Brookside Walk + Train

We have worked with Dinyee at Brookside Walk & Train since 2011. Marty started in the puppy training program and has progressed through her "geriatric" years. I cannot say enough good things about this business! Dinyee is amazing, takes the time to get to know her clients (both human and fury), and truly cares. So much so, I have pestered her with countless questions-- what is the best food? What type of collar? Should I try feeding raw? And she always handles my questions with grace, ease, and tolerance. In addition, as this business has grown, I continue to feel confident in the training and knowledge of her staff. I feel 100% certain of the safety and wellbeing of my dog during walks, group outings, and boarding. My confidence and certainty in her abilities has literally travelled 250+ miles-- I have brought Marty from out of state to board with her while traveling, because I KNOW that my dog will be safe, fed, played with, and well cared for just as if I was there. Not to mention, if there was ever safety or a health crisis, I feel confident in her ability to handle it just as I would. I cannot recommend this business enough; if you want to feel confident and secure with your dog-care provider, Dinyee is the person to see!

Dinyee came over to our house the day after we adopted our dog, and we were way over our heads. Our dog is very difficult -- fearful and protective. We've tried a handful of dog trainers in the Boston area and Dinyee is the only one I really trust with our pup. Don't know what we'd do without her. We leave our dog with her both for daycare and for boarding. We've made significant progress with our dog's level of focus and calmness. Also, our dog absolutely loves Dinyee -- she's one of the few people in the world he gives his happy tail wag to.

Dinyee and her staff are a big cut above any dog training, walking, and boarding professionals in the area. There are plenty of ok services, a few good services, but Brookside has years of experience and extensive professional training under their belts that makes them the only superior service in town. I’ve had two “difficult “ dogs, and tried books, videos, TV shows, and several trainers. Dinyee has more dog sense than anyone around, and the passion for her work that sets her above others. If you’re looking for something beyond “sit”, and “down”, and really want to learn how to work with your dog, go to Brookside. You’ll sense the difference when you walk in the door.

We’ve been with Brookside since our 5 year old dog Kevin was a puppy. Dinyee helped us train him as a puppy, and he’s gone on multiple walks a week for the past 5 years. He adores Dinyee and all of her staff, we are thrilled knowing that when he’s in their care he is happy and safe! Recently, after welcoming 2 new babies into the family, Kevin needed some refreshing on his training. He did a two week course at the (beautiful and new) facility, and Dinyee came to our house to teach us and show us how to use his new e-collar. He is doing wonderful since his training. He has always been an anxious dog who would loudly bark and growl at other dogs, and he’d run from us as well. Now he is calm, knows to go to his bed when we command him, and if he does get anxious and amped up, we can quickly and easily redirect him using his commands and the e-collar. My parents now frequently request for him to stay with them and they don’t want to give him back because he’s so calm now! We can’t speak highly enough of Dinyee and her team, we would definitely recommend them to anyone.
