Couldn't recommend this club enough! The staff was great with my very shy and timid Golden. Kept me updated on his time spent there and made sure he felt safe and at home. My dog isnt the best with other dogs and they were able to give him 1 on 1 playtime with the staff to make him feel included and also was able to introduce him to other dogs and to my surprise got him to play with new dog friends! extremely thankful for K9 Clubhouse!
I’ve been using K9Clubhouse for about 2 1/2 years now, so there are a lot of things I can say 😍 but this Christmas Holiday I planned a two week vacation which is a big deal because I have never left my dogs for more than a week with anyone (boarding, family, friends, etc.), so yes I was very anxious about boarding my dogs for so long even though my dogs are very familiar with K9 Clubhouse. K9 Clubhouse took great care of my dogs while I was on vacation! I was able to call and check in on my fur babies and Gio even took the time to send me pictures of my dogs too (which I know was an extra step for him so thank you so much again). The biggest thing I’d like to note, boarding can be very stressful on dogs, especially for mine because Sagè, is very hesitant / closed off when dealing with strangers she does not open up easily and JoJo while he loves any and everyone willing to play with him or pet him lol, he does have a bit of separation anxiety; but every time I pick my dogs up from their stays at K9 Clubhouse they are never too depleted and are always their normal happy selves and I love that! Thank you so much for always taking good care of my dogs. 🤎
I can’t say enough great things about K9 Clubhouse. They are truly the best of the best!! I do not trust anyone else with my precious Ripley (little corgi). I’ve been coming to K9 clubhouse since 2019 and they have been consistently wonderful. I am so blessed to have found them. Giovanni is my Ripley favorite human, he is an angel. I believe Gio is the reason why K9 clubhouse is as great as it is. Gio has been there since Ripley attended and we are so thankful of his kindness, attentiveness and professionalism. We will continue to bring our little girl to K9 clubhouse because they truly care about our furbaby and they treat her like their own. Thank you K9 clubhouse and Gio for being so great, we are very appreciative fur parents. If you need an amazing day care and boarding, look no further, K9 clubhouse is it!!
I am beyond grateful for this team of amazing people. I have a 2 year old Cockapoo who has separation anxiety. Due to an unexpected death in the family, I needed a quick doggie hotel. The staff gave me a tour, answered all my questions, gave great suggestions, and calmed all my fears. I even got to speak with another pet parent that had a similar situation to mine and offered her experience that helped my picking K9 Clubhouse even more. As per their suggestion which was spot on, we did a few day care visits so that he can get use to the staff. They customized his experience based off of him and gave him 1 on 1 time since he wasn't ready yet to play with other dogs. By the time he had to stay overnight a few nights he was playing with the staff, happy and comfortable. They didn't mind me calling twice a day to check on his progress 😊 and they gave me detailed updates that just eased my mind. In such a short time my little baby has grown so much and C.J. , Kaitlyn, and Gio have such a huge part to play in that. Thank you so much!!!! He will continue to come for daycare. If anyone has any doubts please take the tour, ask all the questions and be prepared to be blown away by their big hearts.
My dog Koda has been going here for almost 3 years!! She loves it! I work full time so my mind is at ease knowing she’s playing and having a great time while I’m not home! She always comes home super sleepy from having the best day playing! I know she love going for daycare because as soon as she walks in shes busting open the front doors ready to run inside! I wouldn’t trust anyone else with my fur baby! I also love how affordable daycare is especially with half days and full days, the staff is also extremely friendly and always excited to see koda and they even have a nick name for her “koda bear”. If you’re thinking of bringing your dog here you definitely should!
We used to take our lab here once a week and he would get excited to come, but his behavior started to change after a few visits. We trained our dog very well, and while he still had puppy-like tendencies, he did get overly excited, which is understandable. After a few days here he started picking up bad behavior from other untrained dogs here. That’s not necessarily the businesses fault, but we preferred a more structured daycare that had less dogs and more people to pay attention to what’s going on to stop (not reward) bad behavior. The reason we stopped coming here was one day we went to pick our dog up and the person working told us they had SEVENTY dogs there….in one day. And of course shortly after that our dog became very ill with kennel cough that he had for weeks. IMO, amount of dogs should be regulated more especially when you don’t have many people working and able to keep a proper eye on everyone. That’s how accidents and mistakes happen, and dogs get sick.
