Pet boarding/training near North Reading

“staff are professional and very caring toward their clientele.
I have had my dogs going there since 1998 when Joan Barufaldi was still alive. I have always had good experience there even when the difficult time came to say good bye to our former pets. The staff are compassionate and skilled.“

“Everything about this place is phenomenal except the drop off and pick up process. I don't think there's anything they can do about it however because the parking area the parking area in front of the building it's too small.“

“Everyone is always so nice and treats my cat well, even though he can be a little bit spicy and hard to handle.“

“We had such a great experience with North Boston Dog Training! After researching many board and train programs, this one really stood out to us and we couldn’t be happier with the results.

Our two Labradoodles, ages six years and five months, needed help with reliable commands, walking manners, recall, reactivity, barking, and jumping. Our older dog was also on a strict low exercise and no jumping routine due to a partial CCL tear, so we needed both dogs to listen well, especially with surgery in her future. Rhonda was amazing with both of them and took such great care of our older dog, even administering her medication as instructed by our vet.

She kept us updated with pictures and progress reports throughout training, which gave us so much peace of mind. At pickup, Rhonda walked us through everything the dogs had learned and showed us exactly how to continue their training at home. Since coming back, both dogs have been reliable and correct themselves quickly when asked. Our walks are so much more enjoyable, and our puppy has such a strong foundation. Everyone who meets him can’t believe how well trained he is. Both dogs are calm, responsive, and still their fun loving selves.

We are so thankful for Rhonda and highly recommend North Boston Dog Training to anyone looking for real results and genuine care for their dogs.“

“I was able to get an appointment the day I called and everyone was very nice. We were brought into the exam on time and the tech and veterinarian were wonderful with my dog. He was thoroughly examined and the issue was taken care of with expertise. I was given thorough instructions for his care and all my questions were answered. I have been bringing my dog here since he was a puppy and I would recommend them.“

“We have now had 2 Board and Train experiences with HK9 for our 1.5 year old, GSD. His behavioral transformation has been remarkable. This is a first class, top quality, truly professional organization that you can trust will always operate in the best interests of your dog. The level of expertise and commitment throughout the organization is remarkable. We no longer have any reservations about leaving our dog while we do extensive travel. We now have a calm, professionally trained dog that I can take anywhere under any circumstances without reservation. Nelson/Lauren/Brendon/Katherine and the entire team are the best in the business. They do extensive follow-up to ensure that you know how to replicate their training techniques. They've spent considerable time with us post B&T to make sure we understand how to reinforce and maintain his level of obedience.
They are only a text away from answering any and all questions or issues. The best part is really how much our dog LOVES these guys. He's always excited to see them which makes transitions really easy for us. Nelson and the team stay up-to-date on the latest developments and innovations in the dog training field. Nelson has worked with the best in the business. I would highly recommend HK9 for your dogs B&T needs.“
