Group Play – dogs who are social and play well with other dogs can have a blast in our safe and supervised group play sessions. Staff are always present during group play and specifically trained in group dynamics. All dogs participating in group play are required to complete an assessment prior to their stay in order to determine their play style and best fit prior to boarding.
Business Walks – an extra trip to the outdoor elimination areas for our canine friends who prefer additional potty breaks.
Homemade yummy treats – what fun! Delicious, home-made treats to give your pet a great mid-day break.
Kongs and Snuffle Mats – these puzzles are sure to keep your pet busy during their down time. Ask us about our yummy flavor of the day for kongs!
Brain Games – brain games are 15 minute fun games to keep your pet’s mind working! Brain games can be anything from scent work to a positive-reinforcement training session working on a fun new behavior (like a target or a wave!)
Training – our owners hold specific college degrees in Animal Behavior Management and Exotic Animal Training and Management and have worked at world class facilities. Using positive reinforcement techniques we know how to teach your pet and let them have fun doing it! We work on a variety of issues from separation anxiety, jumping, basic obedience, loose leash walking, dog reactivity and more!