K9 Clubhouse is the only place I would trust with fur baby Lexie. I work long hours and I feel comfortable that she is safe and well taken care of. The owner, Stephen is a hands on owner. He holds his employees to high standards and you know they love what they do.
My dog has stayed here a few times. Over the last 3 years when we couldn’t get my daughter to watch her and the place is very clean and the people here are great with the dogs. She gets a bath before we pick up and smells great. I highly recommend leaving your dog here. Very professional!!!
If you're doing an overnight if you cannot afford the park ave rooms then do not let your dog stay over. The dogs are howling barking and crying due to close proximity and confusion on where their owners are. Otherwise my dog was okay. The room was clean in the park ave suite. They offer baths as well and did a great job! They encourage checking up on your pup and overall the place is suitable for a overnight. If I would advise anything I'd be instructive to how many treats amount of water and specifics your dog may need. My dog had to use the bathroom a lot the following day and I picked him up early. I'm sure the daycare is quite different. Also their is a kennel cough warning even in the park ave rooms where the dogs are separated by glass. If signed it's a 3 dollar insurance to cover 100 dollars at most if your pet gets a cough. The staff was friendly
We are so pleased with our dog Kono’s experience boarding at K9 Clubhouse. Giovanni has been super attentive to our Doberman’s needs and we appreciate his detailed phone calls for updates tremendously. Kono loves his time at K9 Clubhouse and Giovanni ensures Kono gets out for his independent play time and feels less anxious than usual when leaving us. 5 stars for Giovanni and the staff :)
I’ve been using Rebecca since 2020. I have 2 pugs and recently got a Frenchie . Her love for animals , especially mine shows in all she does . Her business is successful for a reason , when I go on vacation she is the only one who I would board my animals with . She also grooms them periodically and my pups are never anxious when we pull up, unlike other experiences I’ve had .
Not enough stars for Rebbeca. Suburban Paws is the only place I would leave my best friend. Rebecca is always accommodating to our needs even at the last minute. You never have to worry about your pet in her care. This is not like other places that go home and leave the animals unattended, she’s always with them and sends you updates via text. She gives them plenty of play time with matched temperaments. Most of all Hobi loves her!
I first used Suburban Paws around 2011 to check on my cats while on vacation. I most recently used Suburban Paws two weeks ago because my stinky terrier mix needed to be groomed and there’s no one else I would trust during this time. Through the last 8+ years, I’ve boarded my dog at Suburban Paws multiple times and she’s enjoyed every visit. Owner Rebecca takes care of all visiting dogs as if they were her own. She sends text updates and pictures of how my pets are doing while I’m away and is quick to respond to any concerns. I would recommend Suburban Paws to anyone looking for a safe, living, relatable caretaker or groomer for their furry family members.
Rebecca took care of our dog all throughout her 11 years of life. She would visit and walk her during the day while she was a puppy and we were at work, and hosted her for “camp” anytime we were out of town. She truly loves and takes care of all pets as if they were her own. Highly recommend!
This place is amazing!!!! And my pup is wild!!! She loves going to Rebecca’s and we have peace of mind when we leave her there. Rebecca sends pic and videos and has a page where she posts all of the fun pics of the pups! She always has other pups to play with and has the best time ever!! I’d never leave my girls anywhere else. The absolute best!! We love it here!!!!!
Rebecca is the BEST. I trust her wholeheartedly with my dog. Winston totally loves her, loves going there and would probably decide to live with her if I'd let him....lol.. She goes out of her way to support her customers and their pets and I consider myself super lucky to have found her.
Left my three dogs for a week with Suburban Paws. She’s amazing with dogs and a great person in general. Picked up my dogs and they looked great. She constantly sent me text messages of my pooches to show me how they’re doing. She’s the only person that I’ll leave my dogs with. She’s also a great dog trainer too.
Rebecca come to our home to train our new puppy. She was amazing and Josh responded so well to her. We already booked her to go on vacation. Rebecca is so informative and caring.
You won’t find anyone more caring, knowledgeable, and responsible to watch your pet while you’re on vacation. When you are on vacation - they will be too! Huge fenced in yard with wood chips, every dog has a blast that stays at Suburban Paws!
I travel all the way from the north shore just so I can take my dog here. They excel at everything they do, and always is done with a smile and hug. I feel safe leaving my dog here when we go away, knowing that they treat him like family.
