I left a 3yo registered English Lab, for 2 weeks at $2,500. I wanted higher level training than…read morewhat she had already been through and specifically requested not to do the basic course. Nick Morrow said he had things for her to do that were not the basic course. After 1 week, they are supposed to provide a video and they did not do that. I was supposed to be getting communication through a messenger app, but that didn't happen until the day before pickup, when they also finally provided a video. When I came to pick her up, she had a bloody puncture on the bridge of her nose, which, to me, looked like a dog bite, but Nick Morrow says it's a normal scratch the dogs get from nosing the kennel. The "scratch" has not healed after a month. Regarding the training, Nick had another person train my dog and they did the basic training, like I said not to do. My dog regressed in her training because she is highly anticipatory. The beginning training countered the higher-level training already taught. Bottom line, not only did my dog come back battered, but I had to retrain her from what they did. They don't follow specific requests and don't communicate as I would've wanted during the tenure. I wish I put her in a safe shelter, instead. Nick Morrow wouldn't return any money because he thinks he did a good job. Just don't go there.

Our Bernese Mountain Dog has been part of the Balanced K-9 family for almost 4 years. He started…read morewith Chuck and Luciana when he was 4 years old (he is now 8), and the reason we drove him from Boston to Connecticut was because the training program and people were so highly recommended to us. We were immediately happy with the results, the love, and the attention our dog got from being with them. From the moment we walked through the doors, the team made us feel welcome and at ease. Our dog spent an initial training program with Luciana and her team, and since then, he visits every few months for a refresh or a holiday stay. They have given us sound advice on everything having to do with our dog! The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, tailoring the sessions to meet our dog's specific needs. The facility is clean, well-organized, and designed with dogs' safety and comfort in mind. They also have great customer service--always prompt to answer questions and flexible with scheduling. I highly recommend Balanced K-9 to anyone looking for professional, effective, and compassionate dog training and caring.

​I brought all three of my Pomeranians to Corey and Grace today for a full wash, cut, and nail…read moretrim, and they came out looking absolutely beautiful, healthy, and so happy! ​I am extremely particular about who handles my dogs because of an awful experience years ago with a groomer in Hartford who traumatized my first Pomeranian and severely damaged her hair and skin--it took over a year for her coat to grow back. Since then, I refused to trust anyone local and spent years driving my dogs all the way into NYC just to get them groomed. While our city groomer was great, making that trip from Danbury was exhausting and expensive. ​I was nervous to switch, but I decided to give Corey & Grace at Wags Doggie Daycamp a try, and they completely exceeded my expectations. They were exceptionally gentle with my newest rescue, who has serious PTSD, and took extra care with my special needs pup by using a supportive harness so she didn't have to strain or stand on her hind legs unsupported. ​Seeing how patient, safe, and stress-free all three of my girls were was such a relief. My babies look gorgeous, but most importantly, they were treated with so much love and respect. Thank you so much, Corey & Grace--you've officially earned yourself a customer for life!

We boarded ourdog here expecting him to be safe. During his stay, he was attacked by another dog…read moreand suffered a significant ear injury that required immediate veterinary care and after care It was very upsetting to receive that call while away. While we appreciate that they took him to the vet, this incident has left us with concerns about the level of supervision and safety protocols in place. I encourage anyone considering boarding here to ask detailed questions about how dogs are monitored and how they prevent altercations. I hope the facility takes steps to prevent another family from going through this horrible experience. Our dog is now medicated to allow his ear which has a chunk missing!! to heel and must be monitored 24/7 as the ear bleeds at any movement. Please do your research and don't always trust the place that has a ton of dogs in one room with only 1 person watching them Our poor pup is paying the price right now it's very sad for us to see him Going through this. Needless to say he will never step foot in that place again!

From day one, the communication, reliability, and genuine care have stood out. My dog is not easy to walk just because of his size. Olivia took the time to meet him and assess him and found the best dog walker that would fit my dogs needs. Jen is our dog walker and she is truly exceptional. You can tell she doesn't just "walk dogs" -- she really connects with them. My dog lights up every time Jen arrives, and that peace of mind is priceless. Jen is attentive, patient, and always goes the extra mile, whether it's making sure my dog gets the right amount of exercise or sending thoughtful updates and photos after each walk. The report cards she writes are my favorite part of my work days. It's rare to find someone you trust completely with your pet, but Jen and Olivia have earned that trust and more. If you're looking for a dog walker or pet trainer who treats your dog like their own, this is the company -- and Jen and Olivia are a big reason why.

Do your research and you will see that she rises above and is the clear choice if you are looking for positive results.

She has very generous contractual terms for eg, when you get a puppy she will guarantee the puppy unconditionally for 2 weeks. The majority of breeders only guarantee puppies for 48 hours. Also, she guarantees against crippling hip dysplasia for 2 years. The fact is that Ruth cares about every single dog she places in homes and I have seen her build life long relationships with so many of her clients, including myself. Shame on people who would state that they would never buy a dog or recommend her, as they are not facing reality, which is that dogs can develop illnesses. It is impossible to guarantee a dog through its life.
