Pet Boarding Training in Wilmington

“Rainy day = fun day at Hounds Town! Great way to spend a yucky day- playing with friends.“

“Kate is so good that I don’t even recognize my own dog’s behavior anymore (for the way better).I keep saying to my wife, “whose dog is this, it’s not our dog, cause our dog pulls on his leash and doesn’t listen and this new dog is a perfect gentleman in the streets!” We have a different dog now after Kate has worked with him. He walks right next to us and is mindful and listens! We can take him places we never could before. It’s incredible and equally incredible is how fast the transformation happened! Would highly recommend and have recommended her every chance I get.“

“My baby goes for a full groom. He always comes home looking so good and smelling amazing. Love the grooming services.“

“Is this the same dog?
This is the response I get from those who have known Percy since before we started with Bradley at K9 Off Leash Dog Training. We were at our wits end with a 70lb big boy who pulled, lunged, and fought every step of his walk. We were tired of having our arms yanked around like a rag doll. Bradley evaluated us and our doggo. He set us up with a program perfect for us. We learned so much! Evaluating environments, triggers and markers, commands, and rewards. He truly set Percy up for success. Within a month we noticed the change. Percy was much more confident and relaxed. We were much more confident and relaxed. Best of all, we could walk down the street and handle situations like a pro. Teaching us as a team made this training much more than “basic training.” It was a life-altering journey. We plan to do the advanced training with Bradley and K9 Off Leash Dog Training to continue this run of confidence and give Percy the amazing life he deserves.“

“I couldn’t begin to mention to mention how great our puppy preschool experience was but I’ll try! Definitely was very eye opening on how much we should be doing ourselves in assisting our dog in training and not expect our pup to train herself. The classes taught us much more than they taught her… so I highly recommend it for people that want to do things right at home. Don’t expect to go in and sit and watch and not participate in your pup’s training… which may have been the most valuable lesson. Looking forward to the more advance classes and day trainings in the near future!Just as a 2024 update, we signed up our pup, who did puppy preschool, to the freedom class where it teaches her (and us) how to use an eCollar for walking, placing, urgent scenarios, etc. and this one may have been as fun as the preschool class. She has learned alot more confidence with this one and alot more skills for her to be able to walk around our neighborhood, or the beach, or sit at a restaurant. With this class, we still have lifetime support and access to additional once a week support classes. Definitely have a ton of value with working with them and we are so impressed that our pup has a ton of skill from all of this training and she is barely 1 year old. Next pup (or pups) will definitely go through these trainings again and couldn't recommend them more for your pups too.“

“Lainie is the best! We have been taking our 6 month old puppy to classes for several weeks now and she loves it! She always has the best time and we’ve learned so much from Lainie. We really appreciate the insight she offers on the way dogs communicate and understand us. Couldn’t recommend Pawsitive Pup enough!“

“From day one I was impressed with Dr. Dugan, Susie and his friendly staff. Been seeing them for a couple years for routine services for my two little pups. this week had to take one of our pups in for teeth cleaning and removal on bump. She had to be put under and my husband and I were frightened. Procedure went smoothly and we were kept in the loop on her progress during the day. Highly recommend this practice!“

“Julie reassured me that my doodle boy would be a good fit for her class. The difference in him just on day 1 was amazing. Six weeks later he “graduated” with so much confidence and so did I! We are looking forward to the next level class. Julie has a wealth of knowledge about dogs and their behavior and teaches owners how to think like a dog which makes learning how to work with them so much fun. She also has a real love for and understanding of how they tick. This class has been a game changer for me and my boy. Thank you Julie and Einstein’s Canine College.“

“We took our 5 month old male cavalier to Margi for a private lesson. We learned SO much in one short hour. She helped solve our biggest problem with him pulling on the leash, by simply showing us a new harness and how to use it. Our dog is smart and he adapted almost instantly. She really knows her stuff and we do intend to return to her for more lessons. She's worth every penny!“

“We bring our two cats here for rabies shots and exams. The staff is great and I would feel comfortable coming here if anything major ever happened to our cats.“

“Dr. Batts and everybody on his team are amazing. All our phone calls were returned same day and all our questions answered. Attention to detail on every level is great. Our dog had 2 major surgeries. Time was taken to explain every step. We knew exactly what to expect and what to do.“

“I highly recommend DogWatch of the Carolina Coast. Their communication and customer service is excellent. I just moved to the area and had an Invisible Fence brand at our previous house. DogWatch is a superior product and the personal/professional service from this local business is what everyone wants when purchasing a product. Thank you! I will defiantly use your services for our next home to give our dog freedom and keep him safe.“

“Took my dog to get groomed for the first time here and will definitely be coming back! The staff was extremely nice and the price for a basic groom was great! 10/10“

“Very friendly staff! Brought my kitten in for a check up and Dr O’Kane was very kind and knowledgable! Staff was very friendly and making an appointment was very easy!“

“Excellent dog training, options for puppy training, play time, and ongoing, very friendly and safe place, Excellent, knowledgeable, patient trainers“

“Team was pretty awesome with the vet techs and Dr. very helpful and knowledgeable. Only reason I am giving 4 stars is that the reception desk wasn’t quite as welcoming. Some were very nice but most appeared they were only there to do a job. Trinity however was very friendly and bubbly. Keeping my fur babies here for now.“

“Still going.... We have been with Highsmith since 2002!
Smart friendly staff!“

“The most caring, helpful and knowledgeable place. Took our puppy for puppy classes and we both learned so much. Thank you so much for helping me and my sweet Zoey. Will definitely be back for more classes!“

“We had just moved to Wilmington and our rescue hound needed some care to his mouth. We has already seen another vet here and did not find the experience satisfactory and hugely expensive for what was provided ( a standard vaccination). Needham was recommended to us. We cannot say enough about how welcoming the space is, how courteous and friendly the staff were and how exceptional Dr. Gentile was in his thorough and knowledgeable approach, his recommendations and the complete lack of "push" for more tests or treatments. Our pup is 8 years old and we had been to many vets over the years - the majority were skilled and provided adequate service, some excellent service - but our wary rescue usually resisted entering a vet building and mostly trembled in the waiting room. Not this time - his tail did not stop wagging and his face was relaxed and happy. Is that not the best recommendation? our canine companions know so much more than we do! The treatment on his mouth is working a dream and the cost was very reasonable.“

“Best pet boarding in town. Great daycare program as well. Would highly recommend it, and there is a full-time Vet on premises for any emergencies“
