    Country Dogs - Boon sedated and being shaved.

    Country Dogs

    (6 reviews)

    I've been debating whether to share my experience at Country Dogs. I'm not typically a…read moreconfrontational person, and I usually avoid posting negative reviews because I feel for the staff working at places with bad reviews. However, I wish I'd known more about other people's negative experiences with Country Dogs before going through my own. So, as you read this (admittedly long and frustrated) review, please know it's not meant to be disrespectful--just informative for other dog parents about my experience with Country Dogs. My dog, Boon, is an Australian Shepherd--a high-energy breed. He would go to daycare about twice a week because crating him for 8+ hours while my fiancé and I worked wasn't ideal. He's a young, active dog, and without stimulation, he'd have way too much pent-up energy. My fiancé's work schedule usually allows him home on the other days to keep Boon occupied. In August 2024, I dropped Boon, off at Country Dogs around 7 a.m. Everything seemed normal. When I picked him up at 4 p.m., the staff didn't mention anything unusual, handed me his leash, and we headed home. Usually, after daycare, Boon is full of energy/excitement --rubbing his face all over the back seat and sprinting to his water bowl when we get home because he plays hard and forgets to hydrate. That day was different. He didn't rub his face, which I thought was odd, but I figured he was just extra tired from playing. When we got home, I let him out of the car. He jumped down but stumbled, landing awkwardly. My heart sank. Boon is extremely athletic and only 1.5 years old, so this was alarming. Then, as I watched him struggle up the stairs, I knew something was wrong. Inside, he limped to his water bowl and I noticed blood on the floor near his back leg. It wasn't much, but where was it coming from? I frantically checked his paws, ears, and mouth but saw nothing. Then, as I petted him to find the source, I found two puncture wounds on his inner thigh--and then two more on the outer thigh. I called my fiancé in a panic, sending him pictures, and he suggested calling the daycare to see if they could explain what happened. After several attempts to reach them, the daycare called back. I stayed calm, avoiding accusations, and just asked if anything had happened. They admitted there had been an incident with another dog earlier that morning but claimed they checked Boon for injuries and didn't see anything. While I appreciated their honesty, it was frustrating that they hadn't notified me of the incident at pick-up. We brought Boon to the emergency vet. He had four puncture wounds--likely from a bite--and needed sedation, shaving (which is not ideal for an Aussie), and cleaning to properly treat the injuries. The total vet bill came to about $1,500. While it could have been worse, we were heartbroken and angry about what had happened.  After some deliberation, we decided not to ask Country Dogs to cover the vet bill. Instead, we requested a refund for the unused $520 daycare package since we no longer felt comfortable sending Boon there. My fiancé called and left a message, but the staff member responsible for Boon that day happened to pick up. She was sweet and apologetic, expressing genuine concern for Boon, which we appreciated. She said she'd pass along our request to the owner. The owner responded via email, saying they don't have a refund policy and that "dogs will be dogs," but wished Boon a speedy recovery. We replied, explaining that our frustration wasn't just about the incident but the lack of communication. Even if they didn't notice injuries initially, they should've informed us about the altercation so we could check him ourselves. We never received a response to this follow-up. We decided to switch daycares and found an amazing alternative: Fenway Bark. While it's slightly more expensive, it's worth every penny. They have structured "school" activities, themed events, private walks (for an extra cost), and even holiday goodie bags (for free). Boon loves it there, and we feel so much more at ease. I later found out from coworkers and friends that others have had similar experiences with Country Dogs. While the staff are friendly and the hours are convenient, I encourage other dog parents to do thorough research before choosing a daycare. My intent isn't to bash Country Dogs but to share our story so others can make an informed decision. For us, switching to Fenway Bark has made all the difference, and I can't recommend them enough!

Everyone is friendly and happy to see my pup and he always comes home tired out from playing and happy. I also appreciated the amount of time they took to evaluate him before I brought him for his first day. They took a full hour plus. Another place I brought him to took less than 10 minutes, which didn't seem like enough time. Also, The shop has tons of great treats and accessories.

You can get help to fix bad behavior that the dog does at home. I started doing competition obedience training 2 years ago after just 6 months of training I was able to get my dog a CD title in just three tests. It's a no nonsense training. The instructor understands dog behavior which makes it easier to understand why your dog does things. In addition to great training the have top quality food. Great safe toys. And good training.