Update: Emma is no longer at Royal Paws Inc. She is now at The Groomers on Brentwood Rd in Bay Shore. Emma is a fantastic groomer. You tell her how you want your dog groomed and she is always very accommodating, even with people as fussy as me. Our Tucker always looks great after visiting Emma.
First visit to have Rusty, my Golden Mix rescue bathed and groomed. He always get's nervous about grooming. Friendly, efficient staff handled him very well! His groomer, Taylor, did a beautiful job, and spoke with me about Rusty at pick up. Excellent experience!!
Using a prong collar to lift a dog off the ground? Beyond messed up. Dog sitting politely waiting to greet the other dog and he he owner continues to yank on the prong collar. What exactly was the dog doing wrong? Is wagging her tail and waiting calmly worthy of an improper and over the top correction? All of this r just during an evaluation and in front of the dogs owner. Imagine what does on when the owners not around. If you care about your dogs safety and well-being never step foot in this place
My dog goes to camp/daycare here, I feel comfortable knowing that she is safe and having fun, but mostly with staff monitoring her the whole time unlike bigger chains. The owner and staff are all super caring and great with all the dogs. Highly recommend
Abusing dogs is never a way to correct behaviour. Let's try yanking you with a prong collar. If your dogs come to this "company" I would recommend you removing them. If they're cruel in front of people they'll be even worse behind closed doors.
Ever hear of the “yank and crank” method of compulsion training? These “trainers” put a prong on a dog and correct it for any movement or vocalizations. Their goal is to have a shut down dog who has no reaction to its environment. This facility is stuck in the 1970s when training was harsh and abusive. This “method” shows a lack of education and skill on the trainers part. Please learn more.
Luna went in for a mail trim a scared puppy and came out all smiles. Thank you for getting her in for a much needed nail trimming today.
Facilities look great but very poor management. Would not leave my dog here.
Great place great workers they treat your pets like family
Friendliest groomer ever! So gentle!
Oh my goodness! My Zain went there for the first time and he had so much fun. First, to get him acclimated, the amazing staff allowed him to sniff butts with another pup. It was like a match made in puppy heaven. My pup loved it and I decided to let him stay. Like any neurotic pup mom, I called to check on him. They said he was great. I was shocked! My energetic pup had found his community. Then to make matters best, he enjoyed a Pup-a-ciño since it was pupacino Fridays. Zain ended the day with an exit bath and he had a blast. I highly recommend Houndstown!!!
Wonderful experience! We have 2 puppies and we were going away for the holiday weekend. I called a week before and asked if they were available for boarding. Luckily they fit me in and our puppies had an amazing time. Staff is super friendly and answer any questions or worries you may have. From the photos you could tell they were having fun. Put our mind at easy leaving them there. So happy we found a place where our dogs can stay and be happy. Thank you again 😃
Hounds Town Commack Rd is the BEST home away from home for my exuberant , large, goofy, playful dog! Ludwig LOVES going to HoundsTown and seeing and playing with all of his canine and human friends. I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff especially. They are so sweet, helpful, friendly, conscientious, and know how to let dogs be dogs! The dogs are genuinely SO HAPPY there!! I don’t know what I would do without them. HoundsTown is truly a saving grace for Ludwig’s mental and physical health. And… I’m a veterinarian, and I would only let my dogs stay somewhere that I 110% trust. HoundsTown Commack and all the gals and guys who work there, are that place.
The evaluation process went well. Meeting the excellent staff gave me a good vibe. I, felt that I was bringing my dog to a safe environment. Viewing the other customers bringing in their dogs, just reinforced that good vibe.
Nothing but amazing things to say about Hounds Town! They took such great care of my dog and made sure all my questions were answered when I dropped him off the first time. Everyone who works there is so friendly and they love every single dog! I can’t wait to bring my dog back here!
Winston is so excited to start his daycare here, can’t wait to play with other dogs
I absolutely love Hounds Town! Teri and Thomas are so nice and explain everything you need to know. My two goldens got picked up by the pet taxi for their first day of daycare. I can't tell you how convenient it is to have someone pick them up before i go to work and drop them off after I return home for the day. I really feel like I'm putting my kids on the bus for school and they just adore Thomas the owner who picks them up. I am a bit of a "helicopter mom" when it comes to my girls so knowing that their is a vet tech managing this location gave me such peace of mind. I also love that my girls always have someone to play with since the dogs being boarded play with the daycare dogs making this a fully interactive daycare. And, Teri the owner told me all about their 24 hour surveillance so if I ever chose to board my girls there I know they'd be safe. I cannot wait to get them groomed by their grooming department. The convenience of having them picked up from from my house for daycare, play all day, get a grooming then get dropped off exhausted and clean at the end of the day is a dream!
