“Gail has been instrumental with helping us welcoming home our puppy. She has been hands on with instructing us (the humans as well as the pup) and demonstrates the most effective use of training. Her methods have allowed us to bond even quicker with our new family member. It’s very clear that her goal is to have a happy pup and happy owners. Because of Gail, our puppy is developing a clear understanding of what boundaries he has at home and has picked up obedience commands very quickly! We look forward to continuing our training with Gail as our pup grows.”

“Gail and Co. are amazing!! We've gotten two shepherds from her -- and we live in Cali -- and both dogs were impeccably trained, well-mannered and overall great house/family dogs. On top of that, Gail even helped my sister get her sheepdog from another reputable east coast breeder, trained it, and flew out to California with the dog to deliver him to my sister in San Francisco. Cappas trains a lot of shepherds for law enforcement but also helps mold wonderful family dogs as well. Thanks for everything!!!”

“We met Gail Cappadona when we were introduced by the owner of the reigning World Champion Schutzhund dog. Ultimately, we purchased a German Shepherd puppy that was bred, raised and trained by Gail. Our pup arrived crate trained, house broken and with unlimited "technical" phone support. Always readily available (we needed plenty of help), Gail provided proven, common-sense solutions to dealing with a new puppy and now an adolescent dog. Thank you, Gail!”

“Gail was recommended to me as one of the best professional trainers on the East Coast and has lived up to that reputation entirely. When my former service dog passed away after 13 years, Gail handled the entire process of finding a replacement with professionalism and honesty. She worked with a breeder to choose Ebby and then boarded and trained him for more than a year. I especially appreciated her candid reports throughout the process, clearly indicating the high level of expectation..."

"We love Cappa’s! Gail, Gary, Kaylee, Meredith, Shelley everyone is absolutely awesome. I recommend them to everyone for boarding, daycare and training. Arrow our younger dog goes 3 days a week because he is too energetic to go with my husband to work. Arrow really enjoys going and is happy every time we drop him off. They are also great about reaching out to us if anything is going on we should know about (upset tummy coughing etc.) so we can pick them up early if needed. Training with Gary was huge for Arrow as well. Gary would send home “report cards” daily going over what they covered as well as recommendations for any questions we had."

"I recently completed 5 days of school training for my dog who is 16 months old, no training, was in a shelter and we had her for a month and the difference is incredible. All the employees are absolutely wonderful. Gary trained our dog and, more importantly, trained me. It was a lot to learn but Gary has more patience than anyone I know! My daughter also sends both of her dogs there with great success. You also have the opportunity to share your thoughts with other owners which I found to be extremely positive. I encourage anyone to try Cappa's Kennel for training as well as daycare play time. They exceed all expectations!"

"After 20+ years of making the Marine Corps my career, I was struggling with readjusting back to civilian life and little by little, I was struggling with physiological barriers. I had difficulty in social situations, anxiety, panic attacks, and hypervigilance. A mental health professional with the Veteran Affairs recommended that a service dog might help me with my quality of life. I applied for an interview with a prominent local service dog organization that was specifically tailored to Veterans with PTSD, needless to say, it didn’t work out with a dog that I owned, so I decided to drop the course, before I even started."

"To say that Gail is our dog trainer, understates her knowledge and skill set which enabled us to get the most out of our GSD. Her expertise of dog behavior along with her years of experience working with owners and dogs, got us through the stressful process of incorporating Frankie, our girl, into the family and creating a true lifelong companion.
We got our 8 week old GSD puppy the week after Thanksgiving and by Christmas we were in shock as Frankie was in complete control of the household."

"I can’t begin to say how grateful and pleased we are with Gail and her crew at Cappa’s Kennel. We have two large shepherds with strong opinions (they are shepherds, after all!) and one of them has some significant health issues that require special care with feeding and medication. Cappa’s Kennel is the only place we can leave our dogs and know they are getting the best of care. The people at Cappa’s love our dogs and understand them and they take excellent care of them."

"Cappa’s Kennel is the only Kennel I recommend to my clients. I have a busy 3 doctor integrative practice of veterinary medicine in Arlington, Massachusetts. When I pick up my dogs from Gail, my dog seems more fit and very happy. Gail faithfully uses the food I leave for my dog, and I can trust that her nutrition level has been maintained. When I return to Cappa’s for the next visit, my dog is happy to be there. What more can I ask for? They are great."
