We reached out to Danny for help with our 5 month old Alaskan Klee Kai puppy, Neo. Danny was very responsive and got back to us right away to schedule a consultation appointment to discuss options for training. Â At our first appointment he spent time understanding what we wanted out of the training program and how to best help us since both me and my boyfriend work so much and didn't have much time to train the puppy on our own. Together we decided that the overnight 4 week training program was best.Danny turned our very mischievous and stubborn puppy into an obedient and playful one. He is no longer pulling on the leash when we walk or running out the door ahead of us. We are finally able to eat a meal with Neo laying in one spot and not constantly begging for food or trying to jump in our lap. Honestly this training program was incredible and we are so happy with the results.Danny is extremely knowledgeable about dog behavior and you can really tell that he cares a lot about the dogs and even the customers. When Danny brought Neo back to us, he was patient as he walked us through the rationale behind the training countless times and basically trained us how to continue training our puppy.While Neo was away he would text us with updates and send us pictures to keep us up to date. Now that Neo is home, he still responds to our questions right away and is even coming back in 2 weeks to help us some more. I feel completely safe and secure that Neo was in great hands and cannot wait to board Neo with Danny and his family when we go away for vacation. This investment was more than worth it. Thank you so much! More...

I was so nervous about getting a dog even though I have always wanted one. When we were looking around for puppies someone had reccomended Danny's training program to my husband and me. I am so glad that we chose to have our Bruce trained by Danny. He did an amazing job! Bruce now listens to all the commands he was taught and is a well behaved puppy. I don't have to worry about him pulling the leash or dashing into the house before me along with many other behavioral issues we were dealing with before the training. Danny was also very attentive to any phone calls or texts with questions and was there to help us along the way whenever we needed. I highly recommend Danny's training programs - worth every penny!

My fiance and I reached out to Danny to help us with house breaking our new yellow lab puppy, Piper. Â We were totally stressed out and couldn't get her to A) stop going to the bathroom inside or B) start going to the bathroom outside. Â He was very responsive and got back to us immediately to schedule a meeting so he could come meet us and our pup and discuss next steps for our girl.We agreed to do the 4-week boarding where Piper lived with him at his home and went through the extensive training and we could not be any happier with the results! Â When she came home she not only stopped making in the house but she also had incredible obedience. Â I brought her to Petco the other day to be vaccinated and had to wait on the line for over an hour while she listened so perfectly. Â I received so many compliments from every other dog owner on the line with us - everyone was so impressed that she was only 6 months old and such a great listener!Danny sat with us for almost 2 hours when he dropped her off to explain all of the commands and trained us on how to keep our girl well behaved. Â Now we can put her on Place and have a room full of people eating dinner right next to her without any problems! Â We cannot thank Danny enough :) More...

Danny is such a nice and knowledgeable trainer! He came to our home for a consultation and gave us the most realistic and honest advice for our yorkie. We didn't feel the consultation was full of pitches or pushing any products or services and appreciated Danny's genuineness. My only regret is that we didn't call him sooner! Working with him is a pleasure and I could not recommend him more! More...

I cannot express how grateful I am for Danny. His dog training saved my dog from having to leave our family. My dog behaves very well when out and follows commands in the home and out. I am now the leader of the pack.

*This review is for the dog training service.We have a 1-year-old Mini Schnauzer, very nice and sweet but troublemaker when left alone in the house. After extensive research on how to fix the issue on our own but no luck, we finally gave up and decided to consult a trainer.We found Daniel through Yelp, and now we understand why he's getting all those 5-star reviews!He personally greeted us and let us sit in a spacious room with our dog, for a FREE evaluation of the dog and us as pet owners. The place was very nice and clean, and his attitude friendly and highly professional.Daniel spent almost 2 hours with us, he answered all of our questions with no rush. He explained a lot of the breed and its characteristics, he pointed out some issues about our dog's behavior, as result of our mistakes, and gave us precious advise on how to correct our ways and consequently the dog's way. As soon as we got home we started to apply Daniel's recommendations and got immediate results!Also, Daniel offers different training options according to your needs and schedule. Prices are on a case by case basis. On our opinion, they are reasonable and worthy. More...

I have had my first dog for about 9 years now and this is our go to grooming spot! We now have two dogs and they treat them both lovely. The staff is amazing with all the animals. The business is family owned and know all the regular doggies by first name lol! When my dog first started coming, he was very snappy (he is with everyone) and needed a muzzle, he's now muzzle free and excited too see them! Washing and grooming is inexpensive, especially for such good service! They also have little hotel rooms for dog sittings which are so cute! Â Annnnnd what makes is even better, ITS SO CLEANNNNNN! & my babies come out like they're ready for a doggie runway! More...

where do i even begin? i have three full breed yorkies. normally when its time to get them groomed i always have to schedule them one by one because most other pet groomers are packed! but that was not the case at this place, they accommodated for me to be able to bring in all 3 same day  :).  my fury little love bugs went in on a saturday morning and came out looking super cute that afternoon. each of their cuts were great. i have two male yorkies so i opted for them to be shaved down since the weather is warming up and for my female yorkie, i wanted her shaved but still have a girlie appeal, they did that perfectly and even added a cute little pink on her head. their prices are great too, all three of my puppies were a solid 135$, NOT BAD AT ALL, which included an oatmeal bath, cutting of the nails and shaving. absolutely recommend this place.

