Customer Reviews
Lina and Greg from Littleton, MA:
“It has been our pleasure having our dog work with Jill! Our in home training sessions made immediate and positive differences on both our dog and more importantly on us as owners. The daycare is incredible with a great outdoor space, filtered water, and a controlled enviroment. We feel our dog is safe and is having a great time while maintaining his good doggie manners. We don’t know what we’d do without TSC!”
Benny Maltbie: “My name is Benny. I’m a one year old, 4 lb Teacup Yorkie exploring all the fun of being a puppy, but I really needed socialization with other dogs and people. So, Mom enrolled me at The Social Canine Doggy Day Care. I LOVE it there ! I’ve met new friends, play all day, have learned how to share…AND I get ongoing training at the same time! I can’t wait to go there ! My mom says I’m a different puppy now!! I listen better, am more obedient and I don’t bark as much as I used to because I come home from ‘school’ quiet and tired ! Come check it out !!! The more doggy playmates the better! I’d love to meet more friends. Oh, and Jill is a wonderful, and patient trainer. “
Ann Rosas from Carlisle, MA: “Jill came to our home to help us with food and aggression issues. She showed us and our 3 dogs how to handle feeding time without fights breaking out. Jill had lots of advice and tools to help create peace in our home. Her advice made immediate sense and none of her techniques required specialized or expensive equipment. We are a much happier household for having met Jill! Jazz, Ruby, and Greer send their love!”
Jessica Piziak: “My dog, Emma, has been attending daycare at the Social Canine for four years. She LOVES it! She is an energetic Cairn Terrier, but when she gets home from daycare she is tired and happy.
Jill and Jim truly love animals, which shows in their excellent care for the dogs at daycare. They are always thinking of new and fun options for exercise and playtime. The dogs are never put in crates, unlike most doggie daycares. The facilities are safe and immaculate. The Social Canine is the best doggie day care that you’ll find.
Thank you for all that you do for Emma! “
