Pet Boarding Training near Lodi

“My dog loves his time at HoundsTown and I love the staff there- knowing he is safe and in capable hands!“

“Just had our first visit and I am blown away!!! My 70-lb bully mix, Ferdinand, absolutely hates vet visits and this is the only office that made him feel comfortable enough to even be touched. Dr. East & Jessica were incredibly kind and understanding, even when Ferdie started to act out which I felt so bad about. He didn't need a muzzle during the exam which was shocking because we've tried 4 other vets in the city this year alone, and none of them were able to lay a single finger on him. Dr. East & Jessica sat on the floor with Ferdie and were super reassuring with him the entire time. Even when he started to snap at them, they were so calm and patient as opposed to all the other vets we've tried who got offended and refused to try comforting him. You can tell they truly love animals and had my dog's best interests in mind. The ladies at the front desk were also so lovely. Would highly recommend to anyone on the search for a new vet, especially if you have an anxious baby like mine. I am so grateful I found this office - finally one that I trust and plan to go back to. Thank you to the entire RVCOC team!“

“So far I like this place and what they offer. I’m a first time dog owner. Tho I had dogs when I was younger I didn’t own them. Alex helped me over the phone. He was helpful as well as Eric I believe his name was, he helped me in person. I appreciate the time and will be returning to this place. It’s far but worth the travel“

“The groomer and everyone on staff are amazing-facilities are super clean-really great experience“

“We love puppy play! Gives the pup time to hang out with other dogs and get social skills plus he is able to get out a lot of energy.“

“12 weeks of separation Anxiety course with Lauren has absolutely changed our life. From a dog who panics as soon as we leave the door to a dog who can comfortably handle a duration of over an hour. I was absolutely blown away by the competency and experience of our trainer and now that th course has ended feel equipped and ready to continue our separation anxiety journey. Thank you CCA!“

“Jennifer is such a knowledgeable, and patient trainer. Brought in my almost 3 years old anxious dachshund there for overreacting behaviors and was hoping for some guidance. Jennifer really touched on everything, explaining to me why such behaviors would happen, and how could address it moving forward. Highly recommend!“

“My Oreo has just started there and honestly she seems to be loving it! She’s tired when she comes home and the staff is so kind !“

“We are so appreciative of all the work they put in with Bella. A pleasure to work with and so incredibly good at what they do. After Bella’s training - we saw a night and day difference. Can not recommend enough!“

“I took my dog Hershey, who has had bad grooming expierences else where. I have to say I was nervous but the staff and even the groomer Janet was amazing !!!!!!!!!!! Thankyou for handling my baby with care, patience and professionalism you guys are gems and a big asset to the location ! I can't thankyou guys enough! WE WILL BE BACK!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️“

“Lex and her team of groomers always do a fantastic job with our two Morkies. I especially love how quick the girls are in and out - in under 2 hours - without spending all day there. And, I also love the personalized attention our girls get. I really disliked that at a different place I previously took them in Montclair that would keep each pup for 4+ hours which was extremely stressful for them.“

“I have a diabetic senior dog who is on a very regimented schedule for feeding and insulin. For the past 5 months, I've had to hand-feed her meals 3x a day to ensure she could receive her insulin doses. This process became unattainable and very stressful, so I reached out to Frank at Behavior Plus for advice. He offered an assortment of suggestions - adding specific products to her meals to entice her, removing metal bowls from her feeding, adding in a treat/reward approach during feeding times, etc. He also suggested her actions may be related to behavior issues and associating the kibble with pain. We made the changes Frank offered and now our dog is eating on her own for the first time in months! Big thanks to Frank and his team at BPDT - their compassion for pets (and their human parents) are like no other. I am forever grateful for his time and expertise in getting my dog back to her normal self.“

“Carols is a rockstar , he helped us out and addressed all our concerns including scheduling and availability. We are back to being happy and regular customers.“

“Le Pooch Chateau is wonderful! Donna and her team did a great job taking care of our 5 month old puppy Maddy last month! They showed us around and sent us pictures. It was our first time being away from Maddy and we felt at ease knowing she was in such good hands. Highly recommend Le Pooch chateau!“

“In the saddess day, Riverside Animal Hospital treat me and my dog with compation, gave me privacy and time to hold her and say goodbye.“

“My husband and I have a five year old Whoodle (wheaten terrier and poodle mix). She has issues with resource guarding with myself and my husband when we are around other dogs. We’ve seen various trainers over the years with mix success and assurance over their credentials.