My year and half dog Atlas loves going here. He has the best time and he comes home tired. He is out for the rest of the night and most of the next day too. My favorite part is seeing pictures of Atlas on their Facebook page. He always has a goofy smile with his black tongue sticking out and my heart melts. Also love when they have events going on. Atlas loves going to daycare.
First time boarding our 7 month old pity & Hounds Town put any nerves I had to rest, they answered all questions I had on process + food + routine. They updated constantly with pictures and our pup looked beyond thrilled with her experience and love she was receiving. Would highly recommend!
Henry had an amazing first day - friendly and welcoming staff! He got to meet the grinch and pick out a stuffed animal. Now he’s pooped! Super convenient services also - going to be great when I commute into the city consistently in the new year!
Best place for your pet to let off steam and socialize. Our dog never goes crazy around other animals since taking her there. Great for boarding. The staff is very friendly and you can see how much they love the animals. It's the only place we trust our dog to go for boarding.
We absolutely love Hounds Town in Farmingdale. They take such good care of our pup Chewy and know him by name when he comes in- which means so much to us. It makes us feel like he isn’t just another dog to watch, but that they actually care about the dogs that come in! We love the different “parties” they have, the pictures they take and the different activities they do for our dog. We love that he has so much fun there and we feel super confident to be boarding him there for almost 3 weeks coming up. Thanks for everything Hounds Town but especially for keeping our pup safe and having a blast!!!
The staff at Houndstown is amazing. Our dogs are always in great hands. They get so excited to walk in and see the other dogs and friendly staff. Houndstown hosts the best parties for the dogs and sends pictures all the time. We wouldn’t send our dogs anywhere else!
If you are looking to board your dog or even keep them entertained for a few hours or a day, this is your place… the staff is very caring knowledgeable and will do everything in their power to ensure you and your doggies are comfortable. Most of these places smell; this place is super clean smells good and so many options to accommodate you in any way they can. I would give 10/5 stars if I could. Thanks again!! Photo of tired doggies after a day of fun!!!
We are so impressed with Hounds Town USA in Farmingdale. We sent our three dogs for a day of daycare, a bath and nail trimming and have planned for them to get daycare again next week. This was a suggestion from the staff to lessen the stress and anxiety pets can get when being boarded. The staff are always willing to go “ the extra mile” for all animals in their care. This is the second time we are going to be boarding our pets here. My only regret is that I had discovered this place later then sooner. My wife and I really like the staff there and our dogs love them as they are allowed to roam freely in their establishment. As opposed to most other boarding facilities that leave the animals in cages and even charge extra for staff to play with them. It’s my honest opinion that other boarding “ hotels” could learn a lot from Hounds Town USA.
Absolutely LOVE Houndstown! The staff really cares for your pups like their own. My 2 dogs love going there and letting out their energy! I would never bring them anywhere else or trust anyone else with my dogs! I attached pictures of their recent spirit week “jersey day” ☺️
We are going on our 6th year soon with HoundsTown Farmingdale and all I can say is Thank God for them. My Aussie Boy ran out his puppy crazed days with them and now gets to hang out a couple of days a week as one the Veterans in Town. I never have to worry about him being cared for whether it's a vacation, an emergency or any number of curve balls that life throws at you. We love all the staff and honestly couldn't imagine going anywhere else for both our DayCare, Grooming and Boarding needs !
Hounds Town Farmingdale has been wonderful for my Blue! She was immediately welcomed and loved by the staff who have made not only her, but me, feel so comfortable and confident knowing she is in the best hands. She can never hop out of the car fast enough when she gets dropped off for daycare!
Our dog loves Hounds Town for daycare! She is so excited to enter and you can tell the staff cares about each and every dog.
We brought our Rhodesian Ridgeback, Hudson to Hounds Town for his first day yesterday and he absolutely loved it!! The staff is so friendly and all the dogs look so happy. They send you home with a report card on how your pup did and I even got to call to see how his first day was going. Hudson was so sleepy after leaving that he fell asleep immediately in the car lol! We are so excited to continue to bring Hudson there so he can let out his crazy energy and make tons of friends! Thank you so much, Hounds Town!
