Dreamy Skies Dog Training

Our two dogs love Westchester K-9! After doing board and train 4 years ago, we have trusted Westchester K-9 to care and play with our pups when needed. They taught our two dogs commands that last a lifetime! Highly recommend! The staff there is wonderful! More...

Stacy and her team at Westchester K9 are hands down the best training and boarding facility you can ask for. From day one, I knew our puppy was in good hands. After training he came home a new dog. Sure it takes work to maintain the training, but that’s life. No wonder he always bounds into the van when they come to pick him up! The daily pictures posted when he’s boarding help us all to know that he’s having fun at “doggy sleep away camp”. He always comes home healthy and obedient after his stays and we never worry about them following his special diet or medicine protocols. More...

Westchester K9 has been our dog Riley’s home away from home. Our first experience with Stacey was 13 years ago right after we got him as a puppy for a stay and train 3 week session. We had never had a dog before and Stacey answered my every call and text those first few months when I wasn’t sure what to do. Since then he has gone back every time we have gone on vacation, had a graduation, summer camp visiting day etc. Especially since Riley is now a senior dog I wouldn’t think of trusting anyone else with him. Stacey and staff treat him as if he’s their own which is very reassuring. (And of course we love all the Facebook pix letting us know that he’s enjoying his stay!!) More...

I took my 10 month old miniature poodle puppy Louis to Stacy after I was told that he was aggressive enough to need a muzzle. Well that simply wasn't true. He was being leash reactive. Stacy and her team worked with Louis for a week as a day student and I have a different dog in my life. He was a sweet puppy before but now he is a pup who listens and responds to me because I know know how to get his attention. I had noisy workers outside and after one "leave it" command, he ignored them and played with me for 20 minutes with them right there. That would have never happened a week ago. I know I have to follow through with training but it's fun because he is so responsive. I also know I have a place to board him and a place to keep him for a day when I need to go out. Thank you Westchester K-9 More...

I cannot say enough positive comments on the results that Westchester K-9 gave us. My 5 year old lab had become increasingly more reactive towards other dogs, particularly when she was on a leash, over the last 2 years. Her reactivity caused such difficulty for me -- I had been dragged to my knees, across the street into traffic, broken a finger, and got a black eye -- all because she could not control her reaction to other dogs and I could not control her behavior. I could no longer walk her so, my husband who worked from home during COVID took on that responsibility. In July 2021, we realized that he might be returning to his office in the fall and I had to so something. My neighbors recommended Westchester K-9 and I called Stacy. She listened to our story and offered her professional opinion. I had trepidations having never needed a professional trainer nor boarding program with my other dogs. After our conversations with Stacy, however, we were convinced this path was the best for all of us. Ella already knew many commands -- sit, down, extended stay, wait, retrieval of the newspaper, etc. -- but not when another dog was around. Once at camp, the trainers recognized this and quickly focused in on the behavioral issues. Three weeks later, Ella came back a changed dog. With much at-home practice and training and the recommended prong collar, Ella has become a delight to walk on the leash. I am no longer afraid to take her out! She still has her moments (as Stacy said, "You can't take reactivity out of the dog."), but I (my entire family) find walking her a much more enjoyable activity. In our experience, Westchester K-9 provided excellent and professional service. Ella came back to us happy and calmer. During her stay, the trainers communicated with me by phone and email. Once she was home, we had a home visit, zoom calls and follow up text and FaceBook messages. The home visits were amazing and so much insight was provided. Stacy was very responsive to each and every question or concern. It was a very supportive system. I feel confident that Ella's training was the best option we had and I would not hesitate to recommend Westchester K-9 to anyone in need of help. More...

Negative 100 stars! We literally had the exact same experience as Caroline's review below. Our dog - perfectly healthy on his arrival - left this facility filthy, soaking wet and with a debilitating flesh-eating skin bacteria and the owner has refused to listen or work with us to discuss any responsibility on her part. Despite the fact that we were repeat customers with zero prior issues, she was immediately combative, refused to acknowledge even the possibility that something could have happened at her facility and then completely dismissive. Zero concern for how our dog is doing. Over $2500 later in medical fees and treatments, we will be filing a lawsuit against this business so that hopefully other dog owners won't have to go through what we've been through. Would not suggest that anyone trusts this person or her facility to care for their animals under any circumstances.Will await the inevitable defensive response from this business explaining how many years they've been in business, how great they are, how this couldn't have been caused by them as per the earlier identical review - but this is a horrible excuse for animal care and repeated pattern by their customers that can't possibly be explained away. This "business" should be ashamed of itself!! More...

DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID - DO NOT TRUST THIS COMPANY TO CARE FOR YOUR DOG! DISHONEST OWNER, DANGEROUS FACILITY, UNTRAINED STAFF, CONSTANT TURNOVER, ATTENTION ONLY TO INTERNET MARKETING AND SELF-PROMOTION AND NOT OUR PETS. WE SHOULD HAVE TRUSTED OUR GUT AND NOT THE OWNER'S FAKE FACEBOOK PAGE - I SINCERELY REGRET USING THIS BUSINESS. DANGEROUS! AVOID AT ALL COSTS! More...

Our Great Dane puppy Mookie absolutely loves the doggy daycare. All I have to do is say daycare today and he runs to the door. Gives us peace of mind and the ability to get a lot done. Next he'll be doing a stay and train. Thanks to the great staff and owner. Everyone we have dealt with is friendly and loving to our big guy. More...

Stacy, Chris and Kerry worked wonders with our dog Red. . . he started off as a very sweet but very(!) bouncy (and naughty) Welsh Springer and we finally realized we needed to outsource his training . . .

After three weeks, Red came home super-calm, just as sweet, and really responsive to requests and basic commands. Its awesome! So much less frustrating on a daily basis, and everyone is happier - Red included. Bravo and thanks Westchester K-9! More...

I can’t thank Westchester K9 enough! They were my last ditch effort after speaking to and working with other trainers before I had to re-home my sweet Georgie, who was picking fights with my first dog Maggie. The two are back to being best buds - playing appropriately, napping together, no more fights! Georgie is no longer going crazy around food and treats to boot. She responded much better to Jen and her positive training techniques than the previous trainer. More...

We recently enrolled our English Mastiff Abbey in their 3 week Board and Train Program. Westchester K-9 did a wonderful job with Abbey, she improved tremendously on her socialization skills. Prior to this, she was reluctant to approach and didn't know how to play with other dogs. We recently took her out for a walk in our local park where there are quite a few dogs and she did great. She was calm and went up to other dogs and/or let them snif her.

We definitely saw a difference when we picked her up at Westchester K-9. She was more confident and she was comfortable and happy to be there. I appreciated the Facebook postings of pictures of the "pack", so you see the progress and Abbey playing with the other dogs. I met Jenn the trainer and she is fantastic and Abbey really bonded with her. She took time to give us an overview of what transpired in the last 3 weeks and how they worked with Abbey. Lynne, the offce manager and Stacy, the owner called me a few times and answered all my questions before we enrolled Abbey. Westchester K-9 is a wonderful and caring place. Thank you. More...

I would leave no stars if possible. I don't know about you, but my dogs mean the absolute world to me and I would do anything for them. So it is extremely disappointing to me to come across an establishment that has so little respect for my animals. I had been bringing my dogs Sydney and Addie here for years, and multiple times they have come back with skin infections. My aunt has brought her dogs here as well and complained of similar issues. Every time I have picked my dogs up from here, they have been damp from playing with the hose, which leads me to believe that the infection resulted from a lack of proper cleaning/drying. When we spoke to Stacy to let her know what had happened, she was initially evasive, and then completely refused to take responsibility for her wrongdoing, stating that it was impossible, even though none of our dogs had ever had skin infections before coming here. It makes me sick that someone who runs a business can be so inconsiderate and not take action when there is obviously something wrong. You can be a bad person, that's fine, but please leave my dogs out of it. More...

I started bringing my terrible 3 to Westchester K9 in the summer of 2017, and I couldn’t be happier. Not only are they much easier to handle at home, they come back so tired and happy after their boarding stays. I’ve met a few members of the kennel staff, along with the office manager, and they are truly some of the nicest people. My spastic dog ended up ripping her dew claw while playing in the yard, and even though i was extremely worried, both the office manager (I believe her name was Lynne?) and the owner, stacy called me to reassure me that everything was fine and that they were getting her over to the vet immediately. I’m so thankful for them, because my dogs are my babies; but they really made me feel so much better about everything. I’ve been bringing my bunch a bit less over the winter, but once the weather warms up again, I’ll be dropping them off for daycare! Thank you again, Westchester K9!! More...

When myself and my girlfriend moved in together, she brought along her mutt (who has now become mine also) that was adopted from a shelter. His previous owner had been an ugly one, so the poor pup wasn't social and doesn't get along with anyone other than ourselves nor does he like dogs around. Yet one place that he loves is Westchester K-9. He gets along with the staff, and is comfy whenever we have to go out of town and board him here. If they weren't genuine when it came to loving and caring for animals, I don't think that my puppy would be comfortable here. They even know how to calm him into getting along with other dogs. Good people I say! More...
