Pet Boarding Training near Burlington

“I cannot say enough positive things about one Fetch the Leash! Trainer, Olivia, specifically. I signed DCI Luther up for an intense training package (3x per week + 30 min playtime before each training session). He was behind in learning manners and he was a 70 pound, overenthusiastic puppy! Olivia quickly became one of Luther’s favorite people in the WORLD. She so obviously has a passion for helping dogs to grow and has a sincere affection for them. Luther mastered ‘sit’ and ‘down’ quickly and started rapidly improving on the leash so I’m no longer being pulled down the street while walking and then dragged like a rag doll for a greeting when he sees another dog. The training focuses on positive reinforcement and it moves at the dog’s comfort level - mind you that means not always as quickly as fur parents may want. But when the pups learn something they REALLY learn it. The training isn’t just for the 4-legged. I was taught an alternative way to hold the leash and my arm/shoulder are grateful. The tips and tricks for distraction and redirection of behavior are INVALUABLE.We moved a lot when he was a puppy so he was under-socialized and it’s left him with a lot of quirks: He’s super sweet and naive and also a very aggressive greeter which is a bad combo since he doesn’t pick up on ‘leave me alone’ cues right away. He also has random fears: wheelchairs, strollers, flickering lights, etc. so there is still plenty to work through! We also still travel a lot but I’ll be getting Luther back into training with his bestie as soon as we get back to Burlington!“

“Our baby- Kona loves it here so much. He’s unfortunately had a lot of health issues and Donna and Heather are so understanding. We feel so safe bringing him here because of their level of care, consideration and high standards for the health of all the dogs.It’s clean and Kona is always happy. We hope to continue to be able to bring our puppy here for years to come!“

“My dog Daisy began PDP a little over a year ago, and I could not be more ecstatic to share my experience and recommend PDP highly! As a smart, high energy Aussie, my girl has been surrounded by caring, well-trained, observant and wonderful people at PDP on Williston Rd. She has learned to temper her approach with a wide variety of other dogs, vocalize her limits, communicate her needs, engage otherwise timid or reserved dogs, and even demonstrate “how” to play appropriately with dogs new to the group doggy daycare scene. She attends the Enrichment Day programming one day each week, and receives structure, games, obstacle courses, puzzles, and small group engagement. This is ideal for Aussies! She comes home very tired and happy! The low capacity design of Williston Rd. is also a feature that’s perfect for her. Thank you, PDP staff! You’re all amazing!“

“Exceptional experience. We have done 2 training classes with Lori (puppy and basic obedience) and recently private sessions for our new puppy with food aggression as well. Her attention to detail, structure and focus on creating canine good citizens and educated pet parents is by far the best in the area. HIGHLY recommend for those seeking training - you won't find better!“

“They took our very furry dog and transformed here into a Poodle. She was happy after, they did a great job for a reasonable price!“

“So last night mom & I went to Cloverfield K-9 in Colchester to work on Cirilla’s confidence, I felt she lacked confidence and I wanted to expose her to some surfaces/items that’s not common but where she would maybe one day encounter it… me being the dog momma I am was super nervous that we were gonna have to work on so much…. Cirilla once she warmed up proved me otherwise and blew me out of the waters, I think I picked my jaw up off the floor yesterday more than I ever have… this strong willed girl of mine just started jumping and exploring on her own and even attempted a very high A-Frame by herself…. I’m talking like a 10ft one. To see her come out of her shell yesterday blew me away. I am beyond proud of my little spunky girl. We’re gonna continue to go back because Laura was very helpful with not only Cirilla but me understanding what was going on and how to work with things on her. Thank you Cloverfield for helping me & my dog work on things together as a team.“

“This family operated enterprise is outstanding! Liz and Garth put a great deal of time into getting to know the dogs and how to create healthy social groups for them. The groups are small, the place is very clean, and I never worry because the care is the best!“

“They treated Miley great. They were very interested in making sure my dog Miley was happy. 5 + stars. Thank you.“

“Working with Nancy at VT Alpine Dog changed my dog's life. I adopted Faline at 1 year old as a very reactive and defensive american staffordshire terrier. I was able to adopt her because of the obedience training Faline had already completed with Nancy. For the next two years, Nancy answered every question or phone call and provided me with the tools to help Faline grow out of her aggressive tendencies. I don't know where we'd be today without her mentorship and dedication. Now, living in the DC Metro Area, she's still the only dog trainer I'll ever consider and I have no hesitations making the 10 hour drive back to VT because I know working with Nancy is worth it!“

“Specializes in training for competitive agility. Great instructors teaching a wide variety of classes and seminars for all levels of dogs and handlers.“

“Absolutely adore Oh My Dog! My girl goes a couple times a week and she always sleeps like a rock those nights. She gets so excited when we turn down the road to daycare, she knows what’s coming! She is always excited to see who greets her at the door and the staff knows the names of the dogs which I think is super cute and personable. I 110% trust this facility with my sweet pup (who is basically my child) and I know she is in good, caring hands. 11/10 recommend for dog parents!“

“My dog comes home happy. He wags his tail when he's getting dropped off and he sleeps soundly when he comes home.

I've only done the day care, but the more times we visit, the easier it is to drop off and pick up. Most of the staff remember his name and he's only been there a dozen times!

I've heard they had a shake up in staff during COVID, but the ones I've met here now seem genuinely caring. The facilities are adequate and I feel relaxed knowing my dog is with some friends.“

“In terms of varieties of Guinea pigs, parakeets, geckos, fish, specialized pet foods and treats/ collars,etc., PetSmart is wonderful. I liked the knowledgeable PetSmart representative who fielded my questions about fish filters. I had the sense that he was an expert on fish. This store is huge ! It is beautifully organized and very clean. Staff members are variously busy with projects: cleaning cages, cuddling Guinea pigs, emptying litter box displays, and grooming pets. Their staff is professional and accommodating; and, returns are easy . The community is very fortunate to have a PetSmart here.“

“My cat gets pretty stressed out for her appointments, but I feel like this is the least stressful environment I've been able to find for her. I can tell that this is a space created by people who really love cats. Everyone is always so kind and helpful, and I love the detailed notes I get sent to my email after every visit!“

“Pleasant staff. Listened to my description of how I wanted dog’s hair cut and actually did it—first time ever on 6 years of getting my dog groomed. Kudos to this team!❤️“
