We stayed in my neighborhood because my dog is familiar with the area. I learned a few techniques that are easy to practice and I can already tell my pup is catching on!

Now he is so excited when they arrive to take him on his trail walk. Year round, he gets to hike in fun parks with his "friends" and his beloved Good Hound team members.

I can honestly say I was pleasantly surprised at the service I received and how inexpensive it was. My dog received excellent care AND it didn't break the bank!

Be aware before booking a grooming appointment with Donna B. My mom has been taking her dog's to…read morePetco Needham grooming for years, and had a wonderful groomer named Lisa who sadly no longer works there. Unfortunately, last weekend my mom brought her sweet and loveable 4 year old dog to get groomed, dropped her off like she usually does and left. 3.5 hours later my mom was called and told that they weren't able to groom her since she was "aggressive" and they needed to wear gloves. Upon arrival, my mom witnessed her dog in a crate, sitting in her own poop with an actively bleeding paw. All that was done in the 3.5 hours was a bath and her nails cut. On the counter was a paper belonging to a different dog which said "anxious and aggressive" and Donna B claimed that my mom had signed it. This was false, it wasn't even for my mom's dog, but a different dog. Clearly upset by the abuse her dog endured at the hands of Donna B, the manager on duty, whose name she didn't know, was just as bad and was trying to charge my mom. Are you kidding me?? His complete lack of sense and Donna B's clear incompetence and disregard for the dog that she was entrusted to care for is highly concerning to say the least. My mom spoke to another manager Monday, who was much nicer and understanding, (not sure if his name) who tried to make it right. But the damage Donna B had done is unforgivable, and understandably my mom will not go back with her dog. Do better Donna B and Petco, how you treat animals in your care can have lasting effects. My mom's dog did not deserve what Donna B did to her, so I hope anyone bringing their pet to Petco in Needham for grooming will be aware and think twice before allowing Donna B anywhere near their pet.

We started working with William shortly after bringing home our Bernese Mountain Dog puppy, Henry,…read moreand we're so glad we did. His guidance helped us lay a strong foundation, not just for Henry's training, but for our own confidence as first-time dog owners. William's approach gave us practical tools that made a big difference during the more challenging "teenage puppy" phase. Walks used to feel chaotic, and now they're something we actually enjoy as a family. Friends and strangers alike often comment on how well-behaved Henry is, and we credit a lot of that to the early work we did with William. Puppyhood can be overwhelming, but working with someone who really understands dogs made it feel manageable. We had a great experience and highly recommend William.

I brought home the cutest 9-week old Boston terrier puppy. Shortly after, he turned into the devil…read more I signed up for the 5 private lessons package because I realized we needed private attention. She came to my condo promptly each time. I scheduled at my convenience, leaving a long period between my 4th and 5th sessions. Ida diagnosed my puppy son with dominance, very rare at that early of an age. I had diagnosed him with asshole, and it seemed I was right. She taught me how to show him I was the boss and get him in line. She also taught him all the important commands and gave me homework to strengthen those commands between lessons. She truly got into my dog's head and turned him into a wonderful companion. He is now 8 months old and my best friend. I still call Ida here and there for other problems I have like housekeeping or barking. She suggested a bell he could ring to tell me when he needs to go out and now he uses it every time. I have suggested several friends use Ida. She is a miracle worker.

Her schedule is more flexible than anywhere else I have boarded and/or had Jackie cared for. Drop off/pick up times are easy. She has even been kind enough to pick up Jackie on occasion or drop her off if my and my family's schedule is tight. Jackie loves going to Terry's and has had no issues while at daycare barring the occasional alpha-muscle flexing but with my dog that's typical (she's an instigator and a wuss-- she gets beat up more than I'd like to admit). As long as the weather isn't horrendous Jackie always comes home happy and tired. Fair prices too!

Terry has been watching our 2 year old pup Macy ever since the first week that we got her (when she…read morewas only 6 months old!). I am happy to say that Macy now thinks she has two families as Terry and her family have cared for Macy during more than one weekend/overnight and almost daily daycare and/or woods excursions. I feel comfortable knowing that Macy is in Terry's hands and she gets good socialization with her furry friends while spending her days at The Happy Tail. It's truly a personal approach to doggy care, and if that is what you are looking for then look no further and schedule a meeting with Terry today!
