Boarding

Would you enjoy your time away more if you knew your dog was in a home being treated like family? When you return, do you feel as if you are starting over with your training? Are you concerned about your dog being in a kennel all day at a boarding facility or alone all day at home except for a couple of short visits by a petsitter?

If you want the very best for your dog, then our Boarding option is for you. Your dog will certainly be thrilled to see you when you return, but dogs who stay with us are having too much fun on their own vacation to worry while you are gone. They will have the company of other dogs (but not too many), lots of comfortable places to nap, and of course lots of time hanging out with us! They can play in the fenced back yard or sun themselves on the deck.

Zuzu was so excited about our indoor training and play area that she put this video together to persuade future boarders to schedule stays. (Unfortunately, Zuzu is no longer with us, but Zooka and Blitzen are very excited about new friends coming to stay with us).

Dogs must be:

fully house-trained
non-destructive
crate trained (for sleeping at night)
dog-friendly (no aggression, resource guarding, or other issues that will cause problems with other dogs)
people-friendly (no aggression or overly shy/fearfulness)
ok with intact male dogs (we currently have two)
must not be able to jump or climb over a 6-foot fence
must not have any separation anxiety
spayed OR not at risk of going into a heat cycle during their stay; no females in heat are allowed
neutered OR intact males as long as they meet all of our other requirements & have no aggression issues toward other intact males

We require a 25% non-refundable deposit to reserve boarding dates.

If you are working on training issues, such as basic household manners, coming when called, or leash manners, you may purchase Training Sessions during Boarding. We currently offer Training Sessions during Boarding at 20% off the current rate for Private Training Sessions.
