Welcome to Abby Kennels, your trusted destination for canine care, now under new management and featuring recent renovations. At Abby Kennels, we take pride in providing compassionate and expert care for dogs of all breeds and backgrounds. Our dedicated manager, Mary Farren, brings an impressive 30 years of experience to the table, having been certified as a dog trainer by Animal Behavior College and recognized as a Certified Canine Good Citizen Evaluator by the AKC. While we are based in Chelmsford, we proudly serve the entire Greater Boston area, the Merrimack Valley, and Southern New Hampshire.
From Lowell to Woburn, you can rely on Abby Kennels for a range of exceptional amenities, including spacious, clean, and comfortable kennel facilities, sprawling five-acre grounds, and customized training programs that cater to all stages of a dog's development, from puppy training to advanced techniques.
Mary Farren's lifelong passion for dogs and her diverse experience in the field led her to pursue her dream of managing her own facility. After working with various kennels, participating in training clubs, teaching obedience and protection techniques, and even leasing space in Melrose, she recognized the growing demand for dog training, particularly in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic. With more people acquiring dogs that required socialization, housebreaking, and behavior modification, Mary saw an opportunity to make a difference.
In her quest for additional kennel space, Mary identified the potential in Abby Kennels, which had long been a well-established facility in the area. In January 2023, Abby Kennels underwent a revitalization, featuring newly renovated kennel spaces, upgraded flooring, enhanced facilities, and expansive indoor and outdoor areas for dog training and play. We offer a comprehensive array of services, including group training, private training, boarding, grooming, and day care, ensuring that all your canine companions' needs are met with expertise and care.
