We just completed our second round of classes with Judy at Proper Paw and have signed up for the…read morenext session. Our two courses this winter were conducted via Zoom and were extremely effective. The next course, this spring, will be in person! The training from Proper Paws has been instrumental in helping our Puerto Rican rescue dog settle into our household. Judy has given us the tools we need to prevent or react effectively to behaviors such as begging at the table, pulling on leash, jumping/nipping, lunging to greet other dogs, etc. While these are all normal dog behaviors, Proper Paws has helped us guide our pup toward more desirable behaviors and we see a real difference. More importantly, we work on crucial safety behaviors such as "stay" and "down" that can make all the difference in a dangerous situation. All of the training is through positive reinforcement. We learn not to expect perfection but, rather, to appreciate progress. I highly recommend Judy and her program for anyone looking to solidify the bond with their dog and teach both humans and dogs in the household to interact positively and be safe in all variety of situations. Highly recommend!

We are currently finishing puppy kindergarten with Judy and have signed up for a second class,…read moreGraduate Puppy. I am really impressed with her program. She has rolling admission, lots of options for classes, and takes a wholly positive approach to training dogs. We have followed her recommendations and now that we are approaching week six, our puppy is actually pretty well behaved! She's not perfect, but I am aware of what I need to work on to change that (thanks to Judy), and I know it is within my power to change the behavior that I don't like by using the positive methods she teaches. She also offers a free socialization class for puppies younger than 18 weeks old. This is basically a class where you watch a bunch of adorable puppies play with each other and learn what is okay in terms of play behavior, what is not, and how to guide your dog toward a positive play experience. It is my favorite hour of the week because they are SO SO CUTE. I don't have photos from the formal class, but it is held in the same space. The pictures are all from socialization class. Highly recommend!

From the owner: If you’re looking for the ultimate dog training program, look no further than Ridgeside K9 New…read moreEngland! Our team of certified professional dog trainers work hard to create custom programs that fit every dog, and every budget; from private training lessons to boarding and training. Most of us lead pretty hectic lives, work long hours, have numerous commitments, and often don’t have extra time to devote to the hundreds of repetitions and 24/7 accountability that successful dog training requires. You would much rather be spending the time you do have exploring, having fun, making memories, or relaxing with your canine best friend! That’s where our Board and Train dog training services come in. Our trainers will create a unique training program to fit you and your dog's specific needs to achieve the training goals. All travel, treats, care, training, tools, and lifetime guarantee of communication with your assigned trainer is included in each of our programs. At the end of training, your trainer will return the dog back to you where they will not only teach you everything your dog has newly learned, but also how to continue with training in everyday aspects within your own home. Our motivation is to see you communicate, connect, and thrive with your dog!

With K9's help, they are best friends who comfort each other in times of stress or excitement. At every opportunity, the two find each other and spend hours simply licking and snuggling with each other. No aggression. No hostility. Just love and comfort. Although one of our boys still becomes vocal whenever an "intruder" (Amazon delivery person) is detected, he is completely controllable. Can't thank them enough!

We did a 4 week board and train and got a happier, more confident, and well behaved dog back. Through her training she improved our puppy's spirit and gave us the dog we dreamed of.

They help you and your dog get to a great relationship. Their services are so worth it, you can stop looking now that you've found K9Kompanion! We found her from someone we know who had a great experience with their puppy and we now know many more customers, all so pleased with the training received. 5 stars every day!!!

My puppy is happy to go there every time. She LOVES seeing familiar faces and the employees are pleasant and helpful. We have had to use them for last minute boarding and day care since we started and they are truly there for their clients. I know I can rely on them and they listen to any concerns I have. I took my puppy for intro grooming to another place and that service messed up her cut. Brianna, the groomer at Gemini, is currently helping to get her shape back and she has had detailed conversations with me on how she will help. My puppy is looking adorable again. Trainers there are very detailed and knowledgeable with what they do and how your puppy responds. I think I may go for additional training. Overall, I'm very pleased and would highly recommend them. Now I understand why their evaluation process is so detailed. They truly care about their dogs.

I highly recommend Gemini alerts new clients of exactly where their facility is located apart from their training facilities beforehand. I spent way too much time trying to locate the office and ended up being late. But, staff here were so nice and understanding! My dog was groomed perfectly and she was truly cared for from that I observed. The grooming session was fast (under 2 hours) and I was notified right away when Movha was ready to be picked up. Mocha was really happy when I came to get her! She was jumping and said by to her groomer (who was very friendly and kind). I will definitely be back to have Mocha groomed here again! Thanks so everything, Gemini!

After being a loyal client for about a year, I emailed Leslie, the business owner, to inform her…read morethat I was moving, giving her my new address, and requesting that she let me know if she'd be able to continue including my dog in her hiking service from the new address. She did not respond and when she came to pick up my dog for a scheduled and prepaid hike two days later, she called me at work. Almost as soon as I picked up, Leslie began a harangue of verbal abuse. Apparently she had taken my message as an attempt to immediately cancel all services, which it was not. Instead of allowing me to clarify or get a word in at all, Leslie yelled at me for the duration of two phone calls, hung up on me, and refused to listen to my voicemail. Her behavior was borderline unhinged. She turned a misunderstanding on her part into a verbal assault and complete severance of our contract. This episode was extreme enough that I would no longer trust her with my dog or as a reasonable person with whom to conduct any sort of business.

Sydney is so excited to see her every day and comes home ready for a nap. Sydney has lots of energy and goes out on trail runs daily with small groups of other dogs. Leslie and her staff are extremely reliable. We trust her with our fur baby and coming into our home every day. They never miss a day regardless of weather or whatever. Totally reliable!! She truly loves caring for and exercising the dogs. She is a pleasure to communicate with and will always accommodate me if there is a special circumstance. I would highly recommend Doggonerunnin, Leslie and her team for exercising and socializing your pets. Marianne~Sudbury

There were 5 large rabbits each in tiny cages, and one of the Holland lop rabbits for sale had an eye infection. The tanks were dirty, and the entire shop looked shabby and depressing.

Heartbreaking, I hope the care improves.
