I have been taking my dogs there for years. It is the closest you will find to taking care of them…read moreyourself. Everyone who works there is fabulous and such a dog lover. Julie the owner, I just cannot say enough about her. She is one of a kind and an incredibly caring, wonderful person. Recently I took our 2 labs to be boarded while my husband was having surgery. My older lab who was almost 12 developed an emergency medical condition (she had underlying medical problems), Julie notified me there was a problem and rushed my dog to the emergency room. Unfortunately my dog had to be put down and Julie was just so compassionate throughout the whole process. She had taken beautiful pictures of my dog while she was there and healthy and presented them to me and one was beautifully framed. I cannot say enough about this woman and facility and her caring staff. Whether you need boarding or your dog needs a day of play at doggie daycare, this is the place to go.

My dog has stayed there several times, but this most recent time, she developed GI issues, so they switched her to a bland diet. After 24 hours of not keeping the bland diet down, they brought her Urgent Care, where she had an xray to rule out a blockage and received fluids, anti-nausea and probiotic meds. Then they brought her back to the kennel where they got her to take her meds and she was able to keep the bland diet in. For those 2 days until I returned, they kept me fully informed, made recommendations but asked me what I wanted to do, conuslted with Urgent Care and my vet, and took care of my dog like she was their own. Jill, the owner, even gave me her cell number so I could reach out at any time, and texted after I picked up mt dog to see how she was feeling! I'm so grateful for their experienced guidance during a stressful time and the TLC my dog received there, I'll never bring my dog anywhere else and you shouldn't either!

I have had 4 dogs of my own over the years. I took the first 2 to weekly obedience training, and…read morewas able to train the other 2 on my own. My daughter recently got her second Rottweiler pup. Because she has a young family and a demanding job, I was able to help her with the pup as I recently retired. We were encountering what we thought were aggression issues. I looked into training at DogTowne. I felt he needed formal training, but not at an entry level. I spoke on the phone with Kat and she suggested a couple of private sessions so that she could evaluate him, and then move on to Varsity training group class. What we were experiencing with him was not aggression; he was just "asking" for play like he would with his dog siblings. Kat was exceptional with all aspects of her training and was very knowledgeable! I would highly recommend her for private or group training sessions.

After over ten years of bringing my dog here monthly (well over 100 appointments), this was my…read moreexperience: This groomer requires an 8:00-8:30 AM drop-off. On this day, I arrived at 8:40 AM with my elderly, blind dog. The door was locked, and I could clearly see the owner inside washing another dog. I rang the bell and then stood outside in the rain waiting, assuming she couldn't hear me. When she finally looked up and saw me, I waved. She responded with a dismissive hand gesture through the glass. She then came to the door and told me I would have to reschedule because I was late. There was no acknowledgment that I had been standing outside waiting, and no consideration for the fact that I was there with an elderly, blind dog in the rain. I understand that businesses need policies and schedules. What I did not expect--after more than a decade of consistent, monthly patronage--was the complete lack of courtesy in how this was handled. If this is how long-time customers are treated over a 10-minute delay, I would recommend others keep that in mind when considering this groomer.

Salon was small, cozy, and it showed how much love he had for animals. Gary was very friendly and knowledgeable and has been taking care of pets for a long time (25 years, If I recall). He made us feel very comfortable leaving our pup. My dog, Onyx, is half Maltese and half dachshund, and he has a history of nipping people when they walk through the door. Gary understood my dogs anxiety and did a great job of introducing himself and no one got nipped. He did a great job with the grooming and nail trimming. He was also very quick; 1.5 hours, which is very fast because Onyx is usually at the groomers for at least 3 hours! Price was very reasonable. I will be returning with my dogs in the future.

We were looking for a doggy daycare due to our dogs isolation anxiety. When we called, happy dog,…read moreit was clear the owner loves dogs and loves what she does. She let us know about nap time and was willing to accommodate anything he needed if he was not able to rest independently. (He did great and Michelle was on top of his need the first day). We were able to get in for an interview/temperament test within a week even around a holiday And once we passed, we able to start right away. The owner is very responsive to any questions or concerns you have. Her staff love the dogs and your furry friend gets a big hello upon arrival. Our pup comes home happy but tired and ready for cuddles and rest. Also, the packages they offer are extremely fair and worth it. Thank you Happy Dog!

The first time I brought my dog for a boarding experience here, it was absolutely wonderful. I…read moreinteracted with a young woman who was absolutely lovely to talk to, very kind and clearly cares a lot about the dogs. At the end of the stay, my dog came home exhausted and happy, and I got to see some awesome pictures of his stay. The second time I brought my dog here a few months later, I was met by Michelle, the owner (she hadn't been there the first time when I dropped off, or during the temperament test). I will admit that I made a couple of mistakes here -- I was 15 minutes later than my anticipated drop-off time (but still within the drop-off window), and while I had seen an email from her when I booked my reservation, I missed the line at the bottom of the email with the link for my confirmation, and so I missed the info that was included through that link about how to prepare his food. This is entirely my mistake, I dropped the ball there by being distracted so I missed some important information that I should've known in advance. However, when I arrived with my dog, Michelle was clearly very irritated with me from the get-go. I apologized for being late, and tried to hand her my dog's food (I had put his meals in individual ziplock bags trying to make it easier, and put these inside a plastic container with his name and instructions written on it). Michelle scolded me for bringing a container and said she couldn't accept it; she took the ziplocks out and then scolded me for not writing his name on each bag, for separating out his food when they could have done it, for "bringing rawhide treats" even when I clarified that they were completely rawhide-free (she still refused to take them), for bringing his daily medication in his pill bottle (I had used an old pill bottle of his so it would have his name and dose on it, but she kept telling me she "couldn't be responsible for getting it back to me" even though I told her that was perfectly fine), etc etc. No matter how many times I tried to apologize and own up to my novice mistakes, she just kept circling and circling with her complaints. Now, I'll admit that I'm pretty sensitive and anxiously attached to my dog, and I was so shocked that I began to tear up as she continued to scold me (this feels so strange to write as a grown woman!). Michelle either didn't take a breath to notice or else just didn't care. I completely and wholeheartedly understand that she is running a serious business here, and takes the health and safety of our dogs very seriously which is why she has these rules. I am GLAD they have these rules. However, after I apologized the first 10-15 times and told her I understood, that I hadn't been told any of this the first time my dog boarded there so I didn't realize; I would expect her to ease up. I myself work as a manager at a preschool center, so a somewhat similar field, and I cannot IMAGINE ever talking to a parent/client the way she spoke to me. After she took my dog from me mid-scolding and left me standing at the door shocked and without getting to say goodbye before my first real time being away from my dog, I ended up sitting in my car for another 10 minutes just trying to compose myself. To top it off, my boyfriend was the one picking my dog up the next afternoon; he was coming directly from working in NYC, and was worried about traffic, so around 4:45 he called on his way to let her know his ETA was 5:45 but wanted to let her know JUST in case traffic pushed it past 6:00; Michelle told him firmly "You can get here anytime between 5 and 6." This feels like a pretty rude reaction to someone who is calling you well in advance as a precaution. In the end he did arrive around 5:45, but was reprimanded for not having our dog's leash (since he was coming from out of state, I'd think it's pretty obvious why that happened, but thankfully our dog is small enough to be carried). Happy Dog Pet Resort is excellent with dogs. The other staff that I met were friendly, kind, and compassionate. My dog was very happy there. Unfortunately, it's the owner Michelle that completely soured the experience for me and has left me looking for a new daycare center. I can't justify leaving my favorite being on the planet again with someone that could be so cold and compassionless.
