About Hickory Springs Farm

Services

Hickory Springs Farm is a family-owned boarding kennel on 16 acres in Phoenixville, PA, offering boarding, daycare, grooming, and training. Training options include "Boarding School" in-kennel (board-and-train) programs and private lessons.

Approach

The trainer combines successful concepts from classical conditioning with reward- and correction-based training, and is described on the site as a certified dog trainer and animal behaviorist.

Good to know

The Connett family (Della and Tom) has operated the farm since 1962, with staff on-site around the clock and nightly safety checks. Training is one offering within a broader boarding operation, ideal for owners wanting obedience work bundled with a kennel stay.
