Pet Boarding Training near Hingham

“Shipyard Dog Co. is absolutely the best in the area for boarding and daycare! We have two one-year-olds and after hearing about behavioral incidents and illness issues at other Hingham facilities, we needed somewhere we could truly trust. The staff is warm, attentive, and genuinely cares about every dog in their care. The facility is spotless and well-run — our pups get excited the moment we pull into the parking lot! The enrichment activities are a huge bonus, and for the quality you get, the value is outstanding. On top of that, the digital booking makes scheduling incredibly easy. Highly recommend to any local pet parent!“

“The absolute best! My dachshund loves going to daycare and the staff are so friendly. My cockapoo has also been groomed many times by Isabella and she does an awesome job each time. Highly recommend ???“

“We absolutely love Day School!! We send both our dogs and the fun, enrichment and training they receive is outstanding. The Trainers truly care for each dog and it shows through the fun pics and videos they capture each day. I have seen the confidence grow in both dogs and it has been commented on by friends and family. I highly recommend day school and Five Rings in general as they are top of the list in my opinion.“

“We have taken numerous classes with Donna and Marissa, starting with puppy kindergarten when our Rottweiler was just 12 weeks old. We highly recommend working with them and owe our dog’s good behavior to the many tools we’ve gained through their training.

Donna is an expert who truly understands dogs and brings decades of wisdom and experience to her students. She often begins class by inviting questions from the group if there is anything that came up during the previous week or skills people want to focus on that day. She is dynamic and responsive, tailoring each class to what the students and dogs need. This allows for plenty of individual focus in her group classes, which are typically only a handful of dogs.

Beyond providing a professional roadmap for meeting your dog’s training and obedience goals, Donna makes learning FUN. Classes incorporate games, along with various forms of socialization such as agility obstacles, working through real world distractions, and occasionally training outdoors.

We look forward to our classes and are grateful to have found a resource like Donna and Marissa. It has been a pleasure learning new skills and continually building on our Rottie’s strong foundation as she grows.“

“Sandy Tails has been taking my dog Blu on hikes for two months now. Megan took time to get to know him and works on commands while on the trails so all the dogs in her care are safe. Blu takes a while to warm up to non-family members, but Megan won him over and he is eager to go with her when she comes to pick him up. We get pics from their adventures together and I get a jealous when I see how much fun he's having without me! It is so nice to know Blu is getting exercise, socializing, and learning new skills with someone I completely trust. I would, without hesitation, recommend Sandy Tails K9 Adventures!“

“Kay is an awesome trainer! She taught us a lot with my boy Teddy. She was responsive and a great teacher. Our Teddy knows how to: sit, lay, come, and stay within a few session. Book her for your next training. There is nothing better than an obedient dog.“

“New England K9 has been super helpful to us with improving our training skills with our 2 year old dog. Our dog had her basic commands down, but we needed help with her settling (especially outside of the house), grooming and minimizing demand barking. Our trainer, Kate, is knowledgeable, patient and supportive. Our girl has made great progress. The facilities are excellent, very clean and well kept. I highly recommend for training.“

“I mean this is the best place ever. I was in a bind with my chickens and was able to give them a great home with great folks!!“

“Andrea told me that Finn would do just fine in the Toybox room with other like size dogs! She was so right! Finn loves his time there and is very happy!“

“Really glad I chose here for doggy day care! Very clean facility with friendly, personable, and trustworthy staff. My pup absolutely loves it here!“

“I’m sharing this so that I can tell you about how wonderful A Pets Life South Shore is.

We started taking our almost 6 month puppy there in March after having a frustrating experience in another. Tobin is an Australian Shepherd/Lab Mix that we rescued from Scituate animal shelter. He’s also deaf.

This means that he can’t respond to verbal cues, and he also cannot take cues from other dogs when he plays too rough which is how dogs usually learn from each ñother.

He has been going to training since the day he came home to us. He is an exceptionally smart dog and really eager to learn and please.

At the previous Day Care, we were going to we found that every day we would pick him up a different staff would tell us something different about Tobin. It became really frustrating because we didn’t know what we should be working on with him and had hoped that they would be working with him a little bit too based on how they present themselves.

When I had finally had enough, I reached out to Colleen at A Pets Life. I brought Tobin in to meet her and some of her team and I can say for Tobin, it was love at first sight. He absolutely loves his days there and comes home happy and exhausted. Every time we pick him up, we can see how much they care about him and how well he is treated. He just spent the first two nights outside of our home using their boarding and he really enjoyed himself. They adapted to his needs and took a ton of stress off of me during a very important weekend away.  — with A Pet's Life, South Shore at A Pet's Life, South Shore.“

“Great place , Great Service, the one thing I can say is when we got a dog back there were maybe 6 , 7 or 8 spots that were sticking out pretty heavily where it was longer than the rest of the dog's hair. This is my first time getting a 20 l yes good“

“Absolutely love bringing my Lani to this place. The staff knows her so well and it’s a wonderful feeling to bring my dog to a place that cares for her so much!“

“They really care about the very best treatment for the animal. They teach you how to properly care for your ill or injured animal at home. All of the doctors are passionate about the work they do.“

“I can’t express my gratitude to EVERYONE involved in the car op my bearded dragon ( Oopse)!!! my bearded dragon had a large mass under his neck That was getting so large it would he couldn’t even get his tongue to come out of his mouth anymore. I was hand feeding him, but I was so scared because I couldn’t afford the very costly surgery. that he needed to save his life, but thanks to the people at Odd Pet Vet and all the donors out there who always pitch in and help out Odd Pet Vet. We were able to work something out and get Oopsie the surgery that he needed. Oopsie is currently doing amazing.!! and has been given a second chance thanks to everybody at Odd Pet Vet!!!!“
