Pet Boarding Training near Oakland

“Ramapo Valley Animal Hospital has been such a comfort to our family during a very difficult time. Our dog fought IMHA for three weeks, and throughout that battle Dr. Katara(especially) and the entire staff were consistently kind, patient, and compassionate.

They took the time to explain what was happening and what each step meant in a way we could actually understand. Even when the situation was heartbreaking, they treated our dog with so much care and dignity, and they treated us with empathy and respect as we tried to make the best decisions we could. Saying goodbye on January 5 was devastating, but the compassion and warmth we were shown made an unbearable day a little more manageable. Thank you, Dr. Katara and team, for your professionalism, your kindness, and for being there for us through every step.“

“Our pup absolutely loves going to Unleashed for doggy daycare. The staff is great and he has a fantastic time with all of his furry friends! ?❤️“

“The Dog Tamer did an amazing job with my dog. The training was clear, effective, and caring. My dog came home calmer, better behaved, and happy. I could tell Tommy truly loves what he does.“

“When we rescued our pup (malinois/bernedoodle mix) in October, it was the first time we had a puppy, let alone a large breed puppy (at 6 months he is already 62 pounds). Admittedly I didn’t know enough of what I was getting into, and mistakingly expected this experience would be as laid back as that of our prior rescue of 12 years. I was wrong and quickly realized I would need help. Our friend/neighbor who has had 2 German Shepard’s highly recommended Anne and Good Dog Pet Training. In fact, while a 20 minute ride from our home, Anne was a perfect fit to help me and worth the drive!! She has a Malinois herself, and helped me in each of our private sessions to work on Buck’s responses and behavior. One key example she helped me to overcome my aversion to a prong collar to see amazing results such that Buck and I can now walk for more than 45 mins at a clip, while being patient with other dogs and as we pass people. She has also helped with the importance of structure, and practice exercises to do on our own. I would highly recommend Anne and her team!!“

“This is the first time I put my dog in boarding after 11 years as my dog sitter wasn’t available. A friend recommended Mahwah Groom and Board. I had him go for a few trials before my big trip. Both times, he came home happy. My trip was almost two weeks. They sent me pictures and photos of Dexter while I was away. He looked happy and I was reassured that he was in good hands. I also had him groomed before I picked him up. He came back happy and beautiful. I will definitely board him again when I am away.“

“I cannot recommend John Soares enough. If I could give him 10 stars I would. Before working with John, taking our dog, Dylan, for a walk was a nightmare for me. He would go berserk and pull on his leash whenever we came across people and other dogs. Since he is so strong, he caused me to fall on two occasions. John is an exceptional dog trainer who has transformed our energetic rescue dog into a well behaved companion. His clear instructions and positive reinforcement methods made training enjoyable for both us and Dylan, leading to noticeable improvements in Dylan’s behavior. Now taking Dylan for walks is a pleasant experience. John’s gentle manner, love of dogs and affinity towards them really makes him an ideal trainer. John possesses a deep understanding of canine behavior and training methods. He is patient, observant, empathic, and skilled at communication with both dogs and their human owners. He is dedicated to ensuring the well-being of the dogs he works with. I would encourage anyone to consider John’s services. Thank you so much, John, for everything you have done for us.“

“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.“

“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.“

“Gloria, Dom, and crew have been giving my dog Basil the best care ever for many years, allowing my family and me to enjoy some really incredible trips together with extra peace of mind knowing that our dog is in the best of hands! Thank you so much and look forward to seeing you again!“

“Great costumer service , nice and smiling faces around , they are really know what they doing here also , my dogs are so happy with them bc they are so friendly and kind“

“For more than 2 years, Laurie and her trusted team of walkers have been caring for my dogs… multiple walks a week, but more than that, loving care… with photos, observations and updates … I can’t thank them or recommend them enough. I am replacing and they are the one part of my time in NJ I will miss the most. My dogs too… I fear I will never find anyone who so lovingly and responsibly care for my dogs. So grateful!“

“We’ve done two sessions with Pat and we’re already seeing a difference in our dog’s overall behavior. Pat is knowledgeable, thorough, and affable. Would highly recommend“

“I am so grateful for Tanner's..Jerry LOVES it and when he is there I know he is in the best hands. Last week, I was away and Jerry had a medical issue. Tanner's reached out to me immediately to update me. They made an appointment with his vet, Bergen County Veterinary Center, which happens to be right next door, and then they brought him back, took amazing care of him and administered his medications until I got home a day later. Tanner's is a special place.“

“lynn's puppy class is a great primer for dog training and an excellent place to get some important socialization for your pup! The class is held in an amazing space within a vet clinic - highly recommended!“

“Madison Dog Resort is amazing! The staff is so caring, and the facility is spotless and thoughtfully designed. Our French Bulldog loves it here and always comes home happy. We especially appreciate the updates and photos they send. Highly recommend for top-notch pet care!“

“Huge shout-out to Frank ? He took the time to work with us one-on-one, made training fun and easy to understand, and you can truly tell he loves what he does. If you’re looking for a dog trainer who cares as much as you do, I can’t recommend Frank enough! ??“
