We have an alarm system that gives us a time stamp of when she comes and goes, and she always arrives within her window and stays for the set time we paid for. She does things like wipe muddy dog paws, which is something our last walker at a different company didn't do. -Dog walking prices are cheaper than all competitors in the area -We had a slight snafu with the dog walker at first, and Leashrly staff stepped up and made it right -Amazing, super user-friendly online payment and scheduling system. We will be using Leashrly for overnight pet setting soon. So far, Leashrly set up a meet and greet with the pet sitter at their home so we could see the environment and feel comfortable. Our last dog walking/pet sitting company didn't do this.

We've been using Leashrly Life for over a year now, since we first brought home our puppy. The…read moreonline scheduling is incredibly easy, and it's nice not to have to worry about your primary walker's vacation schedule or sick time. Vacations are always communicated in advance and you are offered the opportunity to meet anyone new who is coming into your home beforehand if time allows, or at least warned that someone new is coming if it's unexpected. Be aware that walkers sometimes bring their children along with them. For me, this is a bonus, I'm happy with the additional interaction, but it still surprised me the first time. We have had a couple of issues here and there but the client coordinator, Ann Marie, has always been very responsive, both during the week and on weekends when needed. One thing I wish I'd known earlier is that you can update a notes section on the website with information about your pup, which is where any substitute dog walkers will look for pertinent information. Our main walker, Jessica, pointed this out to me and helped me determine what would be useful to put here.

From the owner: If you’re looking for the ultimate dog training program, look no further than Ridgeside K9 New…read moreEngland! 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 I came back to pick up my dog they said they did the bath, but won't charge me for the nail clip because their groomer isn't actually there and they tried to clip her nails, got to her back ones but couldn't get her front ones. If an experienced groomer wasn't available I would've like to know ahead of time instead of giving my dog to inexperienced people without my knowledge. The way they dragged her in the back made me uncomfortable and even though the didn't charge me for the nails I still don't like the way she or I were treated. Won't be coming back.

We highly recommend Hilltop Canine, and will definitely be bringing our dog Stella back! We were…read moreworried about boarding her because she had a bad experience at a dog park once and hasn't been very comfortable around other dogs since. One weekend at Hilltop and that's been totally resolved! The staff listened and took in our concerns about socializing her and assured us that if it didn't work they would walk her alone, which made us feel better. After they socialized her with other dogs while there, she now can walk down the street without barking and pulling at the leash when she sees other dogs, which is huge. We loved getting photos and especially the report card and photo gallery at the end - it was great to see what she was up to each day. The staff were all very kind and seem to genuinely love and care about the dogs in their care!

He is really good with this type of mental attack - highly recommend to business majors who want to experience hard-sell practices of the 80's. Just remember that you'll pay $225 for the privilege.

David is a wonderful trainer! We brought Mango, our 10 month old GSD, who was aggressive to anyone,…read moreincluding my 9 y.o. sons friends, whenever they entered our house. Mango was friendly and socialized outside our property, but would attempt to bite anyone who stepped into our driveway. Mango, also doubles as a Houdini, can unlock and open any door (including with child locks) and would go outside whenever he heard anyone close to our property. Multiple dog owners recommended David. We brought Mango in and were told that he was spoiled (I mean how can he not be, he's so handsome), not properly socialized and tightly wound. David boarded Mango for 2 weeks and worked with us intently everyday on proper dog handling. At the end of the training, Mango came home a new dog. He was very relaxed, listened- even my son could handle him. We're very grateful to David for training our dog. David runs a high quality training center: the kennels were always clean (my dog didn't smell like urine or feces when he came home signaling he was kept clean). I recieved video updates and was welcomed to work my dog with other dogs to ensure I had proper management prior to him coming home. I would highly recommend David.

Karma was diagnosed with Lepto but was never given the vaccine nor was she ever put on pet…read moreinsurance, even after the Executive Director of Gofi Dogs was instructed to do so several times. I took her to Angell Memorial Hospital and medical care began. My name was the only name on the account. At no time was anyone from Gofi allowed to visit Karma in the ICU unit. After I left Angell, the Executive Director of Gofi Dogs visited without telling me. She told them she was the "co-owner" of Karma. They denied her access. Angell called later that week and said an "irate woman was calling them, verbally abusing three staff members, and trying to get access to Karma." They denied her again. Several Gofi staff members told me they witnessed this and said the Executive Director was completely unhinged. The Executive Director called me a few days later and said, "If I had known Karma needed dialysis and had been allowed access to her, I would've had her euthanized." READ THAT AGAIN. I don't care about the bullying, harassment, getting the Walpole police involved (the Executive Director did that too), calling a lawyer she knew I'd contact (more on that later), the lack of communication, or the flip-flopping about how much money she demanded. I only care about what Karma had to go through. Because the account was in my name only, Karma had that fighting chance. And because of that, she's alive. If it had been the Executive Director of Gofi Dogs' decision, Karma wouldn't be. READ THAT AGAIN TOO. Karma had no one as she sat in that cage for days with tubes sticking out of her and having no idea if I was coming back. That is beyond inexcusable. I sent an email to the Board of Directors of Gofi Dogs. I never heard back from them. Not. A. Word. The Executive Director of Gofi Dogs set up a fundraising platform for Karma and raised well over $1000. I never saw a dime. I contacted a lawyer and he said, "If you have any social media content up, take it down." "Why?" I asked. "Someone from Gofi contacted me and warned me about you. They don't want their reputation tarnished." I asked if it was the Executive Director of Gofi. "No," he said, "It was someone else on their board." The Executive Director also had my review taken down somehow so this is my second posting. Unethical, conniving, and shady all around.