Danny and his staff work miracles. Â My two dogs were in serious consideration to be adopted out. Â After they spent a few weeks here, they are well behaved, loving and a pleasure to be around. Â I am now proud instead of embarrassed. Â The best part is the dogs are happy too. Â I brought them back for boarding and they were happy be there. Â I'll never own another pet that is not trained here. Â Danny also trains the owner to understand why it works. More...

I should have written this review sooner.  I got my Doberman Pinscher at 8 weeks old in September 2015 and started to train train train.  I had a good friend who told me -"You need to go to my guy - Danny".  I said NO WAY was I paying for training I could do myself.  WELL, 4 months later, January 2016,  I realized the progress I had made was not enough, and working full time made it very hard to follow through on the training.  I wanted a dog that behaved off-leash and followed commands, and I decided to go for it.Admittedly, without the stunning 5star review from my friend I might have overlooked this place.  It was not close to my home, from the outside looks like a neighborhood pet place, nothing special.  ONE yelp review?!?!? But my friends Mastiff was trained perfectly and off-leash, so I was able to dive in with only a little apprehension.  My neighbor has a cream golden retriever one month older than my girl and we signed up together. (Doggie carpool!)I am so glad I did!  It is family run and they have decades of experience.  They have trained circus dogs, security dogs, you name it.  I went in for the basic obedience and Danny & his family are like family now.  They offer to board your dog during training or you can choose the daycare option.  They "train" your dog all day 1on1, with play, bathroom and rest periods in between.  I was stunned at first when he told me at the end my dog will not only know her commands, but be able to STAY IN PLACE regardless of distractions (including food and cats).  Well, she does! Granted, their are two levels of training, first the dog, second the owner.  It is the owner's responsibility to keep the training enforced and practice and repeat.  If I slack off, I know what I have to do to brush up.  As they are like family to all their customers  I also know I can always stop in for a free reminder session.My 80lb Doberman can walk off leash anywhere, she left that program with every bit of training they promised and more.  I can't say enough good things about these people.  If you need more proof, you are welcome to meet my baby!  Everywhere we go (and we get around) people are so impressed at how well behaved she is.  She can roam 1/2 block ahead of me and if I give her the command to stop, sit, or come, she does.  She NEVER ever would run in the street again which was a major concern for me as I wanted her to get in and out of the car off leash.  Peace of mind never came so cheap!

Ok, so where do I start. First let me tell you that Danny and his wife are some of the nicest people I've ever met. Back in February my husband and I met a girl who had such a well-mannered dog that I initially thought that it was a service dog. To my surprise she told us that he wasn't but he was sent to a dog school for training. Well we got the number of the trainer (Danny) and a few weeks later my husband and I went to North Shore Animal League and adopted a half Border collie half-sheepdog puppy (8 weeks old). The first few weeks was very hard, our puppy was diagnosed with Parvo and spent 10 days at the North Shore Animal League Medical Ctr. Once he recovered and we got him home, the excessive biting started. It was so bad that I couldn't play with him. That's when we called Danny to have him come over to assess the situation. Danny came over and noticed right away that if we didn't get his biting under control our puppy would grow up to be an adult and continue to bite excessively because he is a herding dog. So we decided that we would do the obedience training with Danny and have our puppy stay that the Pet Spa Resort. We dropped our pup off April 18. 2016 and picked him up on May 17. 2016. The entire 4 weeks that our puppy was there we would receive a daily picture of him along with several texts to inform us on how is training is going. When my husband and I went to pick up our pup he was so well behaved, he listened to every command that Danny taught him that I was blown away. We got him home and continued with the commands and he listened without a problem.  I have to tell anyone who is reading this, I am a very skeptic person and I do not trust anyone, but working with Danny has changed that. He went well beyond my expectations. He really knows what he is doing and well go above and beyond to show you that. He worked so well with our puppy that I honestly think he has a great gift of working with dogs. I am extremely thankful for his services. My husband and I already know that when we get another dog we are sending him or her to Danny for training. The Pet Spa resort was cleaned and well maintained. I love the fact Danny took extra security measures to make sure that all the dogs he works with are kept in a safe environment. I will definitely be recommending Danny to other people. Oh and by the way, Danny's clients are not only ordinary people but also some well-known people that you would see on a daily basis. He did not treat us any differently than his well-known clients.  Thank You Danny  and Pet Spa Resort for everything !!!!!!!! More...
