Pet boarding/training near Woodland Park

“LECA has been amazing, wonderful staff, great team and very knowledgeable about how to get the most out of my pup! We've been coming here for years and we can't say enough good things. The service is great, the boarding, training, and day care are easy and flexible. Really a great service for pups that need a bit extra.“

“After many visits to Arlington Dog and Cat hospital, they have been very consistent in being a clean, friendly and an accommodating environment. The support staff are very nice and always take the time to speak with me and listen to my concerns. The Veterinarians on staff are all very knowledgeable and take the time to address the issue. The prices are the prices. Arlington D&C is relatively affordable considering the cost of pet healthcare.“

“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!“

“First time going to this location it seemed like the staff love animals, went in for an emergency checkup and was seen very quickly. Very nice location with options of treats, toys, and medicine for my kittens. The vet that saw my kittens was as friendly as can be, even providing a lot of caretaking tips that I didn’t know. Can not complain in the slightest. THEY EVEN HAVE FREE COFFEE AND BISCUITS“

“Jenny has been taking care of my very skittish VERY anxious pup for years now. I really don’t know what we’d do without her. She’s kind, very patient with him (bless her) and so communicative. We get pictures of him when we’re on vacation and pick up and drop off is always a breeze. As nervous and scared as he is (which makes me worry about him) I know he’s always in good hands with Jenny. We appreciate her SO much!“

“I highly recommend Hugo as a professional dog trainer. He trained my pitbull who was deaf & did an amazing job with him. Back in November I rescued a Cane Corso who was extremely aggressive and reactive. But through the proper obedience training & personal protection and bite work he completely transformed him into an extremely well behaved dog. I can take him anywhere in public and even the mall off leash he’s really amazing. Our next step is to introduce him into the dog sport of PSA“

“MixyPaws is the best! Zephyr and Kendra have been amazing and are great with my dog. They are super kind and helpful, always keeping me updated and always very responsive.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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.“

“Pat has been an amazing mentor as we navigated the adolescence stage with our mini Dachshund as first time dog parents. He is honest, professional, knowledgeable, and humorous which we appreciated greatly. We attended all of the group puppy classes at larger pet stores and did not see the behavior changes we were looking for until we started sessions with Pat. We loved that he allowed us to bring in other family members who also spend a lot of time with our dog so they could be trained on how to appropriately handle him too. Working with Pat has given us confidence and optimism that we needed as first time dog parents. 10/10 recommend.“

“Today was my first time getting my dog groomed here, and I absolutely loved the experience! My dog seemed even happier too. I really appreciated how they provided examples of how much hair you can have taken off—it made everything so much easier. I’m so glad I found this place, and we will definitely be back! ?✨“

“My pup Luna had an amazing time! It was her first experience at a doggy daycare and interacting with multiple dogs. Posting pictures of her on their social media pages gave me a sense of joy and pride. She looked so happy! Luna and I look forward to many more visits!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Love Boxer & Dane! Extremely clean, friendly staff, and love how excited Paulie gets when I pull up to the building. Definitely recommend bringing your dog here!“

“My furchild is very discerning when it comes to people. He hadn't had the best experience with a vet, and I am so thankful to have found West Orange Animal Hospital. He fell in love, at first sight, with the vet techs and Dr. Dick! He was comfortable lying on the floor with his head on the vet tech's lap. Dr. Dick was gentle informative, thorough and made sure my dog was comfortable with each step. WOAH clearly has a love for animals and a deep respect for the people who love their pets. They embue trust and confidence in the animals and thelir guardians.“

“Couldn’t love this place more. My dog loves it. The staff is amazing and gets to know your dog. Five stars is nowhere near enough. The photos speak for themselves Happy dog.“

“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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

So how does Pete do it?

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.

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.“

“The young woman at the front was so jolly and nice as she serviced our dog. It's apparent that she loves her job. The results of the grooming say the same. I'll remain a loyal customer here.“

“Mahwah Vet and Board is absolutely amazing! The staff, especially Kim & Ry are just so caring, professional, and truly treats every pet like family. From the moment i walked in with my puppy Teddy, everyone was friendly and attentive, making both me and Teddy feel so comfortable and welcomed. The facility is clean, well-maintained, and clearly run by people who genuinely love animals. Kim and Ry are just truly exceptional…their kindness, knowledge, and genuine care make all the difference. Whether it’s boarding or grooming with Tatiana, I always feel confident knowing Teddy is in great hands. I can’t say enough great things about Mahwah Vet and Board to anyone looking for trustworthy, compassionate, and top-quality care for their furry family members. Five stars ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️“

“Tom helped me greatly! His knowledge on dog psychology, tips, and personalized plans were so appreciated and successful. His intuition, experience, proven strategies, and obvious love & respect for animals are what set him apart and why I recommend him for newly adopted dogs and stubborn behavior & energy issues!“
