They are extremely organized, with time slots provided for the guests. They have so many wonderful items in their shop to purchase and enjoy with your pet, especially products that support other small businesses and companies. I thought that was awesome. They have both an upstairs and a downstairs space for the brunches, a back grooming area and they make charcuterie boards for the dogs! This place is worth checking out if you are in the area and are looking for an experience with your furbaby!

Right downtown, we stopped in and were blown away by the quality of products and beautiful space. Brie sniffed all the merchandise and picked out a fun jester collar which suites her perfectly. They have everything you are looking for for your pets needs! She also indulged in a chicken mutt ball (meatball) and got to enjoy it in the relaxing and beautiful seating in their upstairs space. They have a full menu of cafe items, made specially for dogs, and offer seasonal specials like a Pupsgiving dinner! As if that all isn't enough, they even host events like yappy hour, pack walks, barktoberfest, brunch, a howliday bash, and more! For all those asking about an indoor dog park, this place has one and dogs can be off-leash inside! Just check-in at the counter and sign a waiver before your pup can romp around. They have other locations in Montville and Warren which specialize in boarding and training. This is a perfect place for your pup!!

She came home in shock and growled at our other dog (who she loves and has never previously growled at). Whatever they did during the day together, she was affected quite negatively.

My husband and I have a very anxious, neurotic (and handsome) doggo. He's highly dog reactive and…read moreenergetic and has a troubled past. We've tried several trainers and boarding facilities in various cities and states. We even resorted to trying a famous YouTube trainer and he came back worse and even more anxious. Typically, these expensive "board and trains" we've participated in have ended with medication recommendations and a "good luck". One final trainer recommended we try Mind Of Dog because she also wasn't able to break through. I'm so grateful we did. He's thriving and comes home exhausted. An added bonus is the people training we've received. The best part of all of it, is that he's finally getting the exercise and structure he's always needed and deserves. They handle the dogs calmly, but with lots of structure and clear boundaries, which our dog desperately needs. We can finally go to work and travel without worrying that he's being mishandled or ignored. We're so grateful to have found this place and I have to admit, I was waiting for him to fail again, because we had lost all hope. I highly recommend that you give Mind Of Dog a shot, especially if you're in a similar position as we were. Thanks, Mind of Dog! Senna loves you all and is so grateful to be able to play with dogs without fear and anxiety.

The playpens have cameras on them, so I often look in on Pepper through the app. He's active, curious, and attention-seeky while he's there, just as he is when he's home with me. It helps they have long hours, as I work a long day. They open at 6:30a and close at 7p on weekdays. On weekends, they still close at 7p. That said, make sure you understand the fee schedule here - there's a fee if you forget your pup's collar, and a fee for staying past 10a the day you pick them up from boarding, currently waived if you buy an exit bath.

I also never felt particularly welcomed during my time there. I brought my own dog here a few times, but the strong odor and noticeable buildup of dog hair made me question the overall cleanliness of the facility. Another concern was hearing staff members curse at dogs, which I found unprofessional and upsetting in an environment that is supposed to provide care for animals. The building itself appears outdated and could benefit from significant renovations. In particular, I think the store area should be separated from the dog areas, as the constant barking can make the environment stressful and disruptive. Overall, based on my experience, I did not feel confident in the facility's cleanliness, professionalism, organization, or atmosphere.

After a few months of working with Rebecca (virtually), I was introduced to many methods to help us work on the reactive behavior, which has helped tremendously! I now have a toolkit and a better understanding of my dog's emotions. I have watched Rebecca's journey with her own reactive pup, Brodie, unfold on Instagram. She has a deep awareness and understanding of dog behavior and emotions, and it shows in her kind and compassionate care toward her own dog and her clients. Through positive reinforcement, she prioritizes the happiness and wellbeing for both the pups and their people, and it helps set the stage for a stronger bond!

He is always returned to us calm and with wonderful manners. Because of this, Zeke enjoys a very free life--being able to come with us anywhere and behave in public settings, with people and other animals. I cannot recommend Hound Harmony more!

Karin is an excellent trainer. I contacted her for help with our nine-month-old puppy after doing a…read moregreat deal of research on local trainers. Her reviews were all positive and consistent in their comments, and her rates were listed and extremely reasonable. Karin responded to my inquiry within an hour and we had a scheduled phone call that same evening. She came to our home the next night. When she arrived, she quietly observed our new puppy and our nine-year-old dog, and then gave us detailed instructions on what she wanted us to do. She also had us try some of those instructions while she was still there to guide us. At the end of the visit, we scheduled another session for two weeks from that date. Things are already so much better in our home. Karin got right to the root of our puppy's issues and quickly came up with a plan for us to execute. She is a great communicator and just made everything seem doable. Most importantly, our dogs responded to her immediately. She clearly understands dogs and likes them. It was easy to see that, for her, it was about them as individuals, and not about a set method that she adheres to. From our first conversation, I could see that Karin loves what she does. She is curious, observant, and determined to find a way to help her clients and their dogs to understand each other better and to build relationships based on trust and consistency. She just calms the chaos that having a puppy can sometimes lead to! Do not hesitate to turn to her.

