Not knowing Lacey's background because she was a rescue and had clearly been through a lot, I knew not only Lacey but I needed training as well. We all did. I enrolled Lacey for the daycare program/KT and John came to our home and we started training in her home environment also. We rescued Jenna a year ago and both girls absolutely love going to daycare, boarding, and their training programs. I've learned so much and use these tools at home daily. My girls adore the staff / me too, and I know they are getting the very best care. It's a hike for me but worth it. I'm very thankful for PCC.

**Absolutely amazing experience with Mutty Paws Academy!**…read more We were in a bit of a pinch while vacationing in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. The boarding kennels we normally trust back home in NH were completely booked, so we decided to bring our dog, Moose, with us and find a doggie daycare where he could stay while we visited some of the attractions that weren't dog-friendly. I found Mutty Paws Academy on Google and called to explain our situation. From the very beginning, they were incredibly kind, understanding, and accommodating. Even though we were tourists from out of town, they were willing to welcome Moose into their daycare program and work with our vacation schedule. Then, because apparently our vacation needed one more plot twist , Moose got sprayed by a skunk the night before his first day! I called Mutty Paws expecting that we would have to cancel, but instead they were so understanding. They told us that if we gave him a good bath at the Petco Self Wash, they would still take him. They even allowed us to drop him off later than normal so we had time to get him cleaned up. Because of the smell, he had to spend his first day doing daycare solo, which they were completely fine with. And they went above and beyond by giving him **another bath at no charge**! The next day, Moose still had a little bit of that lovely skunk smell lingering , so I assumed he would have another solo day. But the staff evaluated him and decided he was good to play with the other dogs. He seemed to absolutely LOVE it! When we brought him in for his second day of daycare , he was happy to go in and he returned tired and content. We had also scheduled him for a third day, but after everything we had already spent replacing things, doing endless laundry, bathing the dog, and ultimately upgrading from our tent to a cabin because of the skunk disaster, we decided we didn't need the third day. I called that morning to cancel, and once again, they were incredibly understanding and **didn't charge us a cancellation fee**, even though it was last minute. I honestly can't say enough good things about Mutty Paws Academy. They were flexible, compassionate, accommodating, and clearly cared about making sure Moose was comfortable and happy. They turned what could have been a very stressful situation into something we could actually laugh about. If you're visiting the Old Orchard Beach area and need a safe, caring place for your dog, I **highly recommend Mutty Paws Academy!** We are so grateful they were willing to help us out, especially after our unexpected skunk encounter. Moose definitely gives them two paws up!

My dog loves to go to Mutty Paws! I feel confident that he is well cared for while he is there.read more

I finally got my pup, had excitedly planned to bring her to DWD, and thought we were all set, only…read moreto have the owner of the company kick us out at the last minute, without warning. I don't know for sure since I'm not getting a straight answer, but this was apparently over a harmless question I asked; our dog trainer suggested a daytime program might be too intense for my particular puppy at this particular week of her life. I brought up that concern and asked about starting the following week. (I was just being a new dog owner, looking for advice and reassurance) But I got shown the door and was treated as though I had committed some unforgivable offense. Completely bewildering experience. According to the Better Business Bureau, DWD is not an accredited business.

When I would be driving over the bridge to go, they started to get really excited because they knew where we were going. She has an amazing way with dogs, and has a great back yard for them to roam in. They learn about getting along with other dogs, or I guess the better term is "they become part of the pack". I feel that my dogs became better dogs because of Julie's guidance. Dances with Dogs is an amazing, nurturing place for puppies and dogs.

We were able to make all the arrangements online. The day I dropped him off we were greeted by a staff member named Joy. She is aptly named. She was a delightful woman, showing me the facility, and where my dog would be staying. She showed me where the cameras are so that the owner can look in the evening before she goes to bed to make sure all the dogs are OK. Each dog has his individual space where he spends the night. There is a group inside play area as well as several different fenced in areas outside where dogs can play separately or together. There is a man who lives on the property who is also available in case of emergency and works part time at the facility. When I came to pick my dog up the next day, he was happy and healthy! They said there were no issues, and we were all very happy with the experience.
