Wow Take A Bow offers quality canine services for customers in Central and Western Massachusetts. Our philosophy is simple: dogs are treated like valued family members, nothing less will do.

All for fun -- one run for all!

While here, your pup will enjoy playing, relaxing, and learning in the company of other friendly dogs. If your dog is in need of some TLC, they can receive a full-blown grooming to the style of your choice. We even offer training services for dogs in our care, from basic manners to helpful tasks and fun tricks.

CLOSING MARCH 1, 2011

Folks, Wow Take a Bow will cease operations March 1, 2011. It pains me to close the business on such short notice, but I have had worsening health and now I need to take care of myself. The American Poodles At Work program will continue as we resettle in Worcester and I recuperate. We have added a Guest Book where people can leave their well-wishes and add friendly recommendations for local alternative dog care facilities. Thank you for helping me fulfill my entrepreneurial canine dream these last three years. Best wishes. - Jillian

I am ready

Training Videos

The following are short videos showing some of the methods our trainer, Jillian, uses. Notice how the dogs are encouraged -- any 'corrections' are a verbal "nope" to let them know they should try something else. The dogs are happy and eager to learn.

Teaching Videos

Training a dog is done using positive reinforcement, redirection and sufficient repetition to achieve success.
