Pet boarding/training near Phoenixville

“Our husky has been going to waggy tails for over 2 years now. Sarah and Mikey are the BEST! We have full confidence in the facility, staff, and owners. They have great communication with their clients, sending report cards, and pictures of your dog at the facility. We use their daycare weekly and when we needed them to Board our dog for 9 nights, it went amazing! We are so lucky to have Waggy Tails so close to us. I’d highly recommended this facility!“

“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.“

“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.“

“The best place to take your dog, the staff cares so much about all the pups and they are super communicative. Amazing day camp and the vet is also fantastic“

“Our family brings our dog Dexter here for grooming. He always looks fantastic afterwards. He is very sensitive and he is reactive, but he trusts their team and they always take such great care of him. They work with him to make him as comfortable as possible. We couldn’t recommend them more!“

“The whole team is so compassionate, caring and reassuring. I really appreciate how informative and helpful they’ve been through the onboarding process with my dog.“

“Had a great experience with obedience lessons at A+ obedience. I can now confidently walk my dog on a leash at local parks without him, dragging me around and without him, barking at every person who walks by. My dog now listens to me when I give him command commands, and our life has truly improved having an obedient pup. Training has also helped make our human animal bond stronger.“

“This organization has a good variety of activities and programs from basic behavior training to more advanced skills such as agility, scent work, and obedience. I have found the trainers to be prepared and knowledgeable. Highly recommend DTCCC.“

“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.“

“I have been using Dr Perkins and her staff since 1994. We are on our fifth dog. Dr Perkins and the other Drs are knowledgeable in all aspects of pet care. They work with the owners in all aspects of the animals care. I have used the boarding facility's as well I have always been happy with the boarding care as well.“

“The owner, Kathy is an exceptional groomer, friendly, courteous and cares a lot about pets and animals. I deal with and service groomers in 3 states and she's one of the best groomers I have ever known. Her kennels are well taken care of and she knows her business. If I lived in her area I wouldn't take my dog anywhere but to her!“

“We have been bringing our pup to Miss Drew's for over a year and could not be happier with both their daycare and boarding services. My pup goes to daycare excited, is greated with smiles and pets, eagerly awaits her end-of-day treat, and comes home pleasantly exhausted. All of the dogs have a special place in the hearts of Miss Drew and her Crew.“

“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.“

“Old school doc! I love it. Simple to make appointments, well priced, and very sweet to my pups.“

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

“i brought my kitty in for an urgent care visit. i was greeted by the very friendly front desk employee. i had a great experience with the front desk, vet and nurses. the vet i saw was very thorough with the exam and explanation for what my cat was experiencing. my kitty got the necessary medication and is all good now! wonderful experience, i would absolutely take my pets here again“

“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 bring my dog here when we go away on trips because I feel he is very safe and taken care of. I use the kennel because he has issues with other dogs . I also feel good they are connect with the hospital.“

“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.“

“Very well organized and for us they hit all the basic commands we wanted for our puppy like sit, stay, and much more. Definitely worth going but you do need to practice at home for things to work because they're not miracle workers so expect to do homework to get something out of it. Overall I'd highly recommend them.“

“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.“

“Myself and my dog learned so much. Flash stayed on site for 2.5 weeks and was retrained with basic commands. I was taught the commands and the correct use of his ecollar. We will most likely go back for boarding and follow up training“

“We had such a wonderful experience with At Attention. Vania is terrific and did such a great job training our high energy puppy. He really struggled with jumping and impulse control and by then end of our 6 sessions we saw a huge difference in his behavior. We highly recommend them for training.“

“Mannerly Canine offers top notch training! Shawn helped fix our dog who had severe separation anxiety. Our veterinarian recommended Shawn to us bc the anti-anxiety pills were not working and our rescue pit mix, Jimmy was only getting worse. after training it was like night and day. Jimmy was so much more confident being left alone vs. prior to training. And his obedience commands are awesome! So glad we found Shawn. The MacCarthy's HIGHLY recommend Shawn and Mannerly Canine.“
