Not only did he stress me out about dog food (probably gets kick backs from open farm) but also my "lack of relationship" with my dog.

Andrew puts in so much time and dedication to his work. Not only does he offer multiple services…read morefor you and your pets but he will go above and beyond to meet any needs and requests you may have about your pets. Training, pet supplies, pet photography, fun adventures for your pets, you name it, he offers it. Recently needed help with an elderly dog that I adopted. She had severe separation anxiety and was impossible to leave the room without her crying. With the help of Pup Scouts, my dog is now comfortable in her new environment, no longer needs to be caged when I'm not home, and no longer cries even when I leave for work. Truly impressed with the services in just a few short months of training.

Our girl Sadie was anxious all the time and barked at everything and everyone. Recall was not a…read moreword in her vocabulary and she would be the one to take us for a walk. That is, until we met Nick. He was absolutely incredible with Sadie and changed both Sadie's and our lives for the better. Within a few minutes he recognized her lack of confidence. After a few short weeks we went to pick up our girl and the change in her was amazing! She now has more confidence and is less anxious, her barking has subsided, she has great recall and we now walk together with loose leash heel. During her stay with Nick, he would send daily pictures, videos and updates keeping us connected to her and their progress together. If you are considering training for your dog, stop thinking and do it, you would be in excellent hands with Nick. He treats your dog like family! We mare beyond thrilled with our experience with Nick and New England dog training Company.

He is excited every time I pull into the driveway and he comes home tired. Bill also comes to the house for dog training. I find his advice very helpful. After only a few short weeks, he is more behaved and has not chewed on the furniture (fingers crossed). We continue to work on social interactions with humans, as our dog lives to greet everyone.

Wonderful and kind training......Melissa does an excellent job. You can tell she really cares…read moreabout the dogs. I have only been there twice. My reason for going was due to my pup's incessant barking at everything. I'm happy to say we're at a 75% better after just 3 weeks. She will now run for a ttreat, return to me and sit and stay. She will turn and spin and come to me on command 100% of the time, nothing I ever expected. Our next training session will be to stop her from pulling on her leash. I am very pleased but prepare yourself for 2 realities....1/ You're not really traing the dog, you're training yourself to practice and be consistent. 2) It's pricey. I would still highly reccommend this service.

Melissa has been excellent to work with - I have a Great Pyrenees with a very thick double coat…read more She is extremely patient with him and does a great job bathing and brushing him out. Many groomers just give up when a dog has some mats and say that they have to clip the dog down - MJ takes the time to actually work on the coat. Amazingly, she is faster than any other groomer I have used! She is also very prompt with communication through her website or via e-mail.

My young Aussie and I have taken several obedience classes at Southcoast Dog Training & Care. Each…read moretime, my dog Niko has become more engaged, obedient, and eager to please. The "Pop Up" class - Obility - is so much fun. The agility equipment is arranged (differently each time) around the large yard and the dogs (and people) enjoy the challenge and novelty of going over and through all of the jumps, balance boards, and tunnel. Patti and Sandy have been great. Unlike other trainers I've had, they demonstrate exercises with the dogs in the class. This is so much more helpful to observe than the trainers' fully trained dog's demonstration. Sandy and Patti are very observant about the behavior of both the dogs in the class as well as the people handling their dogs. I've learned a lot and Niko loves it. We continue classes for fun and enrichment even though he has a really reliable recall.

I almost don't even know where to start with sharing my gratitude for Sandy. My 17-year-old…read moredaughter has a one year old black lab who has been in service dog training with Sandy since she was 8 weeks old. Sandy approaches all of her sessions with us with honesty, empathy, and kindness. To say she goes above and beyond is an understatement. She takes my daughter's phone calls when she has questions, is willing to make house calls for training "emergencies", has filmed videos for my daughter's high school to help prepare students for having a service dog in school, and she has become a true friend of our family. Sandy also genuinely LOVES our dog, which we can see with every session. This puppy has honestly saved my daughter's life, and none of this would have been possible without Sandy. If you are looking for a trainer who truly loves dogs and who will take the time to genuinely get to know you as a human being, Sandy is your trainer. I cannot recommend her enough.

Before we even park, her tailing is wagging and she's trying to get out of the car and in to see all her friends. Amy and Shelly have been great; providing my wife and I with behavior observations, advice and words of encouragement on our puppy's upbringing. I would recommend Executive Dog to anyone. Our first day was a little confusing- while the business address is located on Sconticut Neck Road, the entrance/parking is off of Little Bay Road.

Lora and her staff do a FANTASTIC JOB! I usually only bring my furry friend a few times a year(been…read morebringing him for the past 4 years)but when I do, I've always had a positive experience. This year he did a weekend stay and he also did a 10 day stay due to our vacation plans. I had zero issues, when I checked in on him(because he was staying so long)I received a timely and positive response from the owner. Her staff is extremely friendly and I find that they understand how stressful it can be leaving your pet in someone else's care. They do put their pics on Facebook playing with other dogs so you can see how they are doing which is great, they even threw a birthday hat on him on his birthday! I find the facility to be very clean and the staff to be very organized. My only suggestion would be to book early if you plan on a trip during a holiday weekend or the summer, they can fill up fast sometimes.

I went to the Diamond in the Ruff in Acushnet MA. which seems to have a website that is…read moreDiamondintheruffspa.com? Anyway, I rescued an old poodle mixed dog, and took him there because he was very matted when I got him, and they did a good job. I take the dog bi-weekly to self baths in Fairhaven and waited 3 months to take him back to get his fur trimmed and washed, etc. The experience was just awful! This is what I got: the grooming was done in just over half an hour, they told me the dog was matted, when I know he was not, the dog has curly hair. Because they said he was matted, they shaved him. I picked up the dog and he was stinky. This dog did not smell like anything good. It was obvious to me that the dog wasn't washed, maybe they just passed one of those "dry shampoos" but the dog was stinky, Then he had a cut in his skin, which they didn't notice, and did not put any antibiotic. The icing on the cake was that they DID NOT cut his nails, and my dog developed an allergy because he got a haircut without a wash. Then they charged me 129 dollars! I called several times regarding this service and when I got to talk to people they said that someone would get back to me, I'd call again days later and they would leave a message that the owner would get back to me, but the owner never did. Terrible customer service, they don't care about your dog.
