Southborough Kennels has been AMAZING with our puppy! We know he's well cared for and never worry…read morewhen we leave him there! 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 Sunny is a timid boy who is overwhelmed by rambunctious dogs and can become withdrawn and shut down in unfamiliar spaces - the staff takes extra effort to provide him outside time with relaxed and calm dogs.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!

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!

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!!!

To our utter amazement, she was able to not only get our pup on the car for the hike, but spend a lot of time after the trial run talking through some training advice, all of which was incredibly on-point. We learned more in 45 minutes with Carrie than we did in two years of dog training books and online courses. TL;DR - if you're looking for a magical dog walker/trainer who is reliable, thorough, knows what they're doing - Carrie is the one.
