In the past 10 years we have been able to operate our service oriented business primarily based on the loyalty and devotion of our clientele. These clients have entrusted their beloved pets into our care allowing us to make some of the greatest four legged friends which we continue to see on a regular basis. We have seen young pups grow into well rounded adult dogs and we have helped in keeping dogs healthy and energetic well into their senior years. We are proud of the service we provide pet owners 365 days a year. Here are some of our clients attesting to our hard work.

Recently, upon arriving in Montreal after an extended 10 year sojourn out west....I discovered Montreal dogs. What a find! Mina, the owner, really loves canines, and it shows. Customers arriving or leaving with their dogs, are always grinning as she fawns over their 4 legged friends. Not only does she spoil them rotten (the dogs), she remembers their names as if they were her best buds! My Tater stayed 14 nights, had play time ( a great service) almost every day, and was more relaxed after his visit, than any other time we had left him, ANYWHERE. He was in a word....MELLOWED OUT. I heartily recommend MONTREAL DOGS, what a terrific service, for dog and owner...

Thanks Mina and Tilda, and all the staff,

Cheers!

When I adopted my first Siberian Husky from a rescue organization, I was in for a shock: this gorgeous adult fur ball was not socialized, was leash-aggressive, would not respond to any command and quickly demonstrated to me why the members of his breed are known as "escape artists"!

Montreal Dogs has proven a life saver. I will always be grateful that none of Baïka's behavioural issues scared you. We were readily welcomed and I am truly amazed at how friendly and truly caring everyone is. Doggie day care has provided my Sibe with the "pack dog" experience as well as the exercise required to transform him into a well balanced, confident, happy, socialized and healthy dog.

Despite working long hours and living in the city, I was able to rescue a second Siberian, secure in the knowledge that through doggie day care, my huskies' basic needs for exercise and company would be fulfilled.

Montreal Dogs feels like a second home to my boys and the busy working human in our family particularly appreciate your "one stop address" concept: food, toys, boarding, training, nails cutting, grooming... no need to run anywhere else, it is readily available!

Thank you so much!

I have been taking Peanut to Montreal Dogs every day since the summer of 2002. It is truly his second home. The minute we turn the corner off Jean Talon to Mountain Sights his excitement and anticipation take over and he can barely wait to get in and play with his pals. Mina, Tilda, John, Ed and Miranda are a life-line. They are knowledgeable, caring, trusting, patient and pleasant and all have dog(s) of their own. They have a keen understanding of the beast. Peanut is an atopic dog with all sorts of nasty allergies and skin problems. We suffer from many sleepless nights and when it becomes a bit too much for me, Peanut has a sleepover with his buddies and my energy and sanity are once again restored. This full service facility, with grooming, training, boarding, and daycare is the "best of the best" and I recommend it to every dog owner I meet. I thank you all every day for the wonderful care you give my Peanut.

"Keeping our dog in shape and socialized are very important to us. This is why since Lucky was just a puppy, he has been attending doggy daycare. Four years later, it is still part of his regular routine which he cannot do without. Along with boarding and grooming, we just wouldn't trust anyone else except Montreal Dogs with a precious member of our family and Lucky considers everyone there (including both the human and canine kind) part of his family too!"

I found Montreal Dogs after quite a long search for a private training with my wonderful 2 year old whippet, Billy. Me and my family mostly needed the training I have to admit.

I took private classes at Montreal Dogs with Mina over a period of three months in the summer of 2009. Right after the first class, I felt right away better equiped and knew better how to handle my best friend. Mina helped me understand my dog, his behavior, his breed and she gave me and my family an easy and fun routine to practice at home.

My dog turned out to be quite a fast learner. Billy is still a diva and a bit of a drama queen. However, is behavior changed as he is now calmer, more balanced, confident and even more enjoyable to live with.

Mina is flexible, available and very generous of her knowledge. She made us feel like family and whenever we go back for playtime, we truly feel welcome. We thank her for everything.

Mina,

Thanks for a great training session today. When we got home, we put her on the leash and started training right away. She was amazing and almost as obedient as she was with you today. It's going to be such a pleasure over the next few days to see how she reacts.

Will let you know before next weekend.

Thanks!!

The staff at Montreal Dogs are the best. I was impressed at the care they give to all the dogs. Each one an extended part of their family. We live on the south shore of Montreal and would drive 40 minutes each way to bring our dog Zeus (German Shepherd) to play with the other dogs. At first we were nervous with Zeus due to his fast growth and size...many people fear a German Shepherd, so we knew we would need help in controlling him and ensure he would be a loving & caring pet. Firstly if you want to ensure your dog is social and learns to behave in public and interact in a good way with other dogs make sure you put them in daycare...as early as possible. Thank goodness Montreal Dogs offers that service. We were nervous at first but Mina reassured us that Zeus would be alright. Sure enough he is really great with other dogs.

As for training we had a couple of private trainers (before we knew about Montreal Dogs) who did a good job at teaching the dog, but bad at teaching us. It's pointless to have the dog do everything only with the trainer. Zeus would not listen to us at all, even after hundreds of dollars of at home training.

Now Zeus listens and it's because of Mina's amazing human and dog training skills. For the humans we had homework and for the dog it was all about positive reinforcement, no chokers or any type of bad correctional methods.

Zeus is almost a year old and we owe all our thanks and gratitude to Montreal Dogs for making sure Zeus is a social, loving and happy dog who listens. We recommend Montreal Dogs to anyone who really wants the best for their dogs.