Since then we have enrolled in several classes because we love it so much! We have gained so much knowledge and support in each of these classes that is priceless as a first time dog owner. Champion is also the only place I feel comfortable boarding my dog. The level of care and love that they show to my boy is unmatched. Each time we pull into the parking lot his tail is wagging a mile a minute because he is so excited! The pricing for both day and night boarding is incredibly reasonable especially with how well taken care of I know he is. We owe so much to Champion Kennels and can not say enough positive things about them!

    When we adopted our puppy, Ellie, at 14 weeks old, we were so overwhelmed. We went to a consult at…read morelife is dog. Our consult was with Nance, and she was very patient in explaining the process and talking us through some initial things that we were struggling with. Then, we started with a training package that included 3 private training classes and 2 months of group obedience classes. We also went to a few puppy kindergarten classes. Nicole did the majority of our trainings and she has been a god-sent. She is very good with the dogs, and her energy level makes the training classes fun both for us and our dog. We learned a lot from Nicole and she helped us to feel a lot less stressed out and actually enjoy the puppyhood. The obedience class is set up like a monthly subscription, where you can go to as many classes as you want. We end up going about 3-4 times a week for 30 minutes, as it is a great activity to mentally exercise our dog and provide socialization while working alongside other dogs. We also started bringing our dog to their dog day camp 2x a week. Tim was also very patient in explaining the process. The dog day camp has been great in getting her to play with other dogs and allows her to learn obedience from others aside from us.

It's remarkable to see the progress that they make with her and how much they enjoy their training sessions! Nance adapts her training sessions to the needs of the individual dog and she is quick to assess how they learn best. She is always patient, kind, and encouraging. We are so lucky to have her expertise, she has changed the lives of so many dogs!

    We recently adopted a new puppy (Nala) to keep our 3 year old Golden doodle (Augie) company…read more Although the two dogs are siblings from different litters, they didn't immediately take to being together. Unlike Augie, who was always sweet and extremely mellow even as a puppy, Nala bit us in the face, barked, destroyed things in our home and terrorized Augie to the extent that he would run away from her. We weren't sure we could keep her because she was so badly behaved and seemed untrainable. In the span of 3 weeks, David transformed Nala from a challenging puppy into a dream puppy. She obeys all the commands, walks off leash in our wooded neighborhood, sleeps hours later than when she left and most importantly she is able to play well with Augie who now seeks her out and willingly allows her even to sleep in his own bed. David sent dozens of videos so we could watch her while she was in training and learn the language she was learning from David. He kept in contact and was even able to drop her off and meet our other dog for a walk with Nala. Without Massachusetts Dog Training, we would likely have given our wonderful puppy away and never realized what a gem we had. David helped to uncover Nala's true potential and helped us to realize how smart, sweet and special she is. We will be forever grateful for his wisdom, expertise and love for our Nala.

On the very first day with David, he was already playing calmly with other dogs, something I never thought I'd see. David kept me updated every step of the way, sending daily videos that showed my dog's progress, which gave me so much peace of mind. When he came home, he could finally walk on a leash without pulling (a major win for a husky owner!) and he no longer jumps on guests the second they walk in the door. Now, he greets people calmly and listens better than ever. It honestly feels like I have a brand new dog. He is happier, more obedient, and much more social. I'm beyond grateful for David's help and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a professional, compassionate, and highly effective dog trainer. He truly works wonders!

    We had an excellent experience with Christina. Our 3.5 year old Yorkie, Loki, was so full of…read moreanxiety that he would literally run around the house terrified for four hours straight barking and "screaming" as we called it (like the screaming goat) as late as midnight. It wasn't his fault, but we had to do something. He was taking medication recommended by our vet at the time. Christina's first visit was spent talking to us through Loki's barking and crying from his crate literally right next to us. She could see that in this state, he needed help before he needed training. She recommended we talk to our vet about a different medication, as she suspected the one he was taking was actually making his anxiety worse. She also recommended a change in his diet from store bought (high end) to homemade. We agreed to do these things and meet again in two weeks. When she came back, Loki was a different dog. He still needed training and still had anxiety, but we could now learn how to desensitize him to the things he was afraid of. (Doorbell, packages, strangers on walks, other dogs) Christina taught us the skills to train Lokie on these issues. Desensitizing will take time and commitment on our end and we are doing our best. :) We were not looking to teach our dog tricks, he does know the basics now though. We were looking for peace for Loki and our family. We are able to sit with him and take him places once again. THANK YOU CHRISTINA!!
