The owner/trainer of this facility is not a good person. Don't take your dogs here…read more We tried to take our 5 mo old puppy to a class here. He is a big puppy, around 43 lbs when we brought him. We had our puppy for a month at this point and know that he always barks at new dogs until he gets to smell them. He has never shown any sign of aggression (growl, snarl, showing his teeth, etc.) and is actually very submissive when playing with other dogs. When our pup saw the other dogs for the class, he barked at each of them to say hello and couldn't wait to play. When we met the trainer, our puppy barked to say hello (again, this is normal behavior for him, just a vocal dog). We were turned away at the door because our pup was too big, too "dominant", and too "aggressive". Without even working with our dog, he immediately said we need to get bitter apple spray and a pronged collar for him. To top it off, he said "your dog has a chemical imbalance in his brain". Incredible rude and uncalled for given that we just met him and he doesn't know us or our dog. I tried contacting the facility after this to get my deposit back and they have not responded to any of my calls or emails. This place is just not run by kind or honest people. There are better training facilities. We are now working with a trainer who took the time to meet our dog and understand him. She loves our puppy and commonly "jokes" about how he's so smart and sweet she wants to take him home. He's a wonderful, very trainable, very sweet boy. If you are looking for positive reinforcement training, this is not the place to go. If you have a big dog, this is not the place to go. If you value the trainer caring about your dog, this is not the place to go. Just don't go here.

Our team of certified professional dog trainers work hard to create custom programs that fit every dog, and every budget; from private training lessons to boarding and training. Most of us lead pretty hectic lives, work long hours, have numerous commitments, and often don’t have extra time to devote to the hundreds of repetitions and 24/7 accountability that successful dog training requires. You would much rather be spending the time you do have exploring, having fun, making memories, or relaxing with your canine best friend! That’s where our Board and Train dog training services come in. Our trainers will create a unique training program to fit you and your dog's specific needs to achieve the training goals. All travel, treats, care, training, tools, and lifetime guarantee of communication with your assigned trainer is included in each of our programs. At the end of training, your trainer will return the dog back to you where they will not only teach you everything your dog has newly learned, but also how to continue with training in everyday aspects within your own home. Our motivation is to see you communicate, connect, and thrive with your dog!

When we adopted our dog a year ago, we needed someone who could help us during our busy work week by coming over to the house and walking him and giving him a break for play time. But we also needed help with understanding our shelter dog (he was very high maintenance with separation anxiety issues). Chris really worked hard at winning the trust of our dog. Chris is excellent at dog training and provided us with useful tips and tricks in order to get our little guy to settle down a bit in order to become used to being a part of a family. Our dog absolutely loves Chris! We are very thankful for all the help Chris has given us! Chris is 100% reliable and is always there to answer questions and help out in any way possible. There have been many times when our work schedules changed or when we needed Chris to come over on a weekend because we were taking a day trip. Chris always worked us into his busy schedule and we knew we could count on him. Having him to walk our dog has been such a huge help and we would highly recommend him to anyone who is needing in-home pet care! Chris, thanks a million for all that you do!

My experience with Chewies Playland was continuous for over 1 year until the winter of 2024. Where I was once happy because my dog was happy, about 9 months later, I started to question the inconsistencies in the services and billing practices for grooming. My dogs behavior after boarding. I stopped using the grooming service. My last boarding showed inconsistencies in the various boarding charges. As of February 2024 I stopped being a customer. Anytime I asked for a straight answer about pricing I would get, a different answer or they just want to take something off my bill. My last visit charges were incorrect. I thought I was going to have a conversation with the owner to acknowledge I was NOT charged enough $$$, but I wasn't allowed to speak a word. Later, I received multiple text messages after the call, including one threatening me if I put in a poor review of the business.

