Nick is highly recommended and it will be obvious why once you've contacted him for the first time.

We have never been away from our dog Max ( usually he vacations with us) for more than a day or…read moretwo, and so naturally we were a bit reluctant to kennel him for a week...we spoke to a few people and they said to look for a place that has a lot of open space so that Max can have a vacation too! We couldn't have picked a better place. Max is very socialized with both people and dogs- but this was a new experience for him. He obviously loved the Chalet from the pics Nick and Adriana posted up. Knowing that our dog was in such care made us very comfortable being 3500 miles away!! Nick and Adriana are wonderful folks and we highly recommend the Doggie Chalet! Gina and John Verona

They get the socialization, stimulation, and exercise needed to be the best family pets they can. Now the most amazing thing about Happy Hound, which I am constantly raving about, is how clean it is. You would think the place would have a smelly dog smell. Other than the groomers working there is no "dog" smell. Never a hint of urine or anything. A great small business run by people who obviously love what they do and love all the dogs. Would highly highly recommend.

I will not be taking him back, ever. There is so much more to the story as I have talked to other dog parents about kennel cough at this place. Seems like a couple of other reviews mention this. I have taken him to another daycare when I lived near Elmwood Park and I have never had this issue and right away I notice that this other daycare always had someone watching the dogs at all times and their cameras always worked . I do not recommend this place for small dogs.

I am a big fan of John because he is both an excellent trainer and educator!
