Pet Boarding Training near Peabody

“As a Animal Control Officer who appreciates people who help animals, I wish I could give the Dogmother a 100 star rating!
This daycare has the biggest outdoor space that’s split into different yards along with a trainer dedicated to each group of dogs. All dogs are placed with small groups which I prefer, and always have a attendant at all times. Everything is on video 24/7 and the staff is very well trained to handle dogs and groups of dogs.

This business is very highly recommended by residents, Rescue organizations like Sweet Paws Rescue and many local ACOs , Police, Fire, and local city officials.“

“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 originally reached out to Atlantic K9 Training because my one-year-old Cane Corso/Pittie mix, Brinley, was getting a little too strong for me to handle. She’s incredibly sweet and submissive with other dogs, but she loved to jump on people and had a habit of pulling hard on the leash during walks. At 60 pounds, it was definitely a lot to manage!

From the start, Kylie and the Atlantic K9 team were amazing—professional, knowledgeable, and so caring. Brinley attended their two-week bootcamp, and I’ll admit, it was hard sending her away for that long with no visits. I was worried she might feel abandoned, but Atlantic K9 made the experience so much easier. They uploaded pictures every day of her playing with other dogs, looking happy and confident, with a smile bigger than I’ve ever seen on her. It was clear she was having the time of her life—more like a fun vacation than “training camp.”

When Brinley came home, the transformation was incredible. She has great recall, walks beautifully on leash, and I can now even let her walk off-leash with full confidence. She’s learned to stay in her “place,” respond to “no” consistently, and—best of all—she no longer jumps on people!

I’m so grateful to Kylie and the entire Atlantic K9 team for their compassion, communication, and the amazing results they delivered. Brinley is happier, calmer, and more connected to me than ever. I can’t recommend Atlantic K9 Training enough!“

“This place is amazing! We brought our 6 month old Labradoodle to the HappyK-9 for Advanced Obedience Training for two reasons: to stop jumping on everyone and everything in his path…and to stop pulling my kids down the street with him while going to a leashed walk. I can easily say, money well spent. After 30days with Nelson and the crew at Happy K-9, Lucky came home like a new dog. Nelson gave us the tools to understand Lucky and how to reward, and mark his actions that we found acceptable, and to correct when he needed it. My dog will NOT jump on anything, and will NOT pull away from me any longer. I can take him to market places, my kids’ sporting events and even family trips now that he is so well behaved. It’s honestly everything that a pet owner could ask for in terms of having your dog now be able to participate in all our activities because he knows how he is expected to behave.
And what may be the most impressive part of our training experience was that several weeks after Lucky came home, the Happy K-9 team came to our home to spend the afternoon making sure we were comfortable and reinforcing all that our dog has learned. And we have a second follow-up appointment in two weeks!
Most importantly, above all else, the entire team at The Happy K9 truly cares about what they do and they dogs they work with. They are thorough, they communicate daily, and even stay on top of their Social Media game… I couldn’t be happier with what we received for service. This place is the best in the business.“

“We have tried a few different daycares in the area and nothing compares to RiverDog in Melrose!! They always keep us in the loop and you can tell they really care about the dogs. Our dog pulls us inside every time. We love them so much!“

“I can't express my gratitude for Billy making sure in my worst of times, that my Rose Petal was so loved and cared for. This business isn't just another business, he has a true heart and I will highly recommend Big Daddy Doggie Daycare to anyone. He absolutely has the true love of dogs in his heart. Thank you, Billy!“

“As someone who has to live around my mom taking care of the dogs I can tell you she does a great job providing a loving and free environment for the dogs that are brought to us.“

“Staff are generally really nice, warm and caring. My dog had 2 surgeries there and they were all so concerned about me! (They saw me crying from anxiety…) Dr. Chopra is attentive and humble. They are expensive but for me the convenience is worth it.“
