The friendly staff at The Grateful
Dog Training & Daycare are true
animal lovers and recognize the
individuality in each dog’s learning
and playing style. Caroline Albert,
owner and operator of The
Grateful Dog has had a lifelong
passion for animals. She began her
career training horses, and after
exploring the expanded world of
animal behavior, graduated with
distinction from the Karen Pryor
Academy of Animal Training
and Behavior. The Grateful Dog
Training & Daycare facility in
Manchester is designed to keep a

With such a high demand for
equine rescue facilities, Jen is
looking toward the future and
focused on making Dorset Equine
Rescue the best it can be. This
includes plans for a dedicated barn
in order to consolidate operations.
This larger space would allow

In addition to daycare, training
classes are offered to accommodate
both owners and their best
friends at all levels. From puppy
fundamentals to family dog life
skills, trick training, and beginner
agility, The Grateful Dog educates
both dogs and their owners in a
productive and caring environment
focused on helping owners and dogs
live their best lives together. Private
training includes an immersive
board and train program, field trips
around town, and custom day-
training options. It is not unusual
to see The Grateful Dog team and
their students around Manchester,
making stops, and practicing what it
means to be “good dogs.” At home,
Caroline and her family are still all
about animals–whether it is caring
for their own menagerie of dogs,
