Pet Boarding Training near Richmond Hill

“Dr Birchler was incredible… I had to put my dog down and him and his staff did such a great job for my dogs final moments.“

“Just had our first visit and I am blown away!!! My 70-lb bully mix, Ferdinand, absolutely hates vet visits and this is the only office that made him feel comfortable enough to even be touched. Dr. East & Jessica were incredibly kind and understanding, even when Ferdie started to act out which I felt so bad about. He didn't need a muzzle during the exam which was shocking because we've tried 4 other vets in the city this year alone, and none of them were able to lay a single finger on him. Dr. East & Jessica sat on the floor with Ferdie and were super reassuring with him the entire time. Even when he started to snap at them, they were so calm and patient as opposed to all the other vets we've tried who got offended and refused to try comforting him. You can tell they truly love animals and had my dog's best interests in mind. The ladies at the front desk were also so lovely. Would highly recommend to anyone on the search for a new vet, especially if you have an anxious baby like mine. I am so grateful I found this office - finally one that I trust and plan to go back to. Thank you to the entire RVCOC team!“

“Dan you are the man. If someone does understand the relation between a pet and its owner, then it is you Dan. What you accomplished is really great. You have bring the bar to the top of Pet care. Thank you for everything you did and will do in the future.“

“This place is wonderful. They are friendly, patient and kind with my dog (Lola). She can can be a handful. I also find the prices reasonable. I strongly recommend this place for anyone looking for an excellent vet for their pet.“

“I took my toy poodle there for a simple nail clipping. Nice place and was greeted by Erica who was very sweet. I’ll return again perhaps for a full grooming for my fur babies. ??“

“They are outstanding. I’ve been brining my baby since she was a pup and is now 4 years old. From the way they treat her with so much love and care to the excellent customer service I receive, I cannot recommend PAWSIES more. They have been dependable and professional from Day 1. Thank you to the team!“

“We brought our dog for grooming, they listened to what we asked for and were very caring with our dog. He looks so cute. We will definitely be back, and for other services as well.“

“In the saddess day, Riverside Animal Hospital treat me and my dog with compation, gave me privacy and time to hold her and say goodbye.“

“Friendly, knowledgeable​ staff. We just started seeing them again, and I do regret switching.“

“Elizabeth and her staff are amazing and your puppy will love going here! We purchased the puppy play and train package for our pup, Champ, and he learned so much/made so many friends. He started classes at around 20 weeks, and took them up until 6 months (he loved it so much we had to purchase additional classes after his play and train package finished). Highly recommend going here for help with general puppy training, tips on walking, help with food guarding and puppy socialization!“

“Great place. If your dog don't fit in with group they give true and sound alternatives for your fur baby. PDC genuinely vare about the well being of our dogs.“

“My husband and I have a five year old Whoodle (wheaten terrier and poodle mix). She has issues with resource guarding with myself and my husband when we are around other dogs. We’ve seen various trainers over the years with mix success and assurance over their credentials.

After long deliberation and research, we decided to get another Whoodle puppy. My husband has allergies to dogs and this is one of the few breeds he has found that do not cause inflammation. I was very anxious about the situation in case our current dog would be aggressive or unsettled with the addition. Before we got the puppy, we consulted with our vet, Heart of Chelsea (who is generally amazing). Heart of Chelsea recommend we contact one of their preferred trainers, which included Amanda Gagnon dog training.

From the point of booking the initial session, they were lovely to work with. Their services might be slightly more expensive that the neighborhood dog trainer, but they are worth every penny as these people are the real deal. Melissa came to our apartment to meet our current dog and help us with some tips on how to integrate a puppy as well as how to approach our dog’s aggressive behavior toward other dogs. Melissa so professional, smart, but also real. It didn’t feel like she was in any way judgmental or condescending. She offered great advice in person and also via email for follow-up questions. We had her come back again after we get the puppy to check-in on approach and progress. Their services SIGNIFICANTLY reduced my angst about the new puppy situation and made me feel like I had realistic, logical, and positive methods to tackle the situation.

