Chili LOVES going to Happy Dogs - so much so he drags me to the door when we are about 2 blocks from the entrance.— Sam S., 
He’s memorized the route and the second we go off of our normal walking path, his tail starts wagging up a storm and he starts to pull us towards the door.— Christopher L.,
We unfortunately moved away to SF for a few years but upon returning to NY, we just had to bring her back to Happy Dogs because she loves it so much.…We don’t even live in the neighborhood anymore - it’s actually a bit far, BUT what Penny wants, Penny gets :)

My dog used to be very shy about going to daycare, but after a 3 day intro at happy dogs she is now always pulling me to go back.
The last daycare I brought my dog to, she was shivering and shaking the moment she walked in.…Bella was immediately comfortable and excited to play! She pulled away, sniffed everything in sight, and jumped into the worker’s arms.
— Tiarah V., 
In a recent boarding with Happy Dogs our pup fell ill whilst we were out of town. We were contacted instantly and had full trust in them to take our dog to the emergency clinic…Emily communicated with us the entire time, giving us her personal number for us to reach her on.— Shaun C., 
He’s been to other doggie day cares in the area and he would just bark the ENTIRE time. He plays and wanders unbothered here.— Danielle L., After a terrible boarding experience (which led to an emergency room visit and six weeks of antibiotics), I was obviously nervous to leave my dog anywhere.…When I came to pick him up, they gave me a few details on his behavior, proving that they are actually paying attention.

Happy dogs is the ONLY place I trust to leave my dog.— Sylvie B., Our dog was going to another daycare and we canceled our membership because they would always put her in “time out”.…On the camera, it looks very big and no dog goes in “time out”.
