There were the sounds of dogs barking and whimpering from a shed in the back. And even though she wouldn't answer questions about her credentials; she wanted to take 180.00 an hour for us to leave our senior fur baby there so she could "train" him!! Oh NO! She is not a nice person, and I can't tell if those dogs in the shed are customers ' or maybe she's also operating a puppy mill. I wouldn't be surprised.

Newton Animal Hospital saved my baby angel's life, and I will forever be grateful…read more From the moment we walked in during one of the hardest and scariest times of our lives, the compassion, understanding, and professionalism shown by Newton Animal Hospital was beyond anything we could have hoped for. Dr. Barron and the entire staff were absolutely amazing. They treated my baby not just as a patient, but as family. They listened, explained everything clearly, showed genuine care, and were willing to work with us during an incredibly emotional and stressful situation. Their kindness, patience, and empathy meant the world to us. You can truly tell that this team loves what they do and deeply cares about the animals and families they serve. In a moment where we felt helpless and afraid, they gave us hope--and they saved my baby angel's life. Thank you, Dr. Barron and staff, for your dedication, compassion, and for going above and beyond when it mattered most. I will never forget what you did for us. I highly recommend Newton Animal Hospital to anyone looking for exceptional veterinary care with a heart.

I have been to this hospital a few times they're horrible. I would not recommend them even if my…read moredog was dying. I would drive an hour to another hospital. My last straw with this clinic was when my dog was sick he had diarrhea. It was pretty bad and I brought them in. He really just needed maybe a anabiotic and something for the diarrhea. They gave me an estimate that was like $1000. They wanted me to run all these tests and told me they would not treat my dog unless I paid for these tests and I said that's ridiculous so I picked up my dog left called my regular vet in the morning brought him in my regular vet charged me for a regular office visit and gave him an anabiotic and something for the diarrhea. Saw the test they wanted ran and said we don't recommend them. My other issue was my dog was this was a different time was pooping worms they were crawling down his legs up his back. It was the most disgusting thing I wanted to bring them in right away, cause I couldn't have this in my house. Of course it was a puppy that we have gone and he was wormed twice and still could not get rid of the worms so we knew exactly what the problem was. They would not treat him for worms unless I had a stool sample so I got a cup caught the worms as they dropped from his butt held out the cup and said now, can you treat him for worms? It was totally ridiculous. They are the worst. Do yourself a favor go somewhere else

She is going back soon and I know she will love it. The owner is fabulous and also has her masters degree in Animal Behavior.

I took my dog here only because it was recommended. I have an 8 year old Aussie (boy dog named…read moreSasha) who I have never boarded or left at any type of dog daycare. I've always been hesitant to leave my dog off with a stranger. Especially since I know that my dog is a bit anxious when left with new people (even for a few minutes). He has only ever stayed with my parents and siblings. When I got there, it was a fenced in house with a lake and a lot of space. Gabbie met my dog first before introducing him to any other dogs. She asked us questions, and we explained Sasha's personality. She then introduced our dog to her dog, and observed their energy. Then she brought out one dog at a time until all dogs were out and were able to meet my dog. This gave me a good feeling, because she obviously knew what she was doing. It was not a place where my dog was put in a cage, but a place where he was part of a group. When I left he gave me the you-are-abandoning-me look. I am not the type of person to really worry, but it was great that a few hours later, i got a message from Gabbie saying my dog had settled in nicely. She sent me a picture of him, and when i checked the next day, she had dozens of pictures of the activities all the dogs did for the day. At that point I knew my dog probably already forgot who i was and was having the time of his life. I picked him up 2 days later, and he came out like if he owned the place. He came out with his head up, a smile one his face, and a tail that wagged 100 wags/second. I would recommend this place to anyone. Sasha will be back this month!

I can't recommend Nancy at Know Your Dog Training highly enough…read more After doing extensive research to find the right trainer, I'm so glad I found Nancy. From the beginning it was clear that she has a deep understanding of dogs and brings a calm, confident, and professional approach to everything she does. My dog Kane completed a training program with her, and I was extremely impressed with the experience and the results. Nancy takes the time to truly understand each dog and provides the kind of structure, guidance, and consistency that helps dogs thrive. Since then, Nancy has also become my trusted go-to whenever I travel. Knowing Kane is in her care gives me tremendous peace of mind. He always comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. What really sets Nancy apart is the level of attention and personalization she provides. This isn't a typical boarding situation -- she genuinely gets to know the dogs she works with and creates a thoughtful, structured environment for them. Nancy is trustworthy, caring, extremely knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. I'm very grateful I found her and would recommend Know Your Dog Training without hesitation to anyone looking for a skilled trainer or a safe, reliable place for their dog while they're away.

Nancy was referred to me by another trusted dog trainer I worked with in the city, and I'm so glad…read moreshe was. Having a city dog isn't easy -- our 4-year-old Wheaten Terrier (female) has tons of energy, a stubborn streak, and some anxiety and reactivity issues around other dogs. We were looking for help with leash training and overall confidence, and Nancy was the perfect fit. From the very first interaction, Nancy was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. She clearly loves what she does and cares deeply about every dog she works with. I enrolled our pup in a month-long board-and-train program while I was getting married, and Nancy made the experience completely stress-free. She stayed in constant communication, sending regular updates, photos, and videos that showed the progress and the specific behaviors being worked on -- plus advice for us as owners to reinforce at home. When our dog came back, the difference was night and day. She's calmer, more responsive, and walks beautifully on a leash with far fewer distractions. Her reactivity around other dogs has improved dramatically, and she seems much more confident overall. Even after the program ended, Nancy went above and beyond -- she included additional follow-up lessons at no cost and still checks in to see how things are going. Her board-and-train setup is amazing too: the dogs aren't kept in kennels but get to enjoy the outdoors, sunshine, and plenty of attention and enrichment. I can't recommend Know Your Dog and Nancy enough for anyone looking for dog training, board-and-train programs, or boarding with a personal touch. Nancy truly changed our dog's behavior -- and our lives -- for the better.

Gina has been coming to visit our 2 parrots, Keesa & Mika, since we moved to this area in 2021…read more We're so happy we've found her. She genuinely loves and cares about parrots, we can feel it. We've never had any issues, and we know that with Gina, our "children" are in great hands. She's very flexible, responsible and communicates well and responds quickly. We'd never want anyone else to care for our parrots. Thank you, Gina. -Pavel & Katya

My husband and I have a very anxious, neurotic (and handsome) doggo. He's highly dog reactive and…read moreenergetic and has a troubled past. We've tried several trainers and boarding facilities in various cities and states. We even resorted to trying a famous YouTube trainer and he came back worse and even more anxious. Typically, these expensive "board and trains" we've participated in have ended with medication recommendations and a "good luck". One final trainer recommended we try Mind Of Dog because she also wasn't able to break through. I'm so grateful we did. He's thriving and comes home exhausted. An added bonus is the people training we've received. The best part of all of it, is that he's finally getting the exercise and structure he's always needed and deserves. They handle the dogs calmly, but with lots of structure and clear boundaries, which our dog desperately needs. We can finally go to work and travel without worrying that he's being mishandled or ignored. We're so grateful to have found this place and I have to admit, I was waiting for him to fail again, because we had lost all hope. I highly recommend that you give Mind Of Dog a shot, especially if you're in a similar position as we were. Thanks, Mind of Dog! Senna loves you all and is so grateful to be able to play with dogs without fear and anxiety.
