Pet Boarding Training in Malvern

“Maddy groomed our dog and she did a great job. Our dog does nor like to get groomed and can be difficult, but Maddy said everything was good. Never had an issue at Wagsworth or any of their groomers.“

“My dogs LOVE GVPH. They are always so excited to visit. I have used GVPH numerous times for daycare and boarding over the past two years and have nothing but good things to say about them. I know my boys are in good hands when they’re here. I have two very large very active dogs that need a lot of exercise. When trying to choose a place in the area I saw this place and liked the small business feel of it and the staff are so helpful and kind. We will continue using them for as long as we’re in the area.“

“We recently celebrated our Dolly's first Gotcha Day anniversary. K9 Resorts Malvern and the fantastic staff has played a huge role in helping Dolly come out of her shell and adjust to her new life with us over this past first year. Dolly regularly comes to small daycare and engages with the staff and other dogs. Usually Kelly or Aiden are at the front desk when we arrive for drop off and they always welcome Dolly with open arms and excitement when she rounds the corner to greet them.

When we arrive to pick up Dolly, Emma, Maddie or Taryn are always there to greet us. They are always forthcoming with fun updates and pictures about Dolly's day and how she continues to come out of her shell with the staff and the dogs.

We are so thankful for all of this great attention for Dolly. It goes without saying that it truly rests our mind at ease when she's welcomed so genuinely and affectionately. Thank you for all that you do for our Dolly. Keep up the fantastic work. K9 Resorts Malvern is TOP NOTCH.“

“I’ve used What a Good Dog for Manners 1 and 2 with both of my golden retrievers, and I’ve always been so impressed with the entire staff. Every experience has been wonderful. Recently, I scheduled a private training lesson for my two-year-old golden retriever with Mary and Sam, and I truly couldn’t have better things to say about our time together. It was absolutely worth it.

From the very beginning, they took the time to observe and understand the dynamic between me and my dog — even down to watching him get out of the car. In just a short amount of time, they were able to read us so well and give incredibly helpful, thoughtful feedback on how to support his impulsiveness, keep him more engaged, and build a stronger connection during walks.

I’m a hands-on, visual learner, and they went above and beyond to teach and educate me on reactive behaviors, especially around pulling and jumping. They introduced us to the Gentle Leader, which has been absolutely game changing for our walks and has set both me and my dog up for so much more success.

My dog walker came to the session as well, and Mary and Sam were so patient, encouraging, and nonjudgmental with all of us. Their knowledge, calm energy, and willingness to explain the “why” behind everything made the entire experience truly outstanding.

I will definitely be booking another session in December or January and highly recommend working with Mary, Sam, and the entire What a Good Dog team.“

“My girl loves it here, and we love seeing the fun pics from here day. Keep going here even though we move twice as far away as when we started.“