Since we've trusted K9 Nanni for daycare with our older dog for years, it was an easy decision to turn to them for training. Ashley, their head trainer, was incredible--she kept us informed with daily updates, photos, and videos, and met with us weekly to review Nora's progress and teach us how to continue her training at home. Nora came back still the sweet, loving puppy we adore, but now she's confident, calm, well-socialized, and an amazing listener. The entire team genuinely cares about the dogs, and it shows. We highly recommend K9 Nanni for both training and daycare--our dogs get excited the moment they realize they're going!

Chris has set the bar incredibly high and we feel very safe using him. You cannot find his price point, impeccable customer service, trustworthiness and dry humor anywhere else if you searched up and down the tristate area. Most importantly: our two large shepherds are obsessed with him. Chris is tenured, over communicates and pays close attention to detail. There is no one else I'd recommend servicing the Morris county and surrounding areas to take care of your babes while you are away or in a pinch. If you like detail, grab your coffee and read on: Family Dynamic: Nala: Pure Bred German Shepherd, 90 pounds, 4 years old Arlo: (Rescue) German Shepherd/Great Pyrenees/Husky mix, 1 1/2 years old Sardine: Domestic long hair, prince, 2 years old The only way to begin this review is by starting with Arlo, who is the sole reason our household feels like chaos. Now controlled chaos with the help of Chris, but chaos nonetheless. I rescued Arlo after losing my picture perfect 5 year old pure bred German shepherd to cancer. My thought was by rescuing a puppy I can train unwanted or learned behaviors and it wouldn't have any trauma. Not the case, and I learned the hard way that a dog with separation anxiety requires compromising efforts to ensure your dog is not distressed 24/7, otherwise your cortisol will be through the roof. I adopted Arlo when working remotely and spent 4 hours daily for the first 8 months training on a strict schedule. He's trained. He can come, heal, stay, go to place, sit, down, spin, speak, touch, lay chill, quiet- the list goes on. He simply chooses not to. No amount of leadership, high reward treat or toy will capture his attention span longer than maybe one minute. He's a healthy blend between Beethoven, the golden retriever from Disney's UP!, and dennis the menace. Nothing but a huge ball of love that doesn't know his size, Arlo can easily buckle the knees of a 200 pound man or accidentally knock grandma down requiring a hip replacement. We have two dogs actively fighting to be the alpha on a daily basis, and a mischievous cat who likes to instigate play. If unsupervised, it's tom and jerry, except the cat is the one chasing the dogs not realizing it's like playing Russian roulette with the jaw of Fur missile- but I digress. After exhausting trial and error efforts we have a routine down to a science that works. Any change in the routine shakes things up. This made traveling or extended day plans an anxiety driven nightmare because we had no solution. Friendly reminder when you have two 90 pound working dogs, you can't just ask the neighbor or family to watch them. Before using Chris, I utilized two different highly reviewed kennels for travel. The first Kennel experience: Arlo was returned to me walking on 3 legs, yelping in pain that required $800 X-rays. The second Kennel experience: Arlo was returned to me with HPV virus and warts all over his mouth (absolutely disgusting) and kennel cough that cost me $500. (All of which pet insurance did not cover, which on a side topic is a complete and utter scam.) Fast forward to now: We can travel, not have to worry and finally enjoy ourselves. Our dogs routine is much different than the average, but it works for us and Chris just gets it. When we are away he stops by our home 4-6 times depending on the weather. He gives us detailed updates, photos, and a sense of relief. The most refreshing part is that we trust him to make the judgement calls when we are away and don't ever have to think twice or worry. Review kicker: After two years of business we've built a strong relationship with chris. While we were traveling earlier this year, I texted him saying: "Nalas birthday is tomorrow. I cannot believe we are traveling on such an important day. Can you sing to her to make her feel loved.' "If you want her ears to bleed, I sure can." I genuinely thought this was where this conversation would end. Until I received an unexpected VIDEO of Chris singing happy birthday to Nala with a puppy crown on, a pumpkin bday cake and a lit birthday candle. Are you kidding me? Trust me when I say Chris is WAY too busy with too many clients to be running around buying gifts because someone sarcastically asked him to sing happy birthday. He did that because he loves Nala like his own, and we love him for it! Thank you A Pets Tale for making our life simpler and more enjoyable with the help of your services. We will continue to recommend you as long as you are in business. - Mother of Dooblani's
