That is, until we met Nick. He was absolutely incredible with Sadie and changed both Sadie's and our lives for the better. Within a few minutes he recognized her lack of confidence. After a few short weeks we went to pick up our girl and the change in her was amazing! She now has more confidence and is less anxious, her barking has subsided, she has great recall and we now walk together with loose leash heel. During her stay with Nick, he would send daily pictures, videos and updates keeping us connected to her and their progress together. If you are considering training for your dog, stop thinking and do it, you would be in excellent hands with Nick. He treats your dog like family! We mare beyond thrilled with our experience with Nick and New England dog training Company.

HORRIBLE GROOMERS! ARE YOU AWARE DOG GROOMERS ARE NOT LICENSED IN MASSACHUSETTS AND ANYONE CAN…read moreGROOM YOUR DOG? My Cavalier King Charles Spaniel had TWO out of FOUR unbelievably horrid groomings. 1st so bad I took dog back. Manager couldn't believe how bad scissoring and eagerly took 45 minutes to redo her with next grooming at no charge. Next two groomings were fine. Curiously, those groomers are no longer working at PetSmart. Fourth grooming worse than first. She didn't clip hair between foot pads, cut only very tips off 1/2" toenails, hair sticking out all over. Feet trimmed on only one sides with under growth on other side uncut. Awful brush out. I brushed fistfuls of top and under coat when she returned home. Impossible to inspect grooming quality when dogs are excited to be picked up. Chest not clipped to breast bone or shoulders blended to pattern. I didn't want to put her through another hour of grooming, so I didn't take her back. I paid an extra $20 for shedding control and gave $10 tip prior to fully looking at dog. No shedding difference noted so don't waste your money! I complained after deciding to give them one more try and was told they only have one decent groomer and then the manager wasn't comfortable doing my dog due to my previous dissatisfaction. Was also told my previous appointment was with "in-training" groomer. I am disgusted with myself at even trying to give them another chance. Thought my problem would be resolved by asking for experienced groomer! Obviously, the dogs aren't checked prior to releasing!!! ARE YOU AWARE DOG GROOMERS ARE NOT LICENSED IN MASSACHUSETTS AND ANYONE CAN GROOM YOUR DOG? I worry about the safety of my dog as the groomers seem to come and go on a regular basis with most groomers "in-training". After my final and last conversation with the manager, I would NEVER trust the safety of my dog or spend good money for totally unsatisfactory grooming!

My dogs are part of my family so I do not just leave them with any day care service.

Needless to say, I was able to enjoy my vacation knowing they were in excellent care. Plus when we picked them up they were both fresh out from a bath.

The "Pop Up" class - Obility - is so much fun. The agility equipment is arranged (differently each time) around the large yard and the dogs (and people) enjoy the challenge and novelty of going over and through all of the jumps, balance boards, and tunnel. Patti and Sandy have been great. Unlike other trainers I've had, they demonstrate exercises with the dogs in the class. This is so much more helpful to observe than the trainers' fully trained dog's demonstration. Sandy and Patti are very observant about the behavior of both the dogs in the class as well as the people handling their dogs. I've learned a lot and Niko loves it. We continue classes for fun and enrichment even though he has a really reliable recall.

Sandy approaches all of her sessions with us with honesty, empathy, and kindness. To say she goes above and beyond is an understatement. She takes my daughter's phone calls when she has questions, is willing to make house calls for training "emergencies", has filmed videos for my daughter's high school to help prepare students for having a service dog in school, and she has become a true friend of our family. Sandy also genuinely LOVES our dog, which we can see with every session. This puppy has honestly saved my daughter's life, and none of this would have been possible without Sandy. If you are looking for a trainer who truly loves dogs and who will take the time to genuinely get to know you as a human being, Sandy is your trainer. I cannot recommend her enough.

I was apprehensive about using collar training for my rescue dog. He's a hound/pitbull mix who is…read moreyoung and very strong. While completely lovable, he was out of control when he first came to our house. While playing in the back yard, he nearly bit my BFF because he was so excited about running around and playing. I had taken another, far more docile dog to K9 Instincts for boarding for many years. Matt & his staff were exceptionally kind and caring to Rachel. I knew they also did training so I decided to call and have Axle evaluated. Axle went for a 3 week "boot camp" and it was completely worth the time and expense. Even though it's "shock collar" training, it completely transformed his behavior. After the first three or four months, we began to use the collar periodically in situations where we knew he may have some problems (he was rescued from a fighting dog situation, so he still struggles with other dogs). It's now really a pleasure to be out and about with Axle. While talking, Matt mentioned that I would probably enjoy Axle much more with training. He was completely right. I no longer have anxiety that Axle will be out of control and a threat to others.

I received a recommendation from a co-worker to go here to have my dog trained. I should have…read morelistened to my gut instinct during my initial visit to the facility and not brought my dog here for training. I thought Brittany was very rude, condescending and acted like my dog had the worst behaviors of any dog. She is not aggressive and does not behave badly; she is just very vocal and reactive to other dogs when on leash. When I went back to pick her up, I noticed a big difference in her and was not happy about that. I feel like I got a very timid dog back and it took us about a year to get her back to her old self. Does she come when called and stay when I put her in a down and stay, sure, but she is still very vocal and still reactive to other dogs when on leash. So basically, they did not fix the issue that I brought her in for. The training is definitely not worth the money paid. I would not recommend this facility for training. Do yourself a favor and go somewhere that you can get trained with your dog.

I decided to go forward with the classes and he said I had to do a new contract and still pay the 195. I did not. Kind of a stupid way to treat people. Credit card company said fee was "excessive".

I spent over $578 at this business, including $422.65 for a 10-pack of classes, $48.15 for the…read moremandatory orientation, and additional costs for dog materials like treats and bones. The orientation, which cost nearly $50, felt like a waste of time. I was treated like a beginner and walked through the basics of how to use a clicker and give a dog a treat. I understand people need instruction, but this could've easily been covered in 10 minutes, especially for someone who has common sense. The bigger issue, however, is their 60-day expiration policy on class packages. I only got to attend two classes before my package "expired" on December 9th. I reached out on December 30th after being unable to sign up for a class and was told that they only extend passes for medical reasons (illness or injury). When I asked if they could extend my package by 60 days (since I clearly missed the fine print), I was essentially told no. Instead, they offered me the option to pay more money to upgrade to a "Great Dog Flex Pass." Here's the kicker: I was trying to sign up for classes, but many were already booked 2-3 weeks out, and the remaining spots were only available if someone canceled, with 24-hour notice. So, with a busy schedule it is tough to plan around that. When I asked for an extension I was told "Our expiration dates are clearly stated on the website and displayed by our scheduling system each time you sign up for a class." Fine, but if you're running a small local business, wouldn't you want to keep a customer coming back, especially after they've already spent so much money with you? I was just looking for a little understanding and flexibility, but instead, I felt like I was being nickel-and-dimed. Very disappointed with my experience and will not be returning. If you're looking for a place that values its customers and operates with a little empathy, I suggest looking elsewhere.
