Pet Boarding Training near Islip

“I write this with great sorrow. Paul trained our first dog and when we got our 2nd, I knew he was the guy to call. Paul has passed away and is running free with the pups forever. Thank you for your help in the past and wish we could work together again. Rest easy.“

“The best team—I’m so grateful for them! My dog, Snoopy, is 12 years old and not used to being away from his family, but Bianca and the rest of the Barkgata family have gone above and beyond to accommodate him. They’ve given our family dog a vacation of his own! We are truly thankful for Barkgata and wouldn’t trust anyone else with Snoopy. If you’re looking for a reliable, caring, and professional doggy hotel, Barkgata is the perfect choice. Highly recommend!“

“After spending over a $1000 for 3 weeks at a highly rated training company, myself and my puppy were left untrained. Frustrated and at a loss I found Vincent, I’ve spent the same money BUT for 16 weeks of training (I signed up for 2 sessions) and the results have been phenomenal!! Vincent doesn’t just train you, he teaches you. His deep understanding of dog - owner relationship is truly astonishing. If you are willing to take the time and effort to implement and practice everything Vincent teaches you (which you should if you are a responsible dog owner) then you will see amazing results. Our boy is 9 months old and we take him everywhere, everyone we encounter is astonished how well he listens and behaves. No matter the age of your dog, Vincent can help train both of you.“

“We have brought our Shiba here twice now (boarding for a week). Staff is great. Some are more knowledgeable about animals than others. But care and kindness is something that we have always seen (that is what matters most). They are also very professional. If there is a concern or request, they will assist you in a timely manner, and everything is noted. We had a few requests since our breed does not take well to other breeds, they were more than accommodating in giving him his own time away from the others, and allowing us to bring his own food (due to allergy) and bowls. One fixed issue we had the first time: our dog came back with kennel cough, we called them solely so they could inform the other pet owners...they surprised us with an email apologizing and asking for a copy of the vet bill(they paid for the whole thing!) Kennel cough is a normal thing (as per our vet), so don't get overly upset if this happens... we get colds on airplanes, yet we still fly! I do suggest bringing their own bowls (food and water) and making sure everything you bring is marked with their name.“

“I would give the entire experience a 5. I feel equipped with the skills and knowledge to have a better life with my lovely fur baby. She deserves the best life and k9 Mania helped me give this to her.“

“Dr. Cronin is incredibly caring, kind and humane with you and your fur babies. She's honest, transparent and explains everything to you so that you make an informed decision. She doesn't manipulate you into getting unnecessary things that won't help your vet reach a diagnosis. And if what is needed is something out of her expertise, she will provide a referral to a trusted expert. I have the utmost respect and appreciation for Dr. Cronin and her friendly staff. Because it's a small practice, don't wait until the last minute to make an appointment. However, if you need to be seen same day, call and many times they will do their best to accommodate you. This is a great and loving practice.“

“Recently my 13 y.o. cat, Skippy, was diagnosed with a tumor that is causing nausea and vomiting. Towne Line Veterinary staff, especially Dr Corso and Meaghan, have been extremely accommodating in addressing Skippy’s needs and my concerns. When he wouldn’t eat last week, I reached out and they told me to bring him in right away. The compassion that they show for our fur babies is amazing and very genuine. I can’t say enough about this practice.“

I cannot say enough great things about Royal Paws. They have been an incredible support system for our family and our dogs. From training Ranger as a puppy into an exceptional service dog to caring for our pets during our travels, Royal Paws has consistently exceeded our expectations.

Their team is nothing short of amazing. They are incredibly accommodating, even in last-minute situations, always finding a way to help us out. Every time we drop off or pick up our dogs, we learn something new from them – whether it’s about training tips, dog behavior, or overall pet care. Their knowledge and passion for dogs are truly unmatched.

What truly sets Royal Paws apart is the way their staff treats our dogs like family. It gives us peace of mind knowing that our pets are loved and cared for just as they would be at home. One moment that really stood out was when our dog was on his deathbed while we were traveling. The compassion and dedication they showed during that difficult time were beyond words. There is no other place we would have trusted with his care. Their empathy and commitment to ensuring his comfort were remarkable.

Ranger’s journey with Royal Paws is nothing short of extraordinary. They got him as a puppy and trained him into the remarkable service dog he is today. Ranger is now a vital part of our family and works with me every day at my practice, helping patients feel comfortable and calm. The training and foundation Royal Paws provided have allowed Ranger to travel all over with me, including trips to Albany to meet with legislators and state senators, where he always behaves impeccably.

Ranger’s talents don’t stop there. He even took on the role of an actor in a local production of Annie, flawlessly following every command on stage. One of the owners from Royal Paws even showed up backstage to support Ranger during his performance, demonstrating their genuine care and dedication to the dogs they train – even long after they are no longer their responsibility. This level of commitment speaks volumes about Royal Paws' passion and integrity.

Although we haven’t used their membership or daycare services, we frequently board our dogs there when we travel and rely on them for training. Their ability to connect with and understand each dog’s unique needs is truly exceptional. We continue to be grateful for everything they’ve taught us and how they’ve helped us build a stronger bond with our pets.

If you are looking for a place where your dogs will be genuinely loved, cared for, and trained by passionate professionals, Royal Paws is the place to go. They have earned our trust and loyalty for life!

Thank you, Royal Paws, for being a part of our family’s journey and for always going above and beyond for our dogs!“
