Westchester K-9 - Serving Westchester, Putnam, CT, NYC

We board our two large dogs at Westchester K-9 regularly. We are satisfied customers! Westchester K-9 has been highly flexible, taking our dogs on last minute notice. The dogs have outdoor play time, and get plenty of exercise. WK9 is careful with vaccines. Their employees clearly love the animals. There are humans there 24 hours a day, not always true at some facilities. They don't cage the dogs at night (in fact, our dogs sleep on furniture, which is something they don't get at home!). And, I notice that when we approach WK9, our dogs are very happy and excited, almost thrilled to be there. I regret that we did not send our dogs there for training as puppies, and the next time we raise a dog, we will have WK9 train.

I have been bringing my 10 year old rescue dog, Honey, to Westchester K-9 for many years now. I first brought her there after I was told she could not board at another kennel because she does not get along with other dogs. After an evaluation at Westchester K-9 Stacy told me they could have her stay with them in their training program boarding her during that time. When I returned to pick her up I received a well behaved dog who was happy and playful. What a pleasure. I still bring Honey to Westchester K-9 every week or so just for the exercise and play time. She loves going to 'play with the puppies' and all the people who care for her there, it's the best part of her week I think. Stacey keeps a well run, clean and professional kennel and I would not bring Honey anywhere else. I highly recommend Westchester K-9!

Stacy took the time to understand our training needs and the behaviors were wanted to change in our 1 year old English bulldog Ruby. While there, she was trained by Alex. Although she was only there for a week, Ruby returned with a great foundation in place for us to build upon. I’m sure every dog is different when it comes to training, but we found Wk9 to be a great experience for us and for Ruby, and will continue to use their services going forward.

Westchester K-9 was recommended to me to help my rescue dog Zoey realize she's safe, loved and staying in her furever home. Her former owners surrendered her due to jumping on counter after popcorn. She also demonstrated fear and some aggression to other dogs, never hurting or biting. I also learned her former owners left her in a crate for entire 3-4 day weekends with little to no food, so yes we dealt w/ some food insecurity. I did not want to let her go for the 3 weeks Westchester K-9 needed to work with her, however i knew it would be best for both of us. The day I picked her up was amazing--I noticed her demeanor was positive, and affection was more present.... Zoey still has a few little personality traits that make her the pup she is, but she's loveable, snuggly, and allows everyone to love her. I highly recommend the services Westchester K-9 provides...they helped me help Zoey. Rescuing her and sending her to camp was the best decision ever.
