Hello Friends!
In January 2020 we purchased an amazing piece of property at 223 Mount Prospect Rd in Holderness.
Over the Winter we made extensive renovations, completely gutting the existing buildings and designing new landscaping. We reopening softly in Mid-Summer as White Mountain College for Pets.
We consolidated our 594 Tenney Mountain Highway storefront location and our Ebony Kennel location, formerly at 661 Mayhew Turnpike in Plymouth NH into our new facility in Holderness, retiring the Ebony Kennel name.
Same owner, same awesome staff, amazing new location!
Lodging, Training, Daycamp, Activities and Grooming!
Warm Wags,

I enjoyed the classes as much as my dog did. But more importantly to me, I never worry when I need to leave my dog for boarding.

Every member of the staff cares for our dog as if they were their own (maybe better!). In particular, our little Frenchie is full of energy and WMCP allows her... read more positive outlets for it in ways that result in training she doesn’t even know is happening. And it’s training us in the meantime. It really is like dropping her off at daycare to play with her friends—canine and human alike. Oggie loves WMCP and all the puppy friends she has made there!

We have a wonderful rescue dog named Arlys, who was in a local dog shelter for 6 months waiting for us to adopt her. She had some social issues and... read more Mike and the staff at WMCP worked with her and helped her socialize with other dogs as well as other people. The staff at WMCP is dedicated and caring. It has made a big difference in Arlys's behavior.

I have 2 young male dogs who attend College for Pets twice weekly. They look forward to going and are very tired when they return. The staff is professional, hard... read more working, helpful and love animals. We have been very happy with the services provided. In addition to the daycare, we have also boarded our boys while away, attended group training and plan to use the 2 week “dog camp” when we go on an extended vacation.

This place is outstanding. We leave both our dog and cat at White Mountain, sometimes for extended stays when we are traveling. The care they receive is highly... read more personal and their rates are reasonable. The staff really bonds with the pets, as if they were their own. For this reason, our dog and cat get all excited and enthusiastic when they are dropped off. In addition, the staff will call us if there is any important information to share. They are highly attentive to the needs of the pets and highly communicative with the pet owners. I highly recommend White Mountain for anyone looking for the highest quality pet care.

They gave me training as an owner of a great dog to do what I needed to continue to trane him long after I had them do it. Even though... read more it was a short time due to my income. I would recommend them to anyone that thinks you need to be rich to have a well trained animal.

100% recommend College for Pets! Our boy, Memphis just returned home from his first 5 weeks of the Lodge and Train program and he is a changed dog. He is... read more already so much more confident. We can’t wait to see what the coming months have to offer as we all continue to grow together and strengthen the amazing skills he’s acquired.

Our 3-year-old labrador retriever started at White Mountain College for Pets through the 6-week lodge and train program and we have been blown away by Mike and his team's commitment... read more to our dog’s progress and training and all of the resources that are available to us. The expert trainers have worked with our dog twice a week for nearly three months as a continuation of the training journey, which has been extremely important for our dog’s growth and ability to transfer his new skills to his home environment. We are especially grateful for the loving attention of our dog's favorite trainer, Aura, who has been a fantastic trainer for him and, just as importantly, for our entire family. She is a superstar and we couldn’t be happier about the relationship she has developed with our dog. While the price tag for training might look steep at first glance, the level of service that is offered at White Mountain College for Pets is extraordinary and a great value. We highly recommend them!

From the very first day, the staff at White Mountain College for Pets has been so welcoming & eager to help. They truly care about all the pets they... read more encounter. We enrolled our puppy, Teddy, in the Foundation Obedience class with such positive results that he has since participated in several other classes, including the Board & Train program. He absolutely loves his time there. In fact, from the moment our car turns into the driveway, his excitement cannot be contained! The entire staff welcomes Teddy by name with warmth and kindness. Thank you, White Mountain, for providing such a wonderful & positive environment for pets and their people!

Best decision we made to have our dog trained here. High level of communication and a dedicated team. We will be using other services in the future.

What a phenomenal experience attending College for Pets! The trainers are all lovely people and very knowledgeable. I was impressed with how fast they responded to my questions. The service... read more dog training is geared to help the needs of the particular individual, which is extremely beneficial. I worked with Mike and it was astonishing to watch how he catches cues with dogs even in listening to just their breath. He has taught not just my dog things, but even things about myself. I have been able to become independent again, which is huge for me. Without a doubt, I highly recommend College for Pets!

My fiancé and I are so thankful that we found White Mountain College for Pets! As most everyone we know knows, Beau is the most hyper pup I have ever... read more had, and he has really bad separation anxiety. We knew when we started our internship for our counseling program that he could not stay home alone. White Mountain College for Pets not only gave us peace of mind, but also Beau. I have seen Beau go from timid and hiding behind our legs, to happy go lucky when heading into his day camp. He's been working on so much and I have noticed he a little better at sharing toys with his dog neighbor Ellie, he is calmer throughout the day, and he is more attentive. Now, don't get me wrong, Beau has always been attentive, but I think from what he has been working on in day camp, he is just listening a little bit better at home because he is an overall calmer little guy. Beau also loves that he gets to hang with his people friends all day and that he always gets sent home with a treat or two. He has practiced socialization with other pups (a big help!), scent training, and one day he even got a little doggy massage! Long story short, if you're looking for a place for you dog to go during the day, pick here - and enroll them in day camp, it has been so great for Beau Beau! :)

The team at College for Pets was wonderful to work with from the beginning and the customer service went above and beyond any expectations. I reached out for advice regarding... read more training my parents Golden, Brewster, as a service animal. Their response was fast and soon after I had a phone consultation answering all of my questions. After a six week board and train, Brewster has become much more manageable and my mother is able to walk him without any pulling - something we never thought possible. During his time away, we were sent pictures and videos and were constantly reassured that he was in good hands. We look forward to continuing working with the team and for Brewster to develop more and more skills!

She’s a changed dog! Still hiper but much happier! Loves the tread mill and all around a better pup!! Looks forward to visiting her old pals!

SPECTACULAR! I cannot say enough good thinks about Mike and his team. Our dog is an amazing dog but has some behavioral issues. We just finished the "in-residence" phase... read more of the program and so far, it's been amazing! So much so that, while we have a house sitter that comes take care of Lucy when we're gone, we actually would rather know she's at the College. LOVE IT!
