Reenee's Haven - Bethlehem, Connecticut

I am so thankful for Mark’s boarding and training services. We drive an hour each way because Reenee’s Haven is the perfect fit for our dog and our family. We can now travel without worry; our dog so clearly adores Mark and his dogs.

I recommend Reenee’s Haven for all dogs, however, having an 85-pound Great Dane mix, I particularly value Mark’s care and training for large and giant breeds. Other boarding/daycare settings weren’t sized for our dog – the fencing was too low, the dog play groups were too big, and the supervision was sometimes lax. By contrast, Mark introduced our dog to his facility slowly and carefully, getting to know her, making sure she was safe, and giving her a chance to get familiar. Our dog is carefully socialized with other dogs in Mark’s care as well as the border collies at Wisteria Farm. Jen, who owns Wisteria Farm, is also a fantastic resource for training and our dog has a blast running in the pasture at her farm.

Recently, Mark and Jen provided training following concerns we had over our dog’s behavior and leash reactivity. They carefully assessed the issues and provided a clear training plan and the tools we needed to be successful. We are now walking our dog past other dogs with little reactivity and lots of increased confidence. We also feel better able to manage our large dog in a variety of situations. So, in addition to being amazing with dogs, Mark and Jen are a tremendous resource for humans too! Our dog and our family are so happy to have found them and recommend them to others.

We recently began working with Mark on training our 10 month old black lab. Prior to our first training session, we were quickly losing confidence that our dog would ever be a respectful member of the family. By the second training session, we were already seeing a tremendous difference in our dog - and by session 3, we saw a completely different dog! Mark was extremely knowledgeable and worked to figure out the best methods to work with our dog - it was not a "one size fits all" approach and I truly believe that is why we saw such quick results. By consistently utilizing the methods that Mark gave us, our dog is now able to greet guests properly and respect the rules of the house. It feels like a huge weight has been lifted off of our shoulders! The peace of mind we feel now about handling any issues that come up in the future is huge. Thank you so much Mark!

Highly recommend Reenee's Haven to fellow large breed dog owners! We've boarded our dog several times and have had all positive experiences. Mark is very responsive, flexible, and reliable. He's also provided some great training advice for stopping a few bad habits. Most importantly, it's very clear our dog loves her stays -- and we love that she gets plenty of attention, exercise, and playtime with other large dogs.
