Yes and yes! After an unfortunate experience with obedience training somewhere else (yes, I Yelped…read moreabout that too), I gave Leading the Way a shot. So happy I did. Shannon is incredible. She is not only knowledgeable, she's also passionate about rescues - I think her primary goal is that a new owner need never return a rescue for poor behavior. There are three classes offered a week and clients are welcome to two a week. Yes, TWO A WEEK! My rescue needs the socialization and I need the help, so this is fantastic. One graduates from class when she thinks the dog is ready, so if after 10 weeks the dog isn't ready to pass - the owner doesn't pay more, but continues with training until "graduation." I employ all of Shannon's suggestions and not only is my dog trained to sit/watch me/down/shake/spin/leave it/wait (and working on pulling), but I also now know based on some of his genetic makeup, why he behaves the way he does. So happy I discovered Leading the Way.

I found Noah on Yelp at the last minute (Thursday night) and, on the off chance he could fit us into his schedule, contacted him to see whether he could walk our dogs the next day. Noah got back to me fairly quickly, taking the time to answer my inquiry an hour AFTER his posted closing time. (Maybe it was my tone of desperation?) He also allowed me to ramble on, via text, about how great my dogs were for a good 10 minutes. He made the process simple and painless, was clear about pricing and what he would deliver, and provided his services in a laid back but quick and professional manner. I would DEFINITELY recommend him to anyone needing companionship for their pet.

He was always available, flexible, and able to come in extra days when our return home was delayed. More importantly, our three kitties loved him! He took a number of photos of himself cuddling/playing with all three of them- quite an achievement, since our calico baby Samsara does not usually care for strangers. Noah even patiently provided additional recommendations when this was requested of him. We highly and unconditionally recommend him as a pet-sitter; when your dog or cat is in his care, you can travel anxiety-free. Thanks for all you've done, Noah!

Prior to visits, she would always call to ask clarifying questions which showed she was truly invested in providing quality care. She very much put our mind at ease. For fair rates she came for daily visits, cleaned the litter box, refreshed food and water, and brushed and loved on our fur baby. Laura also took notes of her visits and left them for us to review, all of which were peppered with endearing anecdotes of her time. I have no doubt she provides the same exemplary service for dogs, too. I would recommend Laura to anyone. If not for moving out of state we would continue to rely on her knowledge, skills, and abilities.

From the owner: Luv A Pup Petsitting offers small dog boarding in a cozy, loving home in Hadley, MA. Unlike…read morekennels, dogs here enjoy freedom to roam the house, plenty of affection, and a calm, country environment. They’re never confined to small rooms and get lots of fresh air, sunshine, and playtime with friendly dog companions. With trails and open fields right in the backyard, pups go on daily nature walks and, if leash-safe, can run freely off-leash. Outdoor time is a big part of life here, and hikes in the woods are part of the fun! Your dog will come home happy, tired, and well-loved. In addition to boarding, Lynne provides reliable, compassionate in-home visits for dogs and cats in Hadley and Amherst. What sets Luv A Pup apart is the heart behind the care — it’s a place where animals are truly cherished. Also, there's no stress in a home boarding environment where there is lots of space to be themselves and enjoy the great outdoors. It's like doggy- day camp for sure! If your dog loves nature, freedom, and being showered with love, they’ll thrive here!

My wife and I dropped our dogs off for a weekend of boarding and grooming. We left instructions for…read morethe groomer to groom our boy and do a practice grooming of our girl. We were also told that the grooming would be recorded so that we could watch the session if anything weird happens. When we picked up our dogs, it became clear that the boy's grooming was incomplete. He had little knots on his head and a large knot on his tail, as well as a new bald spot on his chest. When we spoke to the groomer about it, she said that he was difficult and wouldn't sit still so that she couldn't complete it, and she said that the bald spot was a cowlick. This didn't *seem* right, because he gets groomed 4 times a year and in the previous place they never had any issues with him at all, and we pet his chest all the time and would've noticed a bald cowlick spot before. She was also not told that the girl was supposed to get a pretend grooming session at all, so that never happened. Since the boy has never been an issue before, we wanted to see the video that we were told we could see if we requested it (we wanted to know what might've set him off), but then we were told that we couldn't because the video system has been down for weeks. The manager I spoke with didn't care and just told me that the groomers rent out the rooms so they aren't responsible for what they do. We contacted the owner but she hasn't responded and instead blocked us on the company Facebook page. Best case, this place has terrible communication amongst the staff and the groomer, poor customer service, and a broken video system. I wouldn't trust my dogs there.