We needed help with our 14 month old rescue, Obi. Basic puppy issuse - digging, jumping, excessive play biting and bolting out of the gate or door. Obi spent 3 weeks with James and his awesome trainers. Obi came home a different pooch. He is now well behaved and listens to our commands. Digging has almost disappeared, stays by the door or gate when told to stay, drops the ball when playing fetch. We were also taught proper techniques to continue his awesome progress. Thank you James and your trainers! Also a special 'Thank You' to Amanda, Jame's assistant, you answered every question and concern we had in a very understanding and timely manner, you also put up with my almost daily texts asking about Obi....Thank You!!!! I recommend Pawfect Solutions and their amazing staff.
James and his team are top notch. They spent extra time training my dog and she has come out completely changed. He focuses more on the behavior and progress of the dog rather and will take the necessary time needed to make sure they are properly behaved and trained. I will also be boarding both my dogs with him when I go out of town because I don’t trust anyone else with them.
James is great! Knows exactly what he’s doing. Before James my dog (Dottie) was all over the place while on walks and would try and walk me while I was supposed to be waking her. She also would not let you open the door when someone was trying to come in or make a delivery. By the end of prefect solution dog training my dog was walking by my side during walks and she would go and sit down in her bed when someone is at the door. Great company James is definitely a dog whisperer.
The ABSOLUTE BEST!!!!!! James and his team are amazing with my dog (and all the dogs there)! Brody knows when we are getting close and once we arrive he starts crying like a baby if they don’t come out quick enough to get him. James has such a passion for our babies and for that I’m super grateful! Thank you to everyone at Pawfect for keeping our babies safe, happy and showing them so much love!
James is a very kind and skilled dog trainer, but his communication and handling of appointments is poor. Between cancelled and rescheduled appointments it was very hard to keep up with a proper schedule. There was constant issues between the handling of money owed, scheduling appointments that fit his schedule and obligations, and making sure we were on top of the amount of training days agreed upon.The organization was beyond poor sadly. Another issue I had was one appointment specifically James brought an assistant, and instead of properly training our dog and taking his time to treat his specific needs, he talked to his assistant the entire time with minimal words or corrections said on a near 45 minute walk. Basically, I paid over $120.00 to walk my dog, which I do nearly everyday. Our dog made great progress under James truly, and I believe he is a great trainer, but I believe a lot of things could have been done better in both organization, and proper training to better assist our dogs specific needs.
We boarded our Bernese for the first time this spring with James and were a little nervous because our pup is a bit of a wimp when it comes to playing with other dogs. He matched him up with a perfect doggy friend and he looked so happy in the check in videos! James’ assistant was also very responsive in our scheduling needs and flexible with changes we needed to make. Grounds are also very well kept!
I first found James through a work friend of mine a few years ago. I’ve signed used James multiple times and I can rest assured that my dog is perfectly fine and happy each and every time. Anytime my dog gets dropped off or picked up he’s either sad to see James leave or happy to see him come. Any questions or concerns I may have had are always addressed and the area the dogs stay in and play in is beautiful. My big German shepherd can be a handful at times but James is always in charge with my dog and I can leave him with James and have complete peace of mind.
James helped train our now two year old when he was a puppy. Our very skittish rescue also seemed to warm up to him fast. We used Pawfect solutions during our wedding weekend. We needed someone we trusted with our two crazies. They both did great. James put a ton of work into the grounds and it’s beautiful.
James is amazing! He completely turned my dog into the perfect dog. He and his team took the time to not only train her but also teach me what I needed to know. His knowledge surpassed anything I expected. I did board and train and it was the best thing I could have done for both her and I. I sent Gracie there thinking she was “aggressive” as I was worried she and my daughter were not getting along. She was nipping at my daughter. Gracie came home the most loving dog I have ever known. Everyone in my neighborhood loves her and come running to say hello when they see her. She is just as excited to see them! Gracie loved being there so much I even boarded her there when I went on vacation. I plan to use him every time I go away. Thank you James for taking the stress out of my life when it came to Gracie. I honestly have the perfect dog now. James and his staff are truly the best!
After careful research in trying to find training for my new fur baby, I am so grateful to have found Pawfect Solutions Dog Training. After meeting James at the facility, I felt so at ease leaving Nino with him. Nino has been transformed into a loving and obedient dog. I can never thank James for what he has done. I Am grateful that Nino has found a place where he can continue to learn as he grows. Highly recommend!!!! Thank you!!!
