We have (had) 2 dogs. When I first moved here, I had an 11 year old cocker spaniel, Brady, who was groomed regularly but not very good about it (he was an abused rescue who nipped at anyone trying to pick him up or mess with him). I was nervous to introduce a new groomer (for him and for them). After his first grooming, they realized he was a bit of a challenge and from that point on, he was only assigned to Lee for grooming. She was always pleasant, never complained about his antics and did a great job with him. I could tell she got to know Brady, because she would tell us that she had a system of getting him up on the table (using the lift) as he did not like being picked up. Brady has since passed, but we were grateful to find a nice groomer.
My husband has a 7 year old Boxer (Rowan) and she’s been going there fairly regularly for boarding and sometimes daycare for about three years. She loves going and we can tell she gets lots of playtime because she passes out in the car on our 5 minute ride home.
We’ve also taken the boxer for behavior training and the instructor was great and the classes reasonably priced. The facilities appear clean and maintained and the staff is always helpful and pleasant.
If I had any complaint, it would be that I don’t understand the boarding/daycare pricing. It seems like we pay a different rate every time we go… And I can’t figure out the boarding + daycare pricing system. I also feel that if you’re boarding my dog, daycare should be included in the price. I wonder If I don’t pay extra for daycare does my dog have to sit in the kennel all day?
Finally, it would be nice if when you first board there, they offered to show you the facilities… Where our dog would be staying. It kind of feels like we are not welcome «behind the staff door»… Where they walk our pups off to at drop-off. I believe the facilities are probably fine, because the rest of the facility looks nice, but it may relieve some concerns when you leave your dog for the first time to have a tour of the boarding kennels and play areas.

I guess because I only spent $ 620 and couldn’t afford to spend more money extras like doggie daycare, swimming time, personal attention, etc. nobody paid any attention to my dogs during their first ever boarding experience. I was very nervous leaving them as this was their very first boarding experience and I clearly explained that on check in. When I asked how they did all they could tell me is all their food was gone so I guess they ate. The only conclusion I can come to is that since nobody could tell me how they did when I asked nobody cared for them. Unless you are rich and can afford all the extras when you board (so they can take pictures and such during activities to post on their fb page), nobody will pay any attention to your dogs.
I finally got a response today after I left a negative rating on their facebook page. Suddenly they remember who my dogs were and how great they did. I don’t believe a word of it. When I ask how they are when I show up to pick them up, someone should be able to tell me immediately, not only when negative feedback is left. Not only is that concerned but so is the fact that they deleted my experience off their facebook page.

We were given a gift certificate for The Barking Dog and the first time we left our dog at this place he was attacked by another dog who ripped a hole in our dogs neck. We immediately took our dog to the vet and had him stitched up and treated. Our dog then ended up with an infection which had to be treated with antibiotics. The staff at the barking dog would not help in any way. They wouldn’t even give us the other dogs owner information and wouldn’t tell him/her to contact us. Their position was pretty much Tough Luck and their attitude was extremely poor. If you love your pet I would recommend against this place. A much better place is Brookwood Pet Resort in Canterbury, NH

I love The Barking Dog!
We have been taking our dog to the Exeter location but it was full over the holidays so we boarded pj at the Hookset location and it was as wonderful as Exeter!
They were terrific and e en stayed later, right after the holidays, because we were ensnarled in holiday traffic.
Pj was thrilled and I can’t say enough good things about how well we were all treated
Great operation

This was the first and last time we will ever board our dog here. We left our Wheaten terrier for a week with clear oral and written feeding instructions and with eight pounds of ground turkey and five mashed sweet potatoes, just enough food for the week. When we arrived to pick our dog up a week later, the sweet potatoes were gone but only about two cups of the eight pounds of ground turkey had been used! Our dog had been starved for a week due to their irresponsibility. This is inexcusable neglect.

This Place is impressive for several reasons. Stuff is really nice and they love animals. I’ve been living in New Hampshire for 3 years now and I left my cat there multiple times. The stuff always asks for feeding instructions and preferences. I love this place.

As a previous satisfied customer of the Exeter, NH location, I was faced with the need to put my dogs up for boarding while I went on vacation. My dogs have done day care in the past but have never been left for boarding.
The fact that boarding is more difficult for the owner than the dogs aside, my boys were well-cared for, safe and happy to be there. The rates are exceptionally reasonable, and with any boarding over 3 days, they’re treated to a free bath, nails and ear treatment before you pick them up.
Icing on the cake was when I asked about a credit I had on my Exeter location account. Although their computer systems are not connected, the site manager transferred the dollar value over to my account in Hooksett with no difficulty.
Great staff, clean & safe facility! BRAVO!

I have been bringing both of my dogs to the Hooksett facility for over a year now and have nothing but positive experiences. They attend daycare regularly, are groomed and we have even done classes and I have always been fully satisfied. I would highly recommend (and have) for others to bring their dogs here.
