BEST Kennel around!!! I got my first dog ever from here and he’s amazing. He’s so handsome and so much fun. I get compliments on his look and personality all the time. I would be lost without the amazing training my German Shepherd puppy Calvin receives at Abby Kennels. He has learned so much in a short period of time. The staff is very friendly and take great care of my puppy. I can’t say enough good things about Abby Kennels. They’re simply the best and I would never go anywhere else!

I have known Mary for years, and was so excited to hear that she had recently taken over Abby kennels! She is so knowledgeable of the breed and a fantastic trainer. Anytime I have questions or concerns about any of my dogs, She is the first person I reach out to.

We love Abby Kennels!! We brought our adult dog there after she started getting reactive with other dogs on our walk and they were phenomenal with her. We trained together and were able to take home easy tips on how to help her on our walks. After a few lessons we saw a major difference and still use Mary’s tips to this day! New management has really outdone themselves. Couldn’t recommend them more.

Abby Kennels is under new management and has been much better. Do not go by what their old reviews say. Mary is amazing and has been taking care of my dogs since they were 8 weeks or so. She has trained them and is extremely gentle/patient given the fact that I have two very high drive Belgian Malinios. I would never bring my two insanely high drive dogs to someone that isn't familiar with my breed, so I 150% trust abby kennels with my dogs. No need to look anywhere else because this should be your go to place for your pet needs. Customer service is amazing and 10/10 would recommend this place to anyone.

I can not thank Mary F. at Abby Kennels enough for all of her hard work with training my puppy Shiloh as well as myself. In my experience Mary is wonderful and has patience with every dog. For me she has taking a difficult training situation (first time puppy owner) and making it an enjoyable learning experience. She literally is the puppy whisper!

Abby Kennels is the best place for my dog! My boy gets all of his needs as he’s a high drive intensity dog. With new owner ship the place has really come together. We love coming here for boarding, training, daycare, you name it!

As an owner of a high drive,in tact, GSD it was nearly impossible to find a day care that would accept my boy. I was referred to Abby Kennels by my neighbor and it’s been the best experience since day one. My dog loves seeing his friends, both human and canine, when I drop him off. They take really good care of my dog and are invested in his health/ training. The staff are super friendly and keep a close eye on the dogs when they’re out in the yard not allowing any escalation or “funny business.” They send pictures of how happy he is and when I pick him up they always give me a quick report of how the day went and if there is anything I need to work on with him. Best of all.. I have one tired puppy dog when we get home. I highly recommend Abby Kennels!

I brought my puppy to Abby Kennels for training and I can’t say enough positive things. Mary is amazing. She is clearly very educated and passionate about dogs. She evaluates the dog individually for what he specifically needs and goes above and beyond. You see a difference in one day. She’s so caring and attentive, my dog loves her. I know he’s in good hands when I drop him off. I would highly recommend.

Abby Kennels is under new management and lots of physical changes to the building. Mary is wonderful ‼️ I have an extremely high energy 1yr old German Shepherd old. I sent Sammie to doggie bootcamp for 3 week's. When I picked her up she had been taught self-control and socialization, along with basic obedience. Mary is not your average dog trainer. We now call her auntie Mary because we love her.

I do not have experience with the kennels when they were run by the previous owner, but I have had a great experience with Mary Farren, the new owner of this kennel. Mary is a phenomenal trainer: incredibly experienced, responsive, and very attentive to every dog she trains. My dog is always very excited to see Mary and to train with her. I have been working with Mary ever since my GSD was six months old (she is now almost 3) and we have consistently had a great experience. My pup is rock solid in obedience thanks to Mary and we will likely pursue more advanced training as well. I also have used Mary for board and train services twice for 3 weeks at a time while traveling and both times I returned home to a happy, healthy and better trained pup!

