Our regular boarding facility was booked solid for the next 2 months as people were getting out and…read moreabout again after the long shutdowns due to Covid and enjoying vacations. My DH and some friends decided to go to the Shore for a weekend 3 weekends from now. It's 7/20 and we needed to board 8/6-8/8. I called several places, but as I had an appt at our vet in Wurtsboro I thought "Dog Obedience Group - Boarding, Training, Daycare" may be the place as it was also in Wurtsboro and being a small town a ways from the city may have openings. I called and a woman, Elizabeth answered. She asked standard questions about my dog.. age, weight and breed. When I told her she was a Irish Doodle she seemed super excited as she hadn't seen one, but had owned Irish setters before. She asked if I could send a picture.. even though It was agreed upon to bring my dog by Friday.. just a few days away. She said great and I'll send pics of our place. I received 8 pics of the owner/trainers dogs and other boarders animals. Weird I thought, I thought pics were going to be around the facility. She mentioned several times about a "raw diet" and how it helps with ear infections etc. she also went on to claim the Wurtsboro vet clinic is just out to get your money and how she is essentially a dog "anti vaxxer". After this odd back and forth I started having second thoughts and looked more in-depth at the reviews. The negative ones were not just bad, but downright horrifying for the owners and animals left in her care. Ranging from dogs being attacked to her rough handling with a training collar. Thankfully, my wonderful regular day care and boarding facility had a cancellation and called me. I contacted Elizabeth this morning so as to make sure she didn't turn down another potential boarder to have me then cancel on her. She thanked me for making her aware of the cancellation and then she got nasty. This just confirmed that I had made the right decision. Read the exchange yourselves. A true business owner and lover of animals would want to convert the occasional client to a regular. They would want to gain your regular business and the word of mouth of how awesome your facility, treatment of the animals and how professional and caring the staff/owner is.

Please be aware that this company may be operating illegally. Very unprofessional and, frankly, rude behavior.

They did a wonderful job with socializing her and starting her off on training. The facility itself is beautiful. It's very clean and well staffed. We were able to spend time with different puppies out in the main area, which gave us the chance to see how they did with other dogs, people, etc. We probably spent two hours there and never felt rushed into making a decision. Highly recommend!

Very clean and friendly staff- can't take that away from them. But they are not very up front about…read morea couple things: 1) Pricing. They charge "per day." But really they mean "per date." My definition of a day is 24 hours. I dropped my two Great Danes off at 5 PM and picked up less than 24 hours later. I was charged $150. I asked if it was ever possible to be charged for a single day at all- they responded that only for "Doggie Day Care" is it possible for a dog to secure a one-day price. So, hypothetically speaking, if you dropped your dog off at 11:59 PM and picked up at 12:01 AM, they would call that "2 days." Called two other kennels before writing this review to make sure that wasn't industry standard. They said it was ridiculous. 2) I asked if they provided bedding, and they said they did. They knew I was boarding 2 Great Danes together in one kennel. They provided one raised bed for a medium sized dog. Would've been simple for me to provide my own had they just told me that. 3) They are open for two 2-hour windows per day, so plan carefully for pickup and drop off. I'm hoping that means "open-to-public" and they attend to the dogs more frequently then that, but I wouldn't put any bets down. Also, they told me a cash price over the phone that was not offered to me in person when I picked up. Not that I had the right amount on me anyway. I assumed, like a normal person would assume, that less than 24 hours fell in the "one day" pricing range. It's a shame. This kennel is near my house and I was looking forward to using them in the future. Nope.

I can't recommend Nancy at Know Your Dog Training highly enough…read more After doing extensive research to find the right trainer, I'm so glad I found Nancy. From the beginning it was clear that she has a deep understanding of dogs and brings a calm, confident, and professional approach to everything she does. My dog Kane completed a training program with her, and I was extremely impressed with the experience and the results. Nancy takes the time to truly understand each dog and provides the kind of structure, guidance, and consistency that helps dogs thrive. Since then, Nancy has also become my trusted go-to whenever I travel. Knowing Kane is in her care gives me tremendous peace of mind. He always comes home happy, relaxed, and well cared for. What really sets Nancy apart is the level of attention and personalization she provides. This isn't a typical boarding situation -- she genuinely gets to know the dogs she works with and creates a thoughtful, structured environment for them. Nancy is trustworthy, caring, extremely knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what she does. I'm very grateful I found her and would recommend Know Your Dog Training without hesitation to anyone looking for a skilled trainer or a safe, reliable place for their dog while they're away.
