Mahwah Veterinarian Groom & Board
“After frantically searching everywhere for a grooming facility that would groom my 15 year old Poodle, I was recommended to Mahwah Vet Groom & Board. My dog, Sam, had been going to the same groomer for many years, but as he got older, his arthritis worsened, his mental state declined and he became aggressive and would not let the groomer do anything, so they could no longer take him, for their safety as well as Sam’s.<br>I am beyond grateful for meeting Tatiana who is the groomer at Mahwah Vet Groom and Board. She was so patient with Sam, and really took the time to get to know him and see what would work best for him. She asked for my husband and I to stay with Sam while he was getting groomed, and that made such difference! Thank you Tatiana for doing such beautiful work and thank you to the staff for being so kind and accommodating.”
LePooch Chateau
“Before choosing Le Pooch Chateau, we tried several daycare and boarding facilities and even did trial stays at different places. The moment I walked into Le Pooch Chateau, I knew it was the perfect place for Aiwa. The facility is cage-free, extremely clean, and truly feels like a home away from home for dogs.<br><br>What gave us the most peace of mind was the daily updates. Throughout Aiwa’s 21-night stay, we received photos and videos that reassured us she was happy, comfortable, and well cared for while we were away.<br><br>The owner and staff are incredibly friendly, caring, and accommodating. They treated Aiwa as if she were their own dog, and that means everything to us. When we picked her up, she was happy, healthy, and honestly seemed to miss all the friends she made during her stay!<br><br>Leaving your fur baby for an extended period can be stressful, but Le Pooch Chateau made the entire experience worry-free. We are so grateful for the love and care they gave Aiwa, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, clean, and loving place for their dog.<br><br>Thank you, Le Pooch Chateau, for taking such wonderful care of our girl! ❤🐾🐶”
Fido Fidelis Dog Training
“Fido Fidelis has truly made me a better person and a better dog owner—this review is long overdue. It’s a long one, but worth the read.<br><br>We started working with Fido Fidelis in 2022, and Pete has been training our dogs for nearly four years. His specialty is working with “challenging” dogs—those who are human-reactive, dog-reactive, struggle with separation anxiety, and more. Simply put, he is the best in the business.<br><br>Pete is fantastic with puppy training and general behavior work. He helped train our blue heeler/schnauzer mix puppy in just two weeks and played a crucial role in helping our high-energy pup successfully integrate into our family. But his impact didn’t stop there.<br><br>Our older dog, Rio (a pit mix), had a difficult past—she was attacked as a puppy by a resource-guarding dog at a dog park, which made her reactive around other dogs. For over a year, we worked with Pete to help her tolerate others, knowing she didn’t need to love every dog, but needed to coexist peacefully. When we decided to rescue our second dog, Bailey, in June 2023, Pete was our very first call.<br><br>He not only refreshed Rio’s foundational training but thoughtfully used that process—alongside Bailey’s training—to help Rio understand that Bailey was a friend, not a threat. Within weeks, the two became inseparable. They now play, cuddle, and genuinely enjoy each other’s company—something we once weren’t sure was possible.<br><br>Even more impressive, Rio has begun forming positive relationships with other dogs. With Pete’s guidance, we’ve taken things slowly and intentionally, and she’s now comfortable with select dogs. We’ve even started fostering, which would have been unimaginable before working with him.<br><br>So how does Pete do it?<br><br>His approach is incredibly well-rounded. He doesn’t just train dogs—he trains owners. He uses a balanced, thoughtful methodology (including the four quadrants of training), tailoring his approach to each individual dog and household. There’s no one-size-fits-all solution here—Pete meets you and your dog exactly where you are.<br><br>We’ve been through a lot with our dogs, and honestly, I don’t know where we’d be without Pete. If I could give Fido Fidelis 100 stars, I would. After four years of working together, I recommend him to everyone I meet without hesitation.”
