We have boarded our puppies and taken part in basic obedience class at Stone Meadow. Their patience, humor, understanding, and expertise are unmatched. We had a last-minute need for boarding for our puppies who were on a few medications. Mary accommodated and was able to walk our dogs separately because they had a stomach bug. Needless to say, we won’t bring our dogs anywhere else now. We are almost done with our basic obedience course and our pups have learned a lot. We are excited to sign up the levels of training! Thank you Mary and Melissa! ?

Since 1999, we have taken our 2 Australian shepherds to this kennel for grooming (not boarding). The staff are friendly and accommodating. The groomer shows her beagles at dog shows across the country, including Eukanuba & Westminster. She is very savvy at how to groom many different breeds. We take our dog there every 1 to 2 months, based on time of year. If ever there is an issue, it is easy to discuss & resolve the issue with the groomer. Her grooming place is clean and does not smell foul, as the previous reviewer stated in 2012. The floors of the boarding kennel have hot water heating. We choose to not board our dogs anywhere. They are a core part of our family and go with us or else we hire someone to stay with them/check in on them if we need to be away. Thru the years, we have learned how much skill, patience and physical effort/labor is involved in grooming a dog. We highly value this groomer, her skills & personalty & would never go anywhere else. Also, if you message Mary, she normally replies within 24 hours. We cannot say enough positives about this groomer! Her other forte is training dogs & their parents,via AKC-based curriculum. With our previous aussie, Sir Bentley, we did a series of 7 Canine Good Citizen Classes, which served us well, all of Bentley's life and into our next 2 aussies' lives.
