She comes home happily exhausted. Berkshire Dogs Unleashed has been fantastic integrating dogs, of any age, size, and breed for socialization. Lea has also had grooming and regular nail trimming. She has been here since week 1 and her training with them was above and beyond expectation. They were also very proactive when kennel cough ran rapid twice last year and were able to prevent dogs from being affected. The staff that the Kohlenbergers hire treat the dogs (and their people) like family. Courteous and respectful. BDU had also made incredible strides for their community.

No tag was left behind. Every child cared for. They have held a wonderful canine carnival fundraiser for BASK (Balance and Service K9s). Story book donations to Williams School. They even sent me a get well token after I had emergency surgery in February. More recently, (Berkshire Poodles with the Kohlenberger family) has donated several comfort dogs (18 to date) into all of Berkshire County. I can tell by this expression how much she enjoys the facility and the staff. In their constant photo shares, daily, you can see she's playing and engaging with others. See for yourself. They are more than happy to show you around. We trust them with a member of our family.

Adopting him at this age meant he already had some ingrained bad behaviors that were hard to break.

I have spoke to my family members afterward and it brings me to tears when I explain just how calm and understanding of a human being Dr. Sidorsky is. Previously I had set up an appointment for my younger sisters cat and she also reported an amazing experience. I also referred my aunt after hearing about my sisters experience. She also had a great experience. I will definitely be contacting him again when the time comes for my other kitty and I will definitely continue to refer him to friends and family.

There are no kennels, but a big fenced backyard and a "spa-like" area where your dog has his own couch, a water fountain, a tv a big rug and all the squeeky toys he can possibly need. They feed their own dog an organic diet and and will do so for yours too. I left my family member here during a hotel stay in a local spa and was hoping they could come and pick him up in the morning and drop him off in the evening, but it turned out that he received such good and constant care it was just better for HIM to leave him frolic in the fresh air and chase squirrels with constant company than leave him in my hotel room by himself in a crate. Their operation is clean, their attention to detail amazing. I got a daily report card of his mood, eating and elimination habits and Kathy even sent me daily text messages that included photos and video updates!! Really above and beyond for a very reasonable cost. Their website has all the licensing and certification information. Seriously, I am a over protective animal lover who is obsessed with the good care of her "kids". I could hope for no better day or overnight care than Berkshire Pet Pals gave my baby. This is the real deal.
