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.

It's always nice to be able to stop in and pick up what you do you need for your pet.

Horrible experience at this location recently. When I dropped off my dog the manager took her in…read moreand told me to give her 3 hours. Not expecting my dog to be groomed in 1 hour, I did not look at my phone. I had 10 missed calls and done pretty strongly worded voicemail from a young employee. When I called them several minutes later, the girl gave me a major attitude stating my appointment was only an hour long and that my dog was holding up the intake of other dogs coming in for grooming. If my appointment was only an hour long, why would the manager tell me to give her 3 hours? Needless to say, the younger girl's lack of customer service and poor attitude prompted me to find a more professional grooming atmosphere. I'll never go back there, and I tell everyone I know about my bad experience there!

It's such great exercise for her and I love it when I can tell her that she's "going to "see her friends". She hears that and runs to the window to wait for him to pick her up and take her on the adventure of a lifetime. She always comes home exhausted and sleeps the entire day afterwards. To top it off, Clayton himself is just the greatest. He's one of my favorite humans! I'm so grateful for him and so is Lucy! I highly recommend contacting him to see if he's available to pick up your pup and go for a run or join the group!

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.

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.

I got my GSD puppy from Jeff. She is beautiful but VERY anxious and hyper. I had to hire a…read moretrainer to help calm her and have worked very hard to reassure her that she is home. I have had a GSD in the past and she was not this hyper. I was also told that my GSD was raised in a barn and would tolerate cats. WRONG. She has a high prey drive and chases my cat to hold him down. My cat now lives with my daughter. I was foolish to purchase this puppy knowing the cost was so low. In the long run I would have been better off paying the larger amount to get a puppy through a reputable breeder. I paid a lot of $$$ for her training, almost what it would have cost to buy a puppy from a decent breeder. The only thing that makes me feel better is that I may have saved her from being sent to a shelter. She was 4 mo old when I got her. How much longer would he be able to sell her. Wish I had researched better.

Needless to say, I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were in excellent care. Plus when we picked them up they were both fresh out from a bath.

After much searching for getting help for our 10 month old, mostly deaf Harlequin Great Dane, my…read morewife and I decided on talking to Matt and see if he could help us out. He took our dog, checked out his behavior and spent about 15 minutes interviewing or seeing my dog's reactions and/or behavior. Afterwards, he explained what he experienced with our dog and what his training would consist of. As time passed, we received updates of our dogs training and how he was doing. When we went to finally pick up our dog, Matt said he was going to grab him and bring him outside and show us what he has learned at K9 Instincts. While Matt was outside, one of his trainers was inside his office explaining to us what was going on between Matt and our dog. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. The dog looked like my dog that I brought to Matt and his trainers but what I was seeing wasn't what I have been dealing with. My dog was attentive to Matt. Walking at his side, not dragging him or being distracted by passing cars, people or animals. Obeyed every command, his nervousness and anxiety was gone, my dog projected confidence, determination, and didn't mind strutting his new skills with happiness. His tail was wagging so hard and fast I thought he was about to take off flying. Now that our dog's training was over, it was time for Matt and his other trainer, please forgive me because I forgot his female trainer's name, to train my wife and myself my dog's commands and how to handle him. Since we have been home for a week now, we have no regrets of having our dog spend 3 1/2 weeks at K9 Instincts training with Matt and his skilled employees. Actually, we should have brought him months ago. There's no playful biting, jumping, chewing, displays of anxiety and nervousness. If he needs a correction or if he is doing something we don't want, like digging in the backyard, I corrected him once and signaled him not to do what he was doing. He immediately stopped, sat down and looked at me. He wasn't scared, nervous or showed any signs of anxiety. I signaled him to come to me. He instantly trotted to me with his head high and tail wagging then sat down at the left side of me starring at my face. I gave him lots of praise and loving pats and rubs. When we go for our daily walks, he walks and stays on my left side. He doesn't try to drag me in an direction. His leash is hanging between us. He is very attentive to me looking for any hand signals. He doesn't get distracted anymore by outdoor activities going on in our neighborhood. He will look towards the distraction but he doesn't try to drag me to it anymore. Neighbors used to joke with me about who is walking who but not anymore. They are very impressed with his demeanor and body language showing calmness, happiness and confidence. My dog makes me proud even more now. Thank you, K9 Instincts, for everything you have done for my wife, me and my canine family. I can't thank you enough.

While completely lovable, he was out of control when he first came to our house. While playing in the back yard, he nearly bit my BFF because he was so excited about running around and playing. I had taken another, far more docile dog to K9 Instincts for boarding for many years. Matt & his staff were exceptionally kind and caring to Rachel. I knew they also did training so I decided to call and have Axle evaluated. Axle went for a 3 week "boot camp" and it was completely worth the time and expense. Even though it's "shock collar" training, it completely transformed his behavior. After the first three or four months, we began to use the collar periodically in situations where we knew he may have some problems (he was rescued from a fighting dog situation, so he still struggles with other dogs). It's now really a pleasure to be out and about with Axle. While talking, Matt mentioned that I would probably enjoy Axle much more with training. He was completely right. I no longer have anxiety that Axle will be out of control and a threat to others.
