston Dog Training. Will be using them again for any future dog!“

“Highly recommend. Have been sending our dog here regularly for daycare and occasional boarding during the past year. Our pup always comes back tired and happy. The facility is clean and there are cameras so you can see your dog 24/7. They also offer pickup/drop off service at a very reasonable rate.“

“There are no words to truly show how much Dogwood Cottage has meant to us and to our dog, Leo, since we started going in 2021. We had tried a different place before, which made Leo nervous around dogs and humans. When we went to Dogwood, Leo loved playing with the sweet group of dogs that come to daycare- he even has a few girlfriends there now! We love seeing the pictures/videos of him playing with his buddies on the Dogwood Cottage Instagram and seeing how happy he is every time he goes! The love, and attention, and patience that the staff shows Leo continues to be above and beyond— it has helped Leo come out of his shell with humans. I know that a large reason for this staff culture is due to the leadership of Dogwood’s manager, Carl James. Not only is Carl incredibly knowledgable about dogs and their behavior, but I have come to know Carl closely and feel that I can speak to his kindness, dedication, and selflessness. He deeply cares for the dogs that come to Dogwood as well as the satisfaction of their human owners. Carl is responsive, responsible, organized, thoughtful, and I will always completely trust Leo in him and his staff’s care. Carl consistently goes above and beyond. Any place that Carl is, is a place that is lucky to have him and a place that we trust 100%.“

“Bark n' Roll is the best around. They have dedicated staff, are caring and professional.“

“Wonderful place- our pup is excited to go and ready for a nap after an exciting day of play. If for an overnight, great care and stay is individually curated.“

“Our dog LOVES Go Play! We did puppy and basic obedience courses there and she goes weekly for daycare. When they open the door for her to come in our dog runs in and doesn’t look back! Go Play was also super helpful and supportive when we were going through behavioral issues with our dog. They’re so fantastic!“

“Gail and her team are the best! They make my dogs shine, and cats too. Really nice staff also, super friendly and smart. My go to place for grooming!“

“When I moved to East Boston mid 2021 it has been a couple of years since my little guy had been to a structured daycare. By that point there had been a lot of changes in life, personal and work, on top of spending 24/7 by my side the past 2 years. When I mentioned this to a close friend he had nothing but amazing things to say about Harbor Hounds. The amazing difference he saw in his timid pup with her confidence was night and day. While my little dude is anything but timid, his anxiety (seperation and otherwise) was at an all time high.My dog has been at Harbor Hounds for 2 years now and cannot say enough great things. Sarah, Lindsey and the rest of the employees there are beyond kind and caring. No matter the day, every time I drop him off his tail is always wagging. They let Yuki be Yuki all while helping him improve and learn along the way. It's made a huge difference in both his and my life.“

“We used Paws About Town for a few years while we lived in Newton MA. Im a first responder, so i dont have a set weekly schedule. They were the only dog walkers we could find that were willing to work with our schedule. Our dog is a blind Puggle with a big personality. She absolutely loved every time she got to have her play dates with Jason. You can tell he truly loves what he does and cares about each dog. We even had them board her while we went on vacation a couple times. Honestly I'm not sure I would trust anybody more than Paws About Town with my dog.“

“I have attended classes here for over 20 years with three dogs. It was a great experience for all of us.“

“We have used K9 Academy New England for both of our dogs. Matt has worked with them at different stages individually and collectively. He always goes above and beyond to answer questions and he genuinely cares about his craft. I have recommended him to many people and the consensus is the same, HE IS THE BEST. These services are worth every penny, as our dogs are well behaved and we are informed and responsible dog owners, all due to Matt!“

“We have been working with Cara for basic training for our very playful, energetic and friendly 3 month old German Shorthaired Pointer. She has been amazing! Within one session with Cara, we found ourselves with a more manageable puppy. Our puppy also loves working with Cara. Cara really cares about what she does and it definitely shows! She arrives on time and knows exactly what to do. She’s also available to field any questions or troubleshoot any situations for 2 weeks after your session. We highly recommend her to anyone!“

“Great experience with dog training! Worked with James who is an absolute rock star. We've seen immediate improvement in our dog's behavior.“

“The dog groomer, Jonathan, Is not just incredibly kind, he treats each dog like it's his own and that is very comforting. He's very detail oriented so Sammy looks terrific!“

“Hello, good afternoon, I have a kitten and I want to give her up for adoption because I'm moving and they don't accept animals. I would like to know if you can help me with that please.“

“They are so good to my little Laverne! (Even when she makes them work VERY hard to get her blood)“
