New England Dog Training has made a profound difference in the lives of so many dogs and their "families". In our case we rescued a large older French Bulldog who loved people but not other dogs and cats. We expected Bill and all to give us some tips on controlling our dog around other dogs but resigned ourselves to a solitary life for him. Bill works with us to understand how we need to behave to teach our dog how to be a well behaved dog. We follow Bill's instructions with consistency and lots of opportunities for practice. Buster has blossomed and is enjoying a full life playing with the other dogs. He hikes and kayaks and is out and about with us all the time. We enjoy him more than any other dog we've had due to their teaching, patience and dedication.
Buster can't wait to get there on his doggie day care days. The place is spotless and there is so much and so many for the dogs to play with, trampolines, climbing and course equipment,etc. They continue to expand their services and to make additions to their facility to reach more animals. Bill and his crew are dedicated to animals and their humans. Its a great place for your dog to spend his or her day or of you need boarding. Prices are reasonable as well.

New England Dog Training has done so much for my dog. When I rescued him a few years ago, he was dog aggressive. With Bill's training, my dog plays well with others and no longer fence fights with the neighbor's dogs.
I send my dog to daycare several times a week, and my dog comes home happy and exhausted. He gets well exercised and I can definitely tell the days he doesn't go to daycare due to his high energy level.
I also board my dog there when I go away on trips. It alleviates my anxiety knowing my dog is so well taken care of. Bill stays on site when dogs are boarded (and when they're in daycare) so the dogs are never left alone.
Lastly, my dog is on a raw diet which has greatly improved his health. I purchase the raw food through New England Dog Training on a monthly basis; the food is made on site by Bill and his employees.
Overall, my dog is well taken care of, cared for, and well fed when he is there. I would recommend this facility to anyone and have. My brother and sister also send their dogs, due to my recommendation, to this facility and are happy with the care of their dogs.

NEDT offers top notch training. As the owner of two large (100 lb) rescue dogs we have had our share of behavior issues. Bill has been instramental in helping us deal with issues as they arise. He has a very compassionate and unique way of helping change negative behavior. Our dogs love going to doggy daycare and love all of the staff. I highly recommend NEDT.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS FACILITY
Unfortunately it's harder and harder to find a reliable place to leave your pets now a days. I believe New England Dog Training used to be run by different owners and had a very good reputation. The owner Bill is nice enough and I am sure he means well and has all good intentions but when you don't have enough staff to run the business and kennel side of things I am sure it can be overwhelming and too much to handle 30 dogs at a time.
I personally don't feel confident or comfortable leaving my pets in the hands of someone else because of past situations that turned into problems and I try not to hold that over other facilities.
BUT once again we found our selfs picking up our dogs that were not well taken care of. My heart sank when I saw one of our dogs with swollen goopy eyes that look infected. They were booth dirty and smelled bad too. When someone says that your dogs are being well taken care of and looked after.... and then you pick them up and can see that they are distressed and not well..... I'm sorry but you are Not cutting it professionally in my book.
I'm not one to write these but when your lied to something has to be said.
You lost our business.....
I DO NOT recommend this facility!!!!

I discovered New England Dog Training " by accident ". I was searching on google for another dog trainer name I was given and called Bill instead. Well, this was the best " mistake" I could have ever made. He has transformed a little shelter dog named Dixie who was labeled aggressive and would never be able to successfully socialize with other animals. Bill has taught Dixie the basics of being part of the pack. With consistency, patience, technique and love he showed her that dogs are her friends. She is able to play with multiple dogs now, LOVES spending time at the happiest place on earth, New England Dog Training, and is obedient, loving and and all around great dog. Bill and his staff treat the dogs like their own. If you view the New England Dog Training Facebook site you can see hundreds of pictures of the dogs that attend day care as well as the boarder dogs and his own. The smiles on their faces is proof enough of how happy they are when spending time there. I would HIGHLY recommend NEDT to anyone looking for obedience training, boarding and/or day care. Be assured that your dog will be loved in the same way that you do!
