Pet Sitting near Malvern

“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.“

“Boarded my puppy there and she appears to have had a great time. I love the people there.“

“We just moved to the area last year and were lucky enough to find Trooper Vet Hospital. They are wonderful. We really love the fact that they have a separate entrance for our cats.“

“Joe and Beth are amazing trainers. The daycare side is great as well. My guy loves it!!“

“We have loved Karen’s K9s since stating one of our dogs in daycare in 2018. We’ve since moved twice and live too far for daycare but drive an hour each way to board our 2 dogs. Meg, Steve, Eric, and the rest of the staff are amazing and treat our dogs like their own. The flexibility they offer is also unmatched with always accommodating a last minute drop off, adding an extra day, and being on standby when we were awaiting the arrival of our two human babies. Highly recommend trusting them with your pups!“

“We have been boarding our dogs here for a few years now. Just wanted to take the time and let everyone know what a wonderful kennel experience our dogs have each time we drop them off. The staff at Hickory Springs is the best and I would give them 10 stars if I could. One of the more affordable kennels in the area. We know when we drop our dogs off they are well cared for and loved.“

“Brenda is the owner and the groomer! She is the best in Chester County! I refer all my clients to her! She really gets to know your dog and knows exactly what cut to provide.“

“Erinn Podoshen, owner of Positive Pet Training in Wayne, PA, has been taking care of my two cats when I travel, for many years. There aren’t enough stars in Google to rate her services, so I will give her the best review available on this platform. Her service is affordable and a great value.

She goes above and beyond the role of caretaker and trainer. On my last trip this summer, she communicated with me unexpected issues that occurred and managed them with kindness and consideration. Because Erinn is thoughtful and proactive, my concerns were addressed and I didn’t worry about a thing. Her attention to detail and pet care suggestions and solutions are mindful and impactful. I highly recommend Positive Pet Training for the care and training of all your non-traditional family members.“
