Bub'ly Bow Wow

Bub'ly Bow Wow offers overnight dog boarding in Hubbardston, MA, along with grooming and obedience training, from its location at 10 Seminole Ave. Stays are arranged by appointment, and the kennel welcomes all breeds and ages. It suits owners who want one place to handle a stay, a groom and some training work.

What services does Bub'ly Bow Wow offer?

The business covers three things: boarding, grooming and training. The training side gets particular attention, with courses built around the AKC Canine Good Citizen program.

• Overnight boarding by appointment
• Dog grooming
• Obedience training
• AKC Canine Good Citizen certification courses
• All breeds and ages welcome

What makes it different from other kennels?

The credentials are the main draw here. Bub'ly Bow Wow lists a Certified Master Groomer credential from the National Dog Groomers Association of America. It also lists an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator and an AKC Instructor of Temperament Testing and Obedience Training.

For owners, that means the grooming and training are backed by recognized credentials and are a core part of the business. The kennel's own website is plainspoken and practical, with more attention on how things work than on sales talk.

What should owners know before booking?

Booking is done by phone at 508-757-6848, and vaccinations are required. It helps to have vaccination records ready when calling.

Posted hours are Monday 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, Wednesday 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM, and Thursday 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM. Weekend hours are short: Saturday 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM and Sunday 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Since stays run by appointment, it is worth confirming drop-off and pick-up times before making plans.

Questions can also be sent by email to carrieprest3@gmail.com. The kennel keeps a Facebook page as well, which is another place to check for updates.
