She comes home happily exhausted. Berkshire Dogs Unleashed has been fantastic integrating dogs, of any age, size, and breed for socialization. Lea has also had grooming and regular nail trimming. She has been here since week 1 and her training with them was above and beyond expectation. They were also very proactive when kennel cough ran rapid twice last year and were able to prevent dogs from being affected. The staff that the Kohlenbergers hire treat the dogs (and their people) like family. Courteous and respectful. BDU had also made incredible strides for their community. They supported and held a fundraiser for a young, sick boy from Pittsfield who had to spend months in Boston....(#Carterstrong) At Christmas, they sponsor a giving tree for kids in need. No tag was left behind. Every child cared for. They have held a wonderful canine carnival fundraiser for BASK (Balance and Service K9s). Story book donations to Williams School. They even sent me a get well token after I had emergency surgery in February. More recently, (Berkshire Poodles with the Kohlenberger family) has donated several comfort dogs (18 to date) into all of Berkshire County. I can tell by this expression how much she enjoys the facility and the staff. In their constant photo shares, daily, you can see she's playing and engaging with others. See for yourself. They are more than happy to show you around. We trust them with a member of our family.

James is incredible. We sent our 7 month puppy to James for four weeks last year. We were, and…read morecontinue to be, so happy that we did. She did not have any problems (and continues to be a wonderful dog and that's probably because we sent her to James). She had basic commands down. After James, she became excellent at multiple commands. She would sit at her bowl for hours if you don't release her (by verbal command). You can leave her with steak in the next room and won't eat it if you don't release her. You get the picture - James knows what he is doing and will set you, and your pup, up for success. He was very thorough in explaining what to expect and how to continue her training at home. We could not be happier. Our pup is also happy, and she loved James. When we brought her back for boarding a couple nights she couldn't wait to hang out with James. We had to save up to send her, and it was worth every penny. We would do it again. Highly, highly recommend. For any pup!

As a last ditch effort we called James @ Empire K-9 2.5 hrs away from our home. After 5 weeks of training with Ross he was transformed into the best dog we have seen anywhere. James spent a whole day with myself and my whole family to train us on how to handle and communicate with our new family member. Here we are over a year later and if we call James with a question he is quick to respond back with a helpfull answer. When we need to board Ross we drive him down to James @ Empire K9 2.5 hours away because he is the only one we trust with our Ross. Thank you James for this gift of being able to communicate with our deaf dog, you have no idea how much joy this little Miniature Bull Terrier bring to our family now.

These folks are amazing! Your pet is treated just like family, which makes sense because these are…read morefamily people. There are no kennels, but a big fenced backyard and a "spa-like" area where your dog has his own couch, a water fountain, a tv a big rug and all the squeeky toys he can possibly need. They feed their own dog an organic diet and and will do so for yours too. I left my family member here during a hotel stay in a local spa and was hoping they could come and pick him up in the morning and drop him off in the evening, but it turned out that he received such good and constant care it was just better for HIM to leave him frolic in the fresh air and chase squirrels with constant company than leave him in my hotel room by himself in a crate. Their operation is clean, their attention to detail amazing. I got a daily report card of his mood, eating and elimination habits and Kathy even sent me daily text messages that included photos and video updates!! Really above and beyond for a very reasonable cost. Their website has all the licensing and certification information. Seriously, I am a over protective animal lover who is obsessed with the good care of her "kids". I could hope for no better day or overnight care than Berkshire Pet Pals gave my baby. This is the real deal.

I liked Kathy and JC immediately - they are wonderful caregivers - reliable, detail oriented, and they obviously love what they do. My cats responded to them immediately, even my little shy guy. I appreciate the texted photos I receive each visit, and how easy it is to schedule and pay. The service is more than affordable, especially for all the quality time spent with your pets. I highly recommend them.
