Yup, It’s True, We Live for Dogs!

Our indoor dog park has been a staple in the Everett, MA community for over 25 years

As one of the first Doggie Daycare facilities on the East coast, our passion for pooches has been waggin’ our tails since 1997! Our 12,000+ square foot facility boasts a 6000 square foot indoor dog park modeled after The Boston Common, 43 luxurious bedrooms, a special play area for younger puppies, a separate training area for one-one-one sessions & classes, and a private area for our Structured Daycare program – click here to learn more.


We are a training-based facility, so all the dogs that come to The Common Dog receive “Enrichment” where we work with every single dog. This is included in your daycare price. Each day we might be focused on encouraging a better group play style, basic commands, holding a stay, agility, leash pulling, basic manners, running on a treadmill or solving puzzles. Providing an environment that truly stimulates each dog helps with anxiety, boredom, manners, learning new skills and more, all of which lead to a better relationship with their owners.

Testimonials

TCD has completely changed my dog’s life! I rescued my girl in the fall of 2024, and she was dealing with serve trauma from her previous home, including major reactivity, separation anxiety, and aggression. After signing her up for a board and train last summer, and then following up with structured daycare weekly, she is a new dog. TCD has the most wonderful trainers that genuinely care about the success of your dog. Every week I am amazed with how Harley continues to become a better version of herself thanks to the help here. We are blown away with the progress she has made here. She looks forward to going every time, and loves all of the trainers like a second family.


Added bonus- I travel frequently for work, and there is nothing better than knowing that my dog is safe and is being taken care of while I’m away. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Catherine OConnor

I absolutely love this place. I initially brought my dog here for daycare due to a busy work schedule but they’ve gone above and beyond with helping to support in training. The workers are kind, patient and diligent, they take the time to remember owners and their dog. I’ve done structured daycare, board and train, grooming and in home training and everything has been 10/10. Would recommend common dog and they wonderful people there, well worth the price.

Monica

I cannot say enough about The Common Dog. We needed help with our Colby he was reactive and skittish. After 2 years of trying to correct and manage him we enrolled him in a board and train. JB and staff knew immediately what he needed and what we as a family needed to continue to do at home to ensure success. I am happy to say Colby is doing well. We continue to follow up with both structured day care and regular day care. We have also boarded him since and all is well. Thank you to the entire staff at Common Dog. Sometimes it takes a village and your love for these dogs eases the feelings of both parent and pup!! If I could give 10 stars I would!!!
