Sorry this pro can’t do your job, but we know other pros who can.
Introduction: I think our service stands out because we are both certified dog trainers and handlers with lots of experience. Suzanne is a CPDT-KA, AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and Temperament Test (ATT) Evaluator. Dan is a police K9 handler. Our boarding, training and daycare packages are tailored for each dog’s specific needs. We understand that its not always about training alone – its about knowing how to manage your dog as well. Coaching our clients for their particular situation and simply helping them to have a better relationship with their dog is our primary focus and goal. There is nothing that can replace years of true hands-on experience. We have been involved in rescue, fostering, therapy dog service work, K9 training and competitive obedience for 15+ years. We actively train our own dogs and we continually look to educate ourselves about new or different training methods, dog behavior, proper nutrition, etc. Our training philosophy is a balanced training approach individualized for each dog. We realize that each dog and owner is unique and we welcome the opportunity to create a program that works for both of you. We have plenty of satisfied clients that would be happy to provide references! We love our dogs and we enjoy the relationships we've built with each one. We love to help people to have the same relationship with their own dog. We have become friends with many of our clients and their dogs and enjoy those relationships immensely!

We have been boarding our German Shepherd with Suzanne and Danny for 3 years. Stays have been anywhere from a few days to 2-3 weeks. We have also combined boarding with their training services. We live in Clifton Park and would not go anywhere else - it is well worth the drive to Nassau. They are both consummate professionals and, perhaps as important, truly love dogs and care about their boarders. Their facility is top notch: clean and spacious. And we like that they take only a small number of boarders at a time. He gets a ton of personal attention and play time with Suzanne and Danny and their dogs; they really treat him as part of their family. He comes home happy and looking forward to his next trip to "camp". We cannot recommend them highly enough. Ray and Jeannie Kolarsey

Suzanne and Danny are absolutely wonderful! I have an Italian Mastiff and Suzanne was our trainer from the very beginning! I had never had dog before and knew this type of dog required extensive training! Suzanne helped train both me and my dog Vera! Suzanne is very compassionate in what she does! Vera is now CGC certified and I can take her anywhere with out ever worrying if Vera will behave correctly! I learned so much training with Suzanne! Anytime I felt I could not teach Vera something, Suzanne always took the time to help re teach and re learn the correct ways to train my dog! I went into her training class not knowing anything and never did she make me feel less of myself for not knowing one thing about training a dog. Very encouraging, passionate, thoughtful, and amazing positive atmosphere to learn! We also board Vera with Suzann & Danny. Vera is 145lbs and finding people that will board her while still giving her ample room to play is hard to find! Suzanne & Danny have out done themselves with the kennel they have built! Its great to know our boarders have a loving heart for our dog while we are away! I would recommend The Master's Gate Kennel to anyone!

The Master's Gate is the ONLY place that I will even consider leaving my Maggie when we go out of town. The Kennel is beautiful and clean and I don't doubt for a second that Maggie is probably having more fun with them than she does at home. I am completely anxiety free knowing that my dog is well taken care of while I am away. I don't trust her with anyone else!

We have 2 large breed dogs with a lot of energy. They are not for the faint of heart. Bringing them to Danny & Suzanne is such a comfort as they are both not only dog lovers, but trainers. Our dogs love them and we feel secure leaving them there. The kennels are clean and we know that the dogs are well cared for. Would definitely recommend this kennel!

When we got Maggie, she gave mywife and me a run for our money. We adopted her at 10 months old and she had some bad habits. We worked with Suzanne to train Maggie and the results were phenomenal. Suzanne not only trained Maggie, but she trained us on how to communicate with Maggie to provide clear commands and praise her appropriately. The dog we originally came home with and the one I have now after training are two different dogs. We constantly get comments on how well behaved she is and that is in large part due to the training we received!!
