Abby Kennels Puppy Training Services
Performed in a group setting, our basic training services can address your dog’s unique temperament, as well as your personal needs and daily lifestyle with your companion. Manager Mary Farren specializes in dog training throughout the Merrimack Valley, Southern New Hampshire, and Boston, and has 30 years of experience. Our Chelmsford facility is located on five acres of land where your dog can safely learn anything from security and protection to behavior modification.
In these classes, we work on off-leash training and commands so dogs can start being more comfortable away from their handlers for longer durations. We teach them not to jump or lunge, as well as provide coping mechanisms for separation anxiety – something many dogs struggle with. To that end, we also work with your dog’s veterinarian to prescribe medication for this type of anxiety if needed.

The more well behaved your dog is, the more opportunities become available to you to enjoy your dog, and this will make them happy as well.
A well-trained dog can walk politely down the streets of a busy city, relax by your side at an outdoor cafe, or hike through the woods off leash. Can your dog do these things? Some people acquire a dog to be a protector of their family. In that case, a well-trained dog can be a security system that travels with you as your personal companion and protector.
