Play Dog Excellent

We bring our dog here for classes and we love it! Obviously we get a lot from the classes on both ends of the leash, but the trainers are also very willing to meet your dog where they’re at. No adverse training and no harmful recommendations - all behavior work has been done through positive reinforcement. Anna is our favorite trainer and has helped us do a lot more with our dog than the immediate class descriptions! We’ve taken basic obedience, tricks and techniques and do more with your dog. The obedience class and do more with your dog were awesome for commands and fun tricks!

Highly recommend for quality care and expertise! I can’t say enough good things about Play Dog Excellent in Red Bank. From start to finish, the entire experience was seamless and professional. It’s clear the staff truly knows what they are doing—they are incredibly knowledgeable about dog behavior and safety, which gave me total peace of mind. Whether it’s the structured environment or the clear communication, everything is handled with care. If you’re looking for a place that treats your dog like a priority and provides an all-around top-tier experience, this is it!

We have gone to two training sessions and also use the boarding facilities. The training is so much fun and that’s mostly due to Anna having the best attitude. We just finished Do More w Your Dog and it was a fun look at dog sports. Training really creates a connection and I would highly recommend going past basic obedience. Bowie seems to have the best time at boarding too and always comes back tired from playing. So glad we found PDX and thanks Anna for a wonderful class.

In 2008 with the first one and now in April 2022 with our fourth Sloughi, all our dogs have always enjoyed the classes for puppies and adult dogs. And, we love the very professional and friendly people at PDX.

Best care for my sweet pup and wonderful customer service! The staff genuinely care about the pets in their care!

We have done a few trainings with PDX and love it. The office staff is extremely responsive, friendly and accommodating. The training staff are helpful and know what they are doing. Thank you

Play Dog Excellent is home away from home for my pup, Sophie. She is always excited to go to daycare and exhausted at pick up. Sophie LOVES the PDX team and I can’t blame her. They are patient, kind, and knowledgeable. Be it general questions, class training, or one on ones, the team consistently provides great training and support for both of us. Sophie wants to be a therapy dog when she grows up - I have no doubt with PDX’s continued support, her dreams will come true.
