I called our groomer, WE DIG YOUR DOG, but they were closed on Monday so I didn't leave a message. A little later I get a call from them, they saw I called. The groomer Laura was there, and when I explained the situation she said to bring her in. They were able to remove the burrs, and then she said there was no charge. I was amazed that there were businesses that were so incredible! I honestly don't know what we would have done if they hadn't stepped up for us. They really do dig your dog!

The spacious outdoor areas are so much fun for the dogs to run and play. The staff really does their best to pair up the dogs with others who have similar temperaments. Our pup comes home exhausted, well fed, and happy! Southborough kennels does offer extra add on services like Pupsicles, baths, or bedding washes. (There are others but we've never utilized them). The ONLY complaint I have about Southborough Kennels is that they book up REALLY far in advance. Their booking system is all online and offers calendar dates several years out, so many customers just go in and book all the "Christmas Weeks" for the next five years. It makes getting a spot the hottest ticket in town! But clearly, that says something about Southborough Kennels! So I'll recommend, as long as you don't take my dates! ;)

I have used Southboro Kennels on a few separate occasions to board my dog, Sunny. This facility is…read moreincredible and you can tell that the staff takes great care of the dogs. It is by far my kennel of choice when planning to board him. Sunny is a timid boy who is overwhelmed by rambunctious dogs and can become withdrawn and shut down in unfamiliar spaces - the staff takes extra effort to provide him outside time with relaxed and calm dogs. They've sent videos of him in the yard with the others and I can see just how happy he is, running around just like he does at home. I see this as a testament to just how much he loves it at Southboro Kennels. I also like that the actual kennel spaces are separate enclosed runs with indoor and outdoor spaces, which can house one dog or a few dogs from the same pack. I feel that the dogs get more space and more freedom than at other kennels where they are confined to a single room and taken out periodically for bathroom breaks. I have referred a few other fellow dog owners here and they have all been impressed with the service at Southboro Kennels and in all cases have made this their boarding facility of choice (even traveling out from Boston to come here)! The one thing that I will say is that because Southboro Kennels is so well-loved by their clients that it can be difficult to reserve boarding for your pets , especially in the peak seasons (summer and winter holidays). I've called 2 months in advance to inquire and have been placed on a waitlist due to the kennel being fully booked, so keep this in mind when you are planning trips. and try and book out as early as you can!

You can get help to fix bad behavior that the dog does at home. I started doing competition obedience training 2 years ago after just 6 months of training I was able to get my dog a CD title in just three tests. It's a no nonsense training. The instructor understands dog behavior which makes it easier to understand why your dog does things. In addition to great training the have top quality food. Great safe toys. And good training.

Since then we have enrolled in several classes because we love it so much! We have gained so much knowledge and support in each of these classes that is priceless as a first time dog owner. Champion is also the only place I feel comfortable boarding my dog. The level of care and love that they show to my boy is unmatched. Each time we pull into the parking lot his tail is wagging a mile a minute because he is so excited! The pricing for both day and night boarding is incredibly reasonable especially with how well taken care of I know he is. We owe so much to Champion Kennels and can not say enough positive things about them!

I wanted an activity class for my 8 year old dog, and signed up for an Obstacle class at All Paws…read more This class is so much fun and gives my dog confidence, and Debbie helps dogs and humans succeed and grow in their own partnerships. The class is not a "high activity", like agility, it's a slower pace, for us who don't move too fast. Debbie is an excellent trainer, she "gets" each dog and their owner. All Paws location is easy to find and a great place for training. Whether puppy obedience or adult obstacles, All Paws has a great offering of classes, I highly recommend All Paws Dog Training.

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!

We…read moresigned him up for the intensive 3 week training program and it was 100% worth it, and I would recommend. He was reactive towards other dogs and strangers, and because of his age, I was worried he was set in his ways. Thankfully, Marina was able to build his confidence and my pup isnt as fearful or anxious on his walks anymore. I am so so grateful that with her help, Luffy's quality of life has drastically improved. He can control his impulses and is so much calmer and confident. And now that he is calmer, I am also so much calmer and the walks have been actually relaxing rather than stressful! I kept him on for the weekly hikes, and he absolutely loves hiking with his new crew. I am so shocked how we went from a dog who could only go out at dawn or at night to avoid others, now gets excited to hop into a van full of other dogs.

My lab Cooper loves her and he usually comes back pooped - which helps me with my guilt when I work long days. I've definitely met some dog walkers that didn't make me feel as comfortable as Marina does...clearly she is intelligent, thoughtful and really cares about animals - all of which should be a required to deal with people's pets, but sadly that is not always the case. Over the years I've met several people that you could tell weren't really responsible so when you find someone like Marina that "gets it" is it's like finding gold!!! It's great to know my "baby" is in excellent hands. Cooper and I really appreciate you Marina, Thank you!!!
