Pet Boarding Training near Rowley

“This place is phenomenal! Kim the owner is so caring and loving with dogs. I love the fact that our dogs can be out and play on the green turf and keep cool under shade. It’s really good for them as opposed to just being locked up in cages. If you need someone reliable and that you can trust with your dog while you’re away and be sure that your dogs gonna be tired when they get home this is the place for you. Can’t say enough good things about Kim & her staff, so glad I found her. ???“

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

“When we brought Cadence, our Belgian Malinois granddogger, home from Runchkin Hill Farm, we weren’t just getting a puppy — we were gaining a lifelong support system. Robin Desmond sets the standard for responsible breeding and working-dog training. Cadence is a product of thoughtful pairing, intentional early socialization, and a breeder who truly understands drive, structure, and temperament. You can see the foundation in her confidence and clarity every single day. What made our experience even more special was Robin’s incredible support in helping us prepare Cadence as a Christmas surprise for our son — a Marine Corps veteran who has long wanted to train and compete in PSA. Robin didn’t just send us home with a puppy. She helped us thoughtfully plan the entire surprise, guiding us in selecting the perfect leash, collar, Ruffland crate, bully sticks, treats, and even enrolling Cadence in training classes to give her the perfect head start. Her guidance made the moment unforgettable and set our son up for success from day one. From the beginning, Robin has been generous with her time, knowledge, and encouragement — and that support didn’t stop after pickup day. Cadence attends training at Runchkin Hill, and the structure, standards, and clarity Robin brings to every session are exceptional. She understands working breeds. She understands intensity. And more importantly, she understands how to channel it productively. You can tell this isn’t just breeding or training to her — it’s stewardship of the breed. And let’s be honest… when you willingly bring a “Maligator” into your home, you need someone who knows how to manage both the chomp and the charm. Robin absolutely does. If you are looking for a breeder and trainer who prioritizes temperament, health, structure, and long-term success, Runchkin Hill Farm is it. We are beyond grateful for Robin and the foundation she has given Cadence — and for the continued guidance as she grows. ?“

“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.“

“My pups have been going to Seacoast for years, and they absolutely love it! I wouldn't trust them with anyone else!“
