Hello!
I am honored to welcome you to the White Mountain College for Pets family. We have been helping pets and people for over two decades through Ebony Kennel and White Mountain College for Pets.
We purchased and closed the former Karriad Kennel property in Holderness in January 2020.
Over the Winter we made extensive renovations to the buildings and grounds, reopening in Mid-Summer as White Mountain College for Pets.
We also consolidated our Ebony Kennel location at 661 Mayhew Turnpike in Plymouth NH into our new facility in Holderness, retiring the Ebony Kennel name.
I look forward to getting you know you and yours soon!
Warm Wags,
Mike Robertson, Founder


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.

Templeton had a great time while we went away.

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.

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.

I’ve been boarding my dogs with Mike for years when we’d go on family vacations and have always felt so comfortable our dogs have been very well cared for. ... read more When we got a new puppy in ‘20 I took some puppy classes and then enrolled my pup in Day Camp. I couldn’t be happier with every service we’ve used. The whole group at White Mountain College for Pets is awesome. When I drop my dog off in the morning for day Camp he pulls me through the door and clearly couldn’t be happier to be there. That says it all!!

The grounds and buildings are always immaculate. Every staff member I have encountered is always super friendly and smiling. All the animals look and seem happy and content.

We have used many services from White Mountain College for pets. Where to start, puppy classes, obedience foundation, grooming, lodging plus. The facility is super clean. Staff... read more is friendly and attentive. By attentive I mean listening to every single “important detail” about Sobaka’s past, present and future life with out a single eyeroll 😎. The instructors, especially Sue and Karen, are super knowledgeable and offer great tips just for Sobaka on top of all the lesson topics. We look forward to more classes and lodging opportunities.
Sobaka goes to the facility with a wiggle butt and comes back the same way. Lodging plus includes enrichment time. His manners (such as they are for a puppy) are not only in place, but better! He will be one year old this month. Great peace of mind having him in the care of White Mountain College for pets when he can not travel with us.
Communication is excellent. I frequently get replies in the middle of the night, or definitely within 24 hrs. I appreciate their flexibility to my changing travel needs.
One suggestion, as an over thinker and worrier, I would love to see/hear updates at least every other day for lodging plus.

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!

We highly recommend White Mountain College for Pets. The staff is extremely nice and professional. They are very receptive when we email asking how she is and they even send... read more pictures. Its never easy leaving your pet when you have to go away but when we do we know our girl is being taken care of and loved. Thank you White Mountain.

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!

I am blown away by the work White Mountain College for pets did for my and my dog. My dog is a 4 year old Italian Greyhound who is very... read more high energized and wreaked havoc in my house. She jumped out on counters to steal food, bolted away from me, wouldn’t let me put her harness on her, and was an awful food stealer. From the beginning, they kept my expectations realistic and were very patient with me and my question. When Gidget came home from the board and train I was just blow away by the progress she made. I can put her harness on her! She (most of the time) comes when I call her. She is able to play outside without being attached to me. She hasn’t stolen food since her return home. She is still her energetic self, but she is much more well behaved. I thought training Gidget was a lost cause (multiple other training attempts were). They cared for her like she was their dog and did an amazing job with her. Anyone looking for a committed training school for there “hopeless to train” dog, this is definitely the place!
