"My 2 Sheepadoodles had a great time and were very happy! They did daycare during the day and were boarded overnight for 8 nights. I will definitely leave them there again when I go away."

"Thank you so so much for all the kind words. Don't know what we would have done without you for so many years. Hector's favorite days were Tuesday and Thursday when he got to go to "camp" All we had to say is time for camp and he got so excited to go to Wagmore. When he got to Wagmore he would just jump out of the car. Even with bad hips!!! He loved his vacations there. Sometime when I would pick him up he would go back to Damien. He loved him so much. He loved all of you. And so do I! Wagmore has been so wonderful to Hector over the years. We will miss the wonderful staff on drop off days. They are so great! I am so sorry that Hector passed in his sleep at your place. I can't think of another place he loved so much. It made us feel so much better knowing he was taken care off so kindly and professionally by you. We will NEVER forget that. Nancy and Amos Brown Jamaica, VT"

"I brought my timid dog for daycare. There were no attempts to win over his trust with treat or toys. They just grabbed his leash and tried pulling him toward the kennel. When this didn’t work a different employee came over and said, “your not going to like me” and grabbed him by his harness and attempted to drag him. No surprise that these two techniques didn’t work. I gave two stars because the kennel itself looked nice but the employees have no idea how to deal with timid dogs. Edit in response to owner. Our dog wasn't frightened until they started to pull him by the lead. How would giving him treat in the entrance without any other dogs around lead to resource guarding? Our dog absolutely loves other dogs and is very well socialized with dogs. The problem was not with dogs is was how the employees failed to gain any trust with the dog before dragging him on lead. I would highly recommend professional training for your staff. Edit in response to the owners edit. You obviously were not there. We didn't help ourself to treats in the front office. Your staff of teenagers absolutely draged and forced our pup with no attempt to gain trust. I'm also sorry we brought our pup to your establishment. Satisfy owners needs? We don't need daycare, never had needed it. We just wanted to get him comfortable with boarding. He is house trained, has a 16 acre farm to explore, and always comes with us on trips. Don't worry though, if we ever do need to board him we found the perfect match at The Barn at Off The Hook Kennels. They took the few minutes to gain his trust. It's crazy how people who know how to work with dogs can easily gain the trust of unsure pups."

"We were so happy with Wagmore and all of the great people taking care of our dogs! Our terrier can be a bit of a handful, but Rachel and her staff welcomed him and both our dogs just had a great time!! Thanks Wagmore (^.^)"

"We have had nothing but good experiences with Wagmore Kennels. We bring our rather active Lab to daycare every week. She always comes home exhausted and happy! You can really tell that the people at Wagmore genuinely care about the pups as they get to know each one personally. We never worry about leaving our dog in their care."