Rhonda is a fantastic trainer. She's professional, gentle and always positive with our dogs, and…read morevery knowledgeable. Both of our large puppies have responded immediately upon implementing her training techniques. She's great at not only training our dogs, but also teaching us how to train. She's very patient with both of our dogs, and with us as we all learn new techniques. Each session is completely tailored to our puppies and our home, which gives us a ton of flexibility to really utilize our time together working on the things our family needs, unlike other generic classes where it may or may not be applicable/beneficial to our dogs. Her rates are very affordable, especially considering she comes to our house. Having a trainer in the home has been great because our dogs are learning in a familiar surrounding, so we don't have to start over each week. In addition to great trainings each week, Rhonda also met with us for a 2 hour preliminary consult where she genuinely got to know us, our dogs, and our family's needs. She also checks in weekly via email to see how we're doing and answer any questions. After each session, she gives us print outs with step by step instructions so that we remember what we've worked on. I would highly recommend Always Positive Pet Training to anyone looking to train their pets.

The only answers I got was to keep throwing treats at him and to avoid the situations , basically leave my dog at home . My dog is my world and I want to share my life with him . I was lucky enough to come across Ramon and Hudson K9. From the very beginning, we never avoided the triggers , we never ran and hid from them ; like at the other places . We faced them head on with behavior modification . Not only did Ramon have Odin's confidence grow , but more importantly mine . He reminds me all the time that there is nothing Odin can't do . I'm able to take Odin out with me anywhere now and we are practicing for our CGC . I wish I found Ramon and Hudson K9 sooner, they have been a life saver and have become a second home .

So, we decided in the best interest of our new pup not to go return for the final testing class. We wrote the establishment and the trainer stating we wouldn't be returning....they just responded with "well, good luck you?". what's sad is her lack of acknowledgment/ asking us how it was going, etc, above all--lack of the trainers awareness here with us and our pup....when she witnessed both of us and our pup get so upset during the last class where the trainer was showing her who boss... and her nipping her now. The best news above all is we've attended 3 other training facilities with a huge success and our pup is doing terrific!,!,

We recently saw that Zoomies opened near us and were excited to try a place for our dogs that…read morecatered to smaller pups (under 40 lbs). We stopped by and met the owners, Ali and her mom Colleen. Our two dogs immediately took a liking to them and seemed right at home in their facility. There are your usual gates that you will see at any doggy daycare so they can keep the dogs safe and separated if necessary but Ali and Colleen made the extra effort to make their place feel more like a home. It was clear that it helped make our dogs feel comfortable and I especially liked that it smelled nice and clean. The outdoor area is a combination of fake and real grass. It's nice to see a facility with real grass because our dogs really enjoy rolling around in it when they're outside. I appreciate that they try to keep the groups smaller and try to ensure that the dogs are familiar with one another. I think that's really beneficial to pups that suffer from some anxiety (like our female dog). Ali and Colleen were able to watch our two dogs for Labor Day weekend and from the pictures they posted on Facebook it was clear they were well looked after. Every picture showed them smiling and having fun. They don't have a webcam so you can watch your dog on camera but they do try to make sure they post several pics online so you can see what's going on. Or if you're like me you just miss their little faces so much when you're away from them that you need to get periodic fixes! You will pay a little more here than some of the other doggy daycares in the area but you are also getting a homier environment with more personalized care. Their pricing is easier to understand than a lot of other daycares too. We're so glad we found Zoomies and will definitely use them again to watch our beloved doggies!

Yesterday I took my two stubborn huskies to The Merrimack Doggie Spaw for the first time, I was…read morerefer by a friend to go here because I was in search of a crate free groomer. Kodiak and Maya absolutely hate bath time, we typically only bring them to a groomer in the spring to speed up the grooming process and just bathe them at home the rest of the year when they're just dirty and need baths! So needless to say, they're a bit difficult to handle when it comes to grooming... BUT The Merrimack Doggie Spaw was amazing! My dogs literally look the best I've ever seen them after a grooming, theres virtually no shedding left to be done (which anyone that owns a husky knows how rare that is this time of year)! Dallys was awesome, there were some issues with my dogs acting up (Maya having a melt down in her play pen while Kodiak got a bath and Kodiak trying to escape the bath) and she handled it great! I loved that she didn't lecture me on their behavior like some people have, and recognized that it's due to stress, and came up with a plan on how we'll handle their grooming next time to save one of them from hurting themselves and to make her job easier! So if you want you're dog to look amazing and get exceptional service, definitely book a "spaw" day at The Merrimack Doggie Spaw!
