Pet Boarding Training near Lake Hopatcong

“Had a great phone call with one of the guys there about my dog getting into my food and trash.The advice he gave me is great.Highly recommended these people. They're pros!“

“We have our 8 month pup currently enrolled at Garden State K9. It has only been two weeks of the day training program and we’re beyond amazed on his progression and skills that Melissa M has taught. She has been consistent and communicative since day 1 and explains everything very thoroughly during our lesson at the end of the week. We will be continuing ongoing training with our pup. Not only is Melissa a fabulous trainer but she has a sweet and friendly personality , along with her love for our pup. We highly recommend Garden State K9 for all ages of dogs.“

“Finding a daycare that truly sees your dog is rare. Finding one that welcomes a tripod pup with open arms, thoughtful accommodations, and consistent care? That felt impossible—until we found Pack Mentality. From the first phone call, the team was warm, patient, and incredibly accepting. After his meet and greet, we left feeling like Mac wasn’t just “allowed” there—he was wanted. We never have to worry about reliability at Pack. Drop offs and pick ups are smooth, and the staff is always prepared for Mac’s arrival. We also appreciate their transparency with daily notes and photo updates. We noticed especially that Pack Mentality really focuses heavily on cleanliness and safety- vaccination verification and clean play spaces. In the few months Mac has gone to Pack, we’ve watched staff greet him by name and get down on his level when saying goodbye. We also noticed how much Mac’s confidence has grown since he has started. Pack Mentality is everything we hoped for in a doggy daycare. They’ve created a safe environment where our tripod dog thrives. Mac runs to the door on daycare days and comes home happy, and especially, TIRED. We couldn’t ask for more from and we recommend them wholeheartedly to anyone looking for a daycare that treats your dog like family.“

“Petra’s staff takes great care of the dogs and sends pictures daily! Really love sending my dog here!“

“My dog is always happy tsee everyone and comes home tired. I never worry about her when she is in their care. and believe me I do not trust many people with my dog so that is high praise!“

“I cannot say enough good things about Northcliff Kennels! We have been bringing our dog here for years, and Chuck and Pam and their staff are absolutely incredible. The facilities are top-notch, and they are so accommodating even in unforeseen or last minute events they always do what they can to help out and take care of our pup. Our dog is not very social, but gets so excited when she realizes she’s going to Northcliff and absolutely loves the staff! Cannot recommend enough!“

“Kasper loves camp! He seems to know where he is going and gets very excited. He comes home exhausted from all the running and playing. The staff is wonderful.“

“Best vets and staff ever! In all my years as a pet owner I have never been happier with the attention paid to my pets. They really get to know you and your pretty and spend real time with them. If I could give 10 stars I totally would!“

“First time at Petco and it was great - my dog sukis haircut was beautiful- finally someone who understands different type of dogs or what the customer wants“

“Diane is a literal God send!! I work terrible hours and because of that it was so hard to find a daycare that was open as long as I needed him to be watched. She is always so accommodating and works with my schedule. My dog has been going there for about 6 months now for daycare and absolutely loves it. 10/10 recommend especially fellow first responders with crappy schedules“

“We took our Labrador to Kerfree for whelping service. After the pups were born, they told us everything we needed to do to care for the puppies. We leave our doggos there whenever we travel now.“

“Our dog, Abbey, loves it at Stonehedge! She always comes home exhausted after all the playing and running she does while she is there!“

“Absolutely love this place. Took the agility course and plan to continue to do so. The facility is great and so is Amber. Highly recommend!“

“Excellent for personal dog sitting in a private home. Not like a kennel. They have fenced in yards and dogs are allowed on furniture and beds.Just make sure to book early.“

“Elvine is the best ! So knowledgeable and caring! She helped us so much with our first puppy and really cares“

“My COVID project was to do something I always wanted to do but never had the time to do it. I wanted to be trained, and to train a dog to become nationally pet therapy certified and bring smiles to any and all faces! I know what joy they bring to my life and I just want to bring that joy to others even if it’s only for a little while. Maverick and I did all of our training and graduated within 1 year of getting him at 8 weeks old. I will never forget one of the reviewers taking me aside and informing me how exceptional Maverick was with the kids, and that I should think about going into Elementary schools. I took her advice, even though that wasn’t my original plan. We have been attending two different Elementary schools going on our second year now. We also do a group session once a month with the elderly. If our patients are home bound we make visits to their home. When I put his bandanna around his neck he knows it’s therapy time. He is so comfortable and confident he struts his stuff walking down the hallway! He knows what he is supposed to do and is more than happy to oblige. I just sit back and watch him smile, watch the people smile, and then I smile. I am very grateful for TDI and the many lives it has and will change.“
