Go...Cristina V. replied:Canine Fence is the absolute best. It is not cheap but they stand by their product - will help you train and will come back to fix anything adjust the collar retrain if necessary. I would not recommend any of the cheaper companies or the do it yourself products as I have unfortunately seen too many nightmares.

Kristen H. asked:Looking for recommendations for a place to board our dog. TIA!Cristina V. replied:Call Grant at Leash leader in Framingham or if it is a small dog consider keeping it at home and having Ashland Pet Concierge come to visit 2-3 times a day. Alternatively, find someone to stay in your home. All these options are a little less stressful than traditional boarding. If your dog is older or on chronic meds it would benefit from constant care and supervision while you are away though.

I have heard good things about "The Happy Retriever" (I believe that is the name) in Holliston and the other one I know is good is Masterpiece dog training in Franklin. I strongly believe that training early on is as important to dogs as vaccinations, so I hope you get some help soon. Best of luck!
