Pet Boarding Training near Amherst

“I would like to highly recommend Chris. I had been going through some tough times and my SCWT Penny apparently was too. She was very distressed and anxious and Chris was so helpful in guiding both me and Penny. He actually was kind enough and understanding by helping me get her to the veterinarians as she was not easy to get into a vehicle without extreme stress. Since that time, she has come a long way, me too! Chris took the time to listen and presented methods to guide us along. We are so thankful. Give him a call, he won't disappoint!“

“We do Fast Tract there with our whippets. Great place and great people. The grounds are very nice and the inside is very large and accommodating“

“If I could give this 10 stars, I would. We did Puppy Beginner and Puppy Intermediate for a total of twelve weeks with our puppy Scout. I just can’t say enough about Ashley—her enthusiasm, her sense of humor, her incredible energy, her knowledge about dogs and her ability to translate that into concepts that were understandable for humans in combination with her exceptional teaching style make for a very powerful combination. It was truly enjoyable for us and our new baby boy, and I can’t recommend it highly enough“

“Maribeth, owner and dog trainer at Wagging Tail Academy, came highly recommended to me and I am eternally grateful for having found her. She is the most down to earth, kind, and caring person you will ever meet.She is the dog whisperer -- she truly understands each dog's behaviors, personalities, thought processes, and feelings. She is hyper aware of their sensitivities and reservations, and always finds a way to creatively tailor her lessons to what is best for each dog. She is a goldmine of information; I use what she has taught me in my day-to-day interactions with my dog, and it has really strengthened our bond. Plus, she's always willing to answer my questions, and I ask a LOT of questions!Most importantly to me -- she is the only dog trainer in New Hampshire that I have found (and I did a lot of research before landing on her) that *actually* uses *positive* reinforcement and *kind* training methods. She does not use any fear or punishment-based methods (e.g. pinch/prong or shock collars), and what she teaches actually makes sense and does work, the key is *consistency*.I have an extremely sweet and social pup who is too smart for her own good, and as a result can be very stubborn, but she is not aggressive at all and would never hurt anyone. When another training facility in the area suggested a pinch collar, due to my pup's "lack of respect," I was extremely uncomfortable. This method felt outdated and inappropriate for my pup. Shortly afterwards Maribeth was recommended to me, and I'm so glad I listened to my gut and took my pup to Wagging Tail Academy.I will continue to shout Maribeth's name and Wagging Tail Academy from the rooftops. They offer private lessons and group classes, and what you learn will be useful for your entire lifetime if you have or are around dogs. Her prices are fair and worth every penny.Thank you Maribeth, for everything you have done for me and my Roo, and for the dog community as a whole! <3“

“We brought our Golden boy Mowgli in for his first professional groom and I could not be happier with the results! They did an awesome job with his paws and a minimal trim just cleaning him up but keeping his double coat intact, his fur is so soft and he looks so handsome and happy !“

“Spa day for senior. Dog loves the attention, and staff takes good care of him. Would not hesitate to leave him there for the day if needed“

“The staff was very nice and provided me with all of the information that I requested. The doctor was very helpful and went over everything in great detail which was very appreciated.“

“My dog is usually scared of strangers but he gets so excited every time we bring him to daycare. The staff are awesome“

“A walk in clinic on a Sunday evening for our elderly cat was very much appreciated. The Vet Dr Casna listened and was compassionate, discussed realistic options and did not push a bunch of unnecessary tests- and explained why. I wish there were more people Doctors who were as compassionate and caring. The front desk registration person was also very kind and personable.“

“My wife and I waited until the last minute to book our dogs for boarder. Kary came through in the clutch after calling many kennels located closer to our house. Very professional, dogs did great, and unlike previous kennelings, neither repeated stress related anxiety. Great place, highly recommended.Aaron Strickland“
