The whole place smells bad like they don't clean enough. My little dog is white he was looking more like yellow/ brown. My older dog has so much Anxiety while there. I had used this place before with a different owner and my experience was excellent. Unfortunately not this time. It felt to me just like a business more than they actually care for the animals.

I met with the owner prior to booking and she spent a significant amount of time answering questions and finding about our needs. She suggested something to make Zorro's stay less stressful which worked out very well. Everyone from that visit, drop off and pick up was professional, kind and knowledgeable in their field. Zorro is not a doggie day care kind of dog. I left him feeling that he was safe and and being well taken care of.

My dog Chewy loves this place! We've been bringing him here now for about a year.. we moved from…read moreHawaii so it took some time to find a place that fit our crazy hyper active dog's needs! What did we like? Facility - We were looking for a place with an area outside that has actual grass and the other kind they can still play on that doesn't get them all muddy. The other daycare and boarding places didn't have much room for pups to run around or it was just a warehouse and no grass. I swear my dog held his pee until we picked him up and walked him to the grass. This place has lots of room to run around and make them tired! They've got separate indoor areas for doggies that either need a break, a nap or just wants to sit up front with the staff. Staff - The staff is amazing!! They do get to know your dog because they are all animal lovers and they know their behaviors! It's so nice when we walk in and they're already greeting Chewy by name. He loves walking in here, he knows as soon as we turn into the parking lot and just pulls us right inside! It seems they always have fun working there and there's always a celebration, like a doggy birthday or pajama theme day or something. Fun staff for sure! Pricing - very affordable! They do half days and full days. The boarding at night is well priced as well.. and we know our Chewy will be able to run around and play during the day. Grooming - they do grooming, baths and nail trimming too! Cons Only thing i was concerned about in the beginning was not any staff present at night time when you board your dog overnight... but the staff reassured us there are alarms and systems in place where staff would be readily available if needed. They all live really close by. So it hasn't been a problem for us at all! I highly recommend this place for all you doggy needs! If they need exercise, socializing or just doggy friends instead of being home alone.. this is the place for them!

I had first come to this office after experiencing frustration and hopelessness with my cat. He was older at the time and we couldn't get a diagnosis. Had a diagnosis after the 1st visit to this office. Unfortunately we found my boy had FIV. He was 19 and didnt have much longer after diagnosis. But Melissa did absolutely everything in her power to make him as comfortable as he could be in the mean time. I had an apt. For euthanasia bc he stopped eating and it was time but we never made it. I had to take him somewhere in the middle of the night I adopt a cat shortly after who has a lot of allergies & some health issues. They have been with me every step of the way. DR. Taketoshi is very no BS. So I could see how some ppl would take her wrong but that is something I appreciate about her. Very sad to hear they are closing. I will be forever grateful for them.

Remember to ask questions about what is included with your daily package. You can add additional services for a small fee. You'll need a vaccine certificate from your vet as well as a current rabies certificate. You can bring their favorite bed and a toy. If you prefer they eat what they eat at home, you can bring their food and treats. I label everything so there is no confusion. They will do their best to accommodate your fur baby. My baby was a senior so he came with his on set of health concerns and the staff attended to all his needs including his medication. I actually took my baby there to spend half a day, just to see how he did and give the staff a chance to see how he reacted to his environment away from home! They have special treats, like pizza night and bagel mornings along with summer swim if you desire. Check out all they have to offer! Country Pet Lodge came highly recommended by my vet and k9 and service dogs local organizations! I was extremely happy with their services!

I used to live on a farm and Jamie would live at the farm while we were away. Now that we've downsized, my dogs usually stay at Training Aces but Jamie still feeds the birds and waters my plants. My dogs LOVE going to Training Aces! They run right over to the gate, tails wagging. Last year, I had to be away for a month. I was very upset thinking about leaving my guys for that long. I shouldn't have worried! Being with Jamie is like being at home for my pups. They laze on the sofa, sleep in Jamie's bed, and have the run of the spacious fenced-in yard. They have other dogs to play with and they all get along. Jamie even sent regular updates and photos. Trust Jamie and Training Aces to give your pet the excellent care they deserve!

We have a 2 year old Mastiff who has had all of her basic obedience training. She's a sweet girl…read morewho gets along with everybody, people and dogs alike. Pictures of her playing with a Chi Chua Chua are too cute. But, there were two behavior problems we couldn't fix on our own. The first is that she could go from zero to ten in excitement level seemingly in a split second. When someone came to the door, this docile sleepy girl would bark and run out of control full speed from one end of the house to the other. A 130 pound dog running out of control is a recipe for disaster for grandkids and adults and houses alike. The second problem was though she responded very well to "come" when in the house, it was a different story when off leash at the dog park. We'd say "come" and she would look over her shoulder as she continued on her own merry way. Jamie came to both our home and to our dog park so that he could observe my wife's and my own behavior as well as observe first hand the behavior of our dog. He spent time watching and asking questions. He gave us homework to do between visits. And he thoroughly explained why he gave us the assignments he did so that we would understand why we were doing what we were doing. In addition to home visits, we at one point boarded our dog with Jamie for three days and Jamie used that time to continue and reinforce the training. Now we have the dog that we never in our wildest dreams thought we'd have. When the grand kids are here, (3 yrs & 6 yrs.) she can usually be found lying down maybe 7 or 8 feet away. When their toys are all over the floor, she ignores them. When they're eating at their own kid sized picnic table (right about chin level for the dog) she goes no where near them. And when they pet her, she just stands there and wags her tail. Her biggest fault with them now is to give an unexpected and uninvited sloppy kiss! When the doorbell rings, I simply have to say "hey," and she quiets right down. When guests enter the home she's not permitted to run up and greet them. Only after everyone is in and settled do I let her know that she can now greet them calmly. Now at the dog park, life is good. When I say "come" she stops whatever she's doing and comes. Even if she's in the midst of playing with one of her dog friends, she comes. To avoid any escalation, I've called her away from an unfriendly and snarling dogs, and she responds instantly to my command to "come". Sometimes she's off and sniffing something and then discovers that we're now maybe 50 yards ahead of her and she comes a running! And we're now at the point that there are no treats or rewards for obeying, other than a quick pet and a "good girl!" Jamie gave us the dog we dreamed about but never really thought we would have. Jamie is knowledgeable, patient, insightful, very skillful, and caring. He has certainly found his niche as a dog trainer. We would recommend Jamie and Training Aces, NJ without reservation.
