I left a 3yo registered English Lab, for 2 weeks at $2,500. I wanted higher level training than…read morewhat she had already been through and specifically requested not to do the basic course. Nick Morrow said he had things for her to do that were not the basic course. After 1 week, they are supposed to provide a video and they did not do that. I was supposed to be getting communication through a messenger app, but that didn't happen until the day before pickup, when they also finally provided a video. When I came to pick her up, she had a bloody puncture on the bridge of her nose, which, to me, looked like a dog bite, but Nick Morrow says it's a normal scratch the dogs get from nosing the kennel. The "scratch" has not healed after a month. Regarding the training, Nick had another person train my dog and they did the basic training, like I said not to do. My dog regressed in her training because she is highly anticipatory. The beginning training countered the higher-level training already taught. Bottom line, not only did my dog come back battered, but I had to retrain her from what they did. They don't follow specific requests and don't communicate as I would've wanted during the tenure. I wish I put her in a safe shelter, instead. Nick Morrow wouldn't return any money because he thinks he did a good job. Just don't go there.

Our Bernese Mountain Dog has been part of the Balanced K-9 family for almost 4 years. He started…read morewith Chuck and Luciana when he was 4 years old (he is now 8), and the reason we drove him from Boston to Connecticut was because the training program and people were so highly recommended to us. We were immediately happy with the results, the love, and the attention our dog got from being with them. From the moment we walked through the doors, the team made us feel welcome and at ease. Our dog spent an initial training program with Luciana and her team, and since then, he visits every few months for a refresh or a holiday stay. They have given us sound advice on everything having to do with our dog! The trainers are incredibly knowledgeable and patient, tailoring the sessions to meet our dog's specific needs. The facility is clean, well-organized, and designed with dogs' safety and comfort in mind. They also have great customer service--always prompt to answer questions and flexible with scheduling. I highly recommend Balanced K-9 to anyone looking for professional, effective, and compassionate dog training and caring.

We started with having one dog trained due to his reactivity to other dogs, which has been transformed (not to mention he's become a much happier and more responsive dog), then our other dog joined in and our home became so much calmer and our dogs actually seem happier. When we decided to add a 3rd rescue, Jose was incredible in working with us to get her integrated, helping her through a board and train, and being so responsive, guiding us through the process, and helping us learn how to be even better dog handlers. We are so grateful to 203K9 and cannot recommend them enough!

I contacted Lisa right when we got our puppy, Moxie. She sent me a detailed questionnaire and all…read morevaccines needed to attend. The questionnaire made me confident and proved they wanted to learn about the dogs in advance. Once our puppy was old enough to join, I reached out to Lisa because I was concerned that Moxie was scared when meeting new dogs, especially puppies, and due to her being too young + covid, she had not met as many. I was probably more worried than necessary, but Lisa NEVER made me feel that way. She spent lots of time talking with me about a plan to make sure Moxie and I were comfortable. She had us come in the evening after most dogs had left, and she knew that the dogs that would be there were good dogs for Moxie to meet. It went very well and Lisa assured me that Moxie's behavior was normal for a puppy and nothing to cause concern. Lisa suggested a specific day for Moxie to start coming based on personality matches with the other dogs. Now Moxie goes at least once a week and sometimes three. Moxie gets very excited and I can barely stop her from jumping out of the car to get in. She has boundless energy and Dawg On It helps with that, but above all, we know Moxie is safe and happy, while we can get some work done at home! Thank you, Lisa, Al, and Kai for your amazing help and for always texting back so quickly!

They have daycare at their lovely home for a full day or half, overnight boarding, and can also come to your house to take your pup for a walk. All for very reasonable prices. I couldn't have imagined a better doggy daycare; they are so loving. They even send picture updates throughout the day. I am so grateful to have found them! Check them out! You will not be disappointed.

Working with Nick and Hope Gables has resulted in remarkable a transformation of our two dogs…read morebehavioral challenges, and it's happened in a very short period. In just a few sessions spread out over two months our walks went from a depressing and scary situation into an absolute pleasure. Throughout our time with Nick he's been incredibly patient, thorough, and accommodating. He spends a ton of extra time with us ensuring we understand everything he's teaching and can practice between session. Having worked with many trainers over the years, and spent fortunes resulting in little to no change, Hope Gables has proven to be a breath of fresh air!

I honestly can't say enough good things about DGS! My dog starts whining the second we turn on…read moreCross Street (because he knows where we are going) with pure excitement and when he walks in, they greet him by name and make him feel so welcome. He absolutely loves going, he comes home exhausted every time. One thing that is especially important to me is that he never comes back home sick, which gives me peace of mind sending him. That has happened with other daycares we've tried, and I've heard stories from other people that are terrifying, but nothing to worry about with DGS! We've even moved about 30 minutes away and we still will bring him there for boarding/daycare/grooming. Overall, this place is the best combination of fun, safety, and genuine care. I wouldn't take my dog anywhere else. A special shout out to Felicia, who goes above and beyond every single time. She trims his nails better than anyone else and is always so genuinely happy to see him. The feeling is definitely mutual! You can tell she truly cares about the dogs. It seems like they really do hire employees that are truly animal lovers and that is so important when you are sending your beloved pet to be cared by others. Would recommend to anyone!

For almost 25 years, since I moved back to Westport, since Dr. Rocco Frank was in charge, I have…read morebeen going to this pet hospital, I have been through emergency visits, boarding, regular yearly checkups and on January 2, 2026, I and my husband made the agonizing decision to have our 19 year old cat put to sleep. As sad as it is, I am left with the memory of the kind and caring way I and my kitty were treated through the years and especially on this last day. Dr. Sam, Dr. Rebecca, and their staff made the hardest decision easier to take, and now for me to live with. Very compassionate people. For them, this is a calling. At 77, I think I may not rescue another kitty but If one should find me, as has often happenned in my life, I will continue to use Westport Animal Hospital to care for my rescue. One other thing, in all the times I have boarded my cat she has always come home completely healthy, with no coughs or other issues. I love the fact that this facility is in an old house with a porch and an upstairs which I believe someone lives in because the boarded animals are not alone after hours. I grew up in Westport and this place is so homey.
