There are so many options to board a dog, but we are beyond thankful to have found Hammertown! Mary and her staff treat our big GSD like family and, judging by pictures regularly sent while were away, he responds in kind. From the moment we walked into the comfortable living room-esque waiting area, we and our pup were at ease and every pick up reveals a well-loved dog.If youre looking for a serious kennel that will tailor their service to your dogs needs, Hammertown is the place to go!
I highly recommend Mary and her staff at Hammertown Kennels. This was only the second time we needed to board our Basset Hound, Lulu, and it was a wonderful experience for us as well as Lulu. Our anxiety was eased as we received pictures of Lulu with other dogs, interacting with staff, and even a video of Lulu in the play yard. We even got some helpful training tips that are working for us. Mary and staff show such obvious affection and provide a vacation like setting for all their guests. We will definitely be back!!
Our pit/lab Louie had a wonderful time at his 2 night stay at Hammertown Kennels. He hadnt been in a boarding situation in a few years, so we were nervous about how he would do with the other dogs. Joanne and Mary are very knowledgeable about dog behavior and knew which dogs to introduce him to first, and in a careful and safe manner. Their love for dogs was evident and we so appreciated their care and concern. When we received a video of Louie joyfully playing off-leash with another dog, we were so happy and relieved. We have already booked another, longer stay.
Our experience was amazing! Everyone at Hammertown Kennels clearly loves dogs and treats them as if they are their own. Communication was amazing and the service was easy and efficient. My dog was happy and I could relax knowing he was in a caring environment getting lots of exercise and love. Mary was super accommodating when I had travel troubles and needed to add additional time. What a great find! 🥰
Cant speak highly enough of Hammertown. Our dog Lulu has stayed 2 times for extended stays, and its very comforting for us to know that her days are enriching. We love getting photos of her everyday! When she comes back, shes happy and well adjusted.
If anyone is ever looking for dog boarding/training I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Hammertown Kennels in Pine Plains, NY. They are Amazing!!! The place is Beautiful. The kennels are indoor/outdoor - seperated by a doggie door so that your dog can go in & out as they please (inside air-conditioned of course). There is a farm with horses that the dogs Love. A shallow lake to run and play in. And the Owners are just Great people. I can tell my dog Loved them very much.I am so happy that I chose them & I will most definitely bring my Nala back. 🐾❤
Our 3 boys had a blast here!!! Everyone was so kind and accommodating. We were in a bind & needed a place to board our boys for a week over the holiday weekend, so we reached out to Mary and she gladly got them in. While they were staying there we received pictures and updates which we really enjoyed. Would recommend to any family or friends needing a place for their 4 legged friends.
Highlights: they provide great care for your pet, great communication (they send updates with photos & videos throughout), pets are happy and free (my dog loves going), friendly and caring staff and an incredibly organized operation. The location is perfect and beautiful. Each pet has its own kennel with indoor and outdoor space which is great.Would recommend to a friend? : absolutely.
We boarded our rambunctious and social dog with Mary this week. She got socialized with other dogs, spent time out of the kennel in the office and went on walks.The kennel and grounds are gorgeous.Mary sent videos and pictures so we could see how she was getting on. Mary was very responsive by text.
Most loving and individual attention youre dog will get at any kennel