KingSpa NYC
“Had to leave a review for KingSpat NYC! This was my baby Rossie's very first grooming, and they absolutely exceeded my expectations. She came out looking amazing and smelling like a $1,000 bill! 😍✨<br>Omg Josh was caring, professional, and made sure me and Rossie felt comfortable throughout the whole experience. You can tell they truly love what they do.<br>If you're looking for a place you can trust with your fur baby, this is the spot, y'all — 100% recommended! 🐾❤”

Instinct Dog Behavior & Training
“We've had our pup, Bacchus, for almost 2 years. He is a rescue from Texas who made his way to New York. Over the last year and a half it became clear he needed additional support. I spoke with the team at Instinct, including the founder, and they agreed that he would benefit from their program. Rebecca worked closely with Bacchus over his boarding program and did his in-house visit, and I cannot sing her praise enough. My pup was pretty anxious on walks, averse to engaging with other dogs, and inattentive to me when he was anxious. By the time we got him back after two weeks, he was able to pay attention to us on walks and ignore other dogs.<br><br>As a facility, I loved that I was able to tour the place in advance and that they advised an overnight stay. This made me feel like they had his best interest in mind. They even told me when they were concerned for a possible outbreak of kennel cough, and advised me about their cleaning protocols. They also offered to let me pick my dog up early. I declined given their protocols, but this is a very dog-centered approach.<br><br>They provided cute camper updates that comforted me while he was away, and shared videos of his progress. It was great to see him engaging with the trainers and being with other dogs.<br><br>Rebecca was our trainer and I think she's a real star. She loved Bacchus, and you could tell how much of a bond they forged in their two weeks. I didn't include that I wipe his face daily in his intake form, but since he's a shih tzu mix, it's almost required. She made sure to wipe around his eyes to keep him clean. To know your dog is in the care of people like this is invaluable.<br><br>They only use positive reinforcement, and this is exactly the type of environment I wanted for my dog. When they explain their strategies to you, it's clear that they are trying to ensure the dog is engaged, rewarded, and cared for.<br><br>Progress since he has left the program has been remarkable. Bacchus has a dog cousin, and they recently started playing together. We thought co-habitation would be the most our dog could achieve, so this was unfathomable previously. I have Rebecca and Instinct to thank for this.”
The Educated Dog
“I had an amazing experience working with Deanne, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. When we first started, my puppy was struggling with separation anxiety, barking, and some challenges on walks (such as eating non-food items). Deanne created a clear, personalized plan that helped us address each issue step by step.<br><br>Deanne taught my puppy basic commands (sit, down, stay, etc.), no jumping when greeting people, walking calmly on leash, introduced him to the dog run in a safe and positive way, and gave me the tools to manage and greatly reduce barking that used to happen throughout the day.<br><br>What I appreciated most was how patient, knowledgeable, and supportive Deanne was. She not only helped my puppy but also helped me understand how to reinforce good habits and maintain consistency at home.<br><br>If you’re looking for someone who truly understands dog behavior and sets you and your pup up for success, Deanne is absolutely the best choice.”

PJH Dog Training
“Pepe has been tremendously helpful in training my reactive, senior pitbull. I was very skeptical that my dog would be able to improve due to her age, mobility issues, and severity of her reactivity but she is like a different dog. She now can walk past other others without any reaction. Working with Pepe is one of the best choices I could have made. He is so kind and knowledgeable and even included his own dog in the training so my dog could get more comfortable being around another dog for prolonged periods of time. I highly recommend Pepe to anyone struggling with all the uniquely NYC dog issues.”
Lincoln Avenue Cat & Dog Hospital
“This was our first visit with our little budgie named chirpy. She’s afraid of everyone. However, when Dr. E held her she was so calm. He has a wonderful connection with animals. He is kind and gives you choices through his recommendations of how to help your pet. Dr. E called back several times the days following our visit to check on chirpy and her progress. The staff is wonderful and I would highly recommend taking your loved pet to this clinic. Thank you, Dr. E and everyone in your office.”