I cannot recommend this Company more for care with your beloved dogs. Melissa and Amanda Gagnon are now go-to resources for us in making sure our furry family members are happy and healthy.“

“The staff at Veterinary Care Group are very welcoming and friendly! Every time I visit with my dog, they show her so much love and attention to make her feel comfortable and happy. I don’t understand the reasons why people point out the negatives when the staff are just doing their job to make sure the clients are healthy. I appreciate the care you put into when it comes to Freyja. Good job!“

“We can’t thank Megan enough for helping us. Our dog struggles with being reactive around other people and walks tend to be stressful for him. After working with Megan, we saw a positive change. Her patient approach and understanding of dog behavior made a great difference. Megan taught us how to communicate better with our dog and understand what he needs. We highly recommend Instinct to anyone struggling with behavioral challenges.“

“We've used What's Up Dog for 2 years now and love them. Our corgi is always enthusiastic to return for daycare or boarding!“

“Deanne has been incredibly generous with her time and patience as I navigated life with not just one, but two puppies. Before meeting her, I was honestly feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Through our conversations, I learned so much and was able to refine both my approach and understanding of puppy care.
Whether it was arranging puppy playdates, being a supportive sounding board, or even running home from the park in the pouring rain—puppies in tow—Deanne was always reliable, flexible, and accommodating. Her written summaries were especially helpful for keeping me focused and reminding me of our current goals.
We all have our own ways of communicating and doing things, and I truly appreciated that Deanne created space for a therapeutic relationship to develop at a pace that felt comfortable for both me and my puppies. Her support has made a real difference for us.“

“I can't say enough good things about Strutting Mutts dog walking service! Booking is a breeze—super easy and straightforward. The staff is incredibly friendly and made my dog feel comfortable right away. It's clear they genuinely care about the dogs they walk. I highly recommend their services to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog walker!“

“As first time dog owners, finding a place to send our new pup during the day was stressful. Stephanie welcomed us with open arms and helped us transition seamlessly. She comes with a wealth of knowledge that really calmed us as new dog owners and sends us email updates and pictures throughout the day of our pup. We can tell she loves our baby as much as we do and we couldn’t be happier.“

“If you are from Sunnyside and going on vacation DO NOT use Rover and DO NOT send your dog anywhere else. This place saved our first vacation in years.“

“I love Pet Super Nanny and the staff. It's clean and spacious. The owner is great and cares a lot about providing a high standard of care for the dogs. My dog gets excited every time we walk over for daycare and comes home happy and exhausted.“

“Great vet for standard check ups. Dr. Kirk is great and the staff are amazing - they truly love animals. Only wish their hours were extended; I have to call off work to bring my dogs here, and there’s always a long wait even with an appointment.“

“Huge thanks to the amazing team at Disco Paws! Hobbes’ bath and grooming were fantastic — he’s so happy, smells amazing, and feels unbelievably soft. The whole experience was prompt (under 2 hours!) and seamless. We couldn’t be more grateful!“

“I’ve been bringing my 9 pound toy poodle to get groomed here and when I tell you it’s the best groomer we’ve taken him to in the last few years I mean it! Everything I ask for is achieved every time, the groomers have all been very sweet and I am very happy with their new groomer Estefania. And affordable! Thank you OPIE’S!“

“staff was excellent, very attentive to our dog. They sent us photos every day. We will definitely use Brooklyn Unleashed the next time we need to board our dog.“

“Yana is amazing!!! Right from the start meeting my 1 year old Golden Retriever Cash they bonded great. She was able to educate me on so many things that would help me with him while she trained him. He’s perfect now! She also boarded him and he was a happy boy!“

“Waffles has been going to dog house club for doggy daycare and grooming for over 1 year. He absolutely loves it and so do we. The staff is amazingly kind and we love that it's not a chain daycare place. Waffles is always excited to go and we love seeing the instagram story pupdates.“