Mary has helped to improve my French Bulldog’s social behavior tremendously! He was attacked by a dog when he was a puppy, and was never able to socialize with other dogs properly and appropriately, but since we’ve taken him to Mary’s and worked with her to help combat this issue, it’s almost as if we have a new dog! He is able to be around other dogs, and walk by dogs without him viciously barking and lunging at other dogs on leash, (this was something we never thought was possible!) We were even able to get a new puppy which he has been wonderful with! We can’t thank Mary enough!!

Abby Kennels is by far the most superior place to bring your furry friends to. Our dogs Baylee and Tyson have been going there for quite some time and they actually love going there. Mary has trained both of them since they were 8 and 12 weeks old and has built a lasting relationship with them to the point that they don’t even look at us anymore when we drop them off. That in itself should be reassuring as we are trusting Abby Kennels to take care of our fur babies and they do so to the highest caliber. 10/10 recommend this place to anyone.

Amazing facility and management. My understanding is this kennel is under new management. My dog had to stay for a month. I am not local so by word of mouth I heard about this facility. My plans changed along the way and Mary was very reasonable and accommodating and worked with me on my changes. I am so impressed, I'll definitely be back. Dog was happy, healthy and a little better trained upon pick up Bonus! Highly recommend this facility and Mary.

Under new management and couldn't be happier! I dropped my two dogs off for a weekend as my wife and I had to go to a wedding. Our dogs were so happy and tired when they got home, it was obvious they got a lot of play and outdoor time and I got an update on how they are an behaved while there. Mary is fantastic, our two dogs are our absolute world and we wouldn't even think twice about boarding them at Abby Kennels again!

Mary is an amazing trainer, and I wouldn’t board my dog with anyone else. We’ve had the best experience with Abby Kennels this year.

Abby Kennels is under new ownership with caring, responsible, seasoned, dedicated management. The owner is an also a trainer of the highest caliber. Her love of dogs, concern for their welfare, and vast experience create a clean, safe, compassionate environment. Dogs are in good hands at Abby Kennels.

Abbys Kennel is a great place for my dog. Lately I've seen many changes in and out. The place is allways clean, the walls painted and my puppy loves to spend the day with the rest of the dogs. I met Mary and Julie. They are the most wonderful people I ever met. Surely I recomend Abbys Kennel if you have a puppy, definitely a great place for your puppies. Two thumbs up.

My dog Gunner whose a pitbull/boxer mix loves coming here and socializing with his puppers! He is outside majority of the day and loves it.

I can't believe the positive reviews of this sad facility. I would never board my dog at this place, and I sure wouldn't buy a dog that was bred there after seeing the inside conditions of the kennel. Terrible environment for animals - small crates and crude cages. The dogs are distressed and I can't even describe the GSP breeding kennel. Awful place.

I hoped with the new management that things would improve at Abby Kennel but it is much worse. This facility doesn’t stand behind their services, the staff can’t read dogs and misrepresent their dogs, and don’t stand behind their services.If I I could give zero stars, I would. Avoid at all cost.

Wonderful facility and Mary does a great job caring for the dogs and accommodating their individual needs. My dog always comes home happy and tired!

I'm not sure where to start, I will never board another dog at this facility. Prices quoted when booking were different then prices when called to confirm my dogs stay. They charge extra fees for everything including giving meds in pill pockets which all were provided. Communication from that start was poor and I wish I had called another place but it was too late for holiday booking at that time. Not to mention the hours and days open changed per phone call.But here's the kicker, brought my dog home and now here we sit in a emergency clinic with a kennel cough diagnosis.The staff on the phone was rude and the woman at the desk was extremely rude the only thing that eased me was the kennel girl who seemed sweet and caring.

Kevin and his team did amazing work with my stubborn German shepherd. My dog is an almost perfect gentleman at a little over a year old. He really taught us the skills to have the dog listen very well. And he still has his unique charm.

Our puppy Dublin loves going here to play with other dogs and be groomed. The staff is amazing with him and we couldn’t be happier. It’s very relieving to know Dublin is in good hands when he has his doggy daycare days. Keep up the great work!