After long deliberation and research, we decided to get another Whoodle puppy. My husband has allergies to dogs and this is one of the few breeds he has found that do not cause inflammation. I was very anxious about the situation in case our current dog would be aggressive or unsettled with the addition. Before we got the puppy, we consulted with our vet, Heart of Chelsea (who is generally amazing). Heart of Chelsea recommend we contact one of their preferred trainers, which included Amanda Gagnon dog training.

From the point of booking the initial session, they were lovely to work with. Their services might be slightly more expensive that the neighborhood dog trainer, but they are worth every penny as these people are the real deal. Melissa came to our apartment to meet our current dog and help us with some tips on how to integrate a puppy as well as how to approach our dog’s aggressive behavior toward other dogs. Melissa so professional, smart, but also real. It didn’t feel like she was in any way judgmental or condescending. She offered great advice in person and also via email for follow-up questions. We had her come back again after we get the puppy to check-in on approach and progress. Their services SIGNIFICANTLY reduced my angst about the new puppy situation and made me feel like I had realistic, logical, and positive methods to tackle the situation.

I cannot recommend this Company more for care with your beloved dogs. Melissa and Amanda Gagnon are now go-to resources for us in making sure our furry family members are happy and healthy.“

“dr chan was very informative and gave many options for my cat the front desk was amazing as well as the techs assisting with my cat said my cat was very well behaved and she was good
overall best experience at a vet and the price was very reasonable“

“We can’t thank Megan enough for helping us. Our dog struggles with being reactive around other people and walks tend to be stressful for him. After working with Megan, we saw a positive change. Her patient approach and understanding of dog behavior made a great difference. Megan taught us how to communicate better with our dog and understand what he needs. We highly recommend Instinct to anyone struggling with behavioral challenges.“

“Deanne has been incredibly generous with her time and patience as I navigated life with not just one, but two puppies. Before meeting her, I was honestly feeling overwhelmed and frustrated. Through our conversations, I learned so much and was able to refine both my approach and understanding of puppy care.
Whether it was arranging puppy playdates, being a supportive sounding board, or even running home from the park in the pouring rain—puppies in tow—Deanne was always reliable, flexible, and accommodating. Her written summaries were especially helpful for keeping me focused and reminding me of our current goals.
We all have our own ways of communicating and doing things, and I truly appreciated that Deanne created space for a therapeutic relationship to develop at a pace that felt comfortable for both me and my puppies. Her support has made a real difference for us.“

“We started sending our 1 year old rescue dog Wally to Dogboken a couple months ago, and they are truly the best! Wally goes to a half day of playgroup multiple days a week and absolutely loves it. We get plenty of photo updates, and I feel so much more at ease during the work day knowing Wally is having fun. The whole team is wonderful, and Wally is always so excited to see Kelsey especially!“

“As first time dog owners, finding a place to send our new pup during the day was stressful. Stephanie welcomed us with open arms and helped us transition seamlessly. She comes with a wealth of knowledge that really calmed us as new dog owners and sends us email updates and pictures throughout the day of our pup. We can tell she loves our baby as much as we do and we couldn’t be happier.“

“We love that Camp Bow Wow gives our pups a way to stay active and social whenever we’re away or have a busy day at work. The Camper Cams are especially nice, as we miss them when we’re away and it’s nice to see them playing and having a good time with friends! The owner and counselors are very communicative and always let us know how our girls’ stay was. We can’t recommend Camp Bow Wow Hoboken enough!“

“The owner takes a lot of pride in striving for five star service with both grooming and day care. Friendly staff, and excellent accommodations. Had a groom I needed for my mini schnauzer, and although they had to cancel last minute due to a conflict within their staff, the owner went over and beyond to make it up to me. Can't expect perfection all the time, but the way a business handles customer inconvenience speaks volumes to the character of their business and service. Camp canine did just that. Highly recommended!“

“Tanner's is Finn's FAVORITE place to be when not at home!! He goes there for daycare and as soon as I turn onto Hopper Ave. he's so anxious to get there that he cry/barks until I get him out of the car at the facility The staff is always friendly, kind and very professional with both the animals and humans. I've had collies for 40 years and have always been very particular regarding their care. When I leave Finn at Tanner's I am confident that he is in the best hands possible (besides mine) and he will be safe and have a great day playing. Thank you Tanner's for providing my dog with such a wonderful experience!!“

“Waffles has been going to dog house club for doggy daycare and grooming for over 1 year. He absolutely loves it and so do we. The staff is amazingly kind and we love that it's not a chain daycare place. Waffles is always excited to go and we love seeing the instagram story pupdates.“

“Pat is an amazing doggy sitter, my Bella loves her as do I! I was very happy to receive updates, pictures and videos while we were away for 2 weeks. My mind was at ease and I truly enjoyed my vacation without worrying about my doggy. I highly recommend her!“
