Pet boarding/training near Thorndale

“I can’t say enough good things about The Muttley Cru. I brought my dog Cosmo to them because she has serious anxiety, especially around people, and I honestly wasn’t sure how much progress was even possible. From the first sessions—both private dog training and group dog training classes—it was clear these trainers truly know what they’re doing.

Michelle and the team, including Madeline, worked closely with me and Cosmo on reactive dog training, dog behavior training, and dog obedience training, and the results were real—not quick fixes, but lasting change. They helped me properly use a prong training collar (safely and responsibly), successfully crate train Cosmo, teach her core commands like sit, stay, and most importantly, showed me how to correctly walk her on leash, read her body language, and handle situations around other people and dogs.

What really stood out was how much education I received as the human. I learned what to do—and what not to do—when dealing with anxiety, reactivity, and overstimulation. They gave me practical tools to calm her down, redirect her focus, and build confidence instead of reinforcing fear. That made all the difference.

If you’re searching for professional dog training near me, dog obedience training, reactive or aggressive dog training, or even in-home dog training, The Muttley Cru is absolutely worth it. They offer effective, structured training that actually works, whether you’re doing one-on-one sessions or group classes.

Their dog training facility is based in Chester County, PA, but I would easily recommend them to anyone looking for dog trainers in Montgomery County, Berks County, Delaware County, or the Lancaster area. This was one of the best investments I’ve made—not just for Cosmo, but for myself as a dog owner. Nothing happens overnight, if you stick with it (it is a grind), your patience will be rewarded.

Highly recommended. Thank You Guys!!!!!!“

“They took care of my pup ! Responsive and patient with my boy. It's especially nice to see even their younger staff so professional and pleasant. I would absolutely recommend this place.“

“Wonderful staff, very caring and friendly. Doc was thorough with exam and vaccine schedule. Great advice for maintaining healthy pet weight. Pricing was super reasonable. This is our new vet. Very happy we went here.“

“As a first-time dog mom, dropping off my furbaby was daunting. But Veronica made all the difference—she sent photos, videos, and regular updates throughout his stay. Being away from him felt so much less stressful knowing I was always kept in the loop. I felt completely at ease knowing he was happy and well cared for.“

“Been going there for 7 years always have a positive experience. Can't recommend this place enough. Even my cat agrees.“

“Dr. Todd is hands down the best veterinarian I have ever been to. He takes the time to thoroughly explain everything, answers all my questions, and I trust his expertise completely. I feel 100% confident leaving my dogs in his care, which is huge for me as a pet parent.

We recently had to get surgery for my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, and Dr. Todd performed it perfectly. My pup recovered so well, and we couldn't be happier with the results. It's such a relief to have a vet who genuinely cares and delivers exceptional care.

The entire staff at Lenape is wonderful. Everyone is caring, professional, and are so patient and kind with my doggies that can sometimes be a little difficult. I also really appreciate that they're honest and fair with pricing, it's refreshing to find a practice that puts animal care first without trying to overcharge you.

If you're looking for a vet you can trust with your fur babies, I highly recommend Dr. Todd and the team at Lenape Vet!“

“Womanog is amazing. Everyone that works there is so in tune to dog behavior. My dog goes to daycare weekly and has also boarded there. He gets excited as we turn into the driveway there! They are clearly doing a great job with the dogs as their Facebook pictures can attest. The dogs have a great time and they take good care of them. This place is a hidden gem.“

“Animal Resorts were incredible accommodating and willing to work with our odd requests, despite some of them being out of the norm. They were very kind and transparent, and took their time to discuss safety and precautions with me. I am so appreciative of their efforts and strongly endorse them.“

“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.“

“Our golden retriever loves playing with the other dogs. She loves going every day. Daycare has helped her with socializing with other dogs and people. The staff really loves the dogs.“

“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.“
