Positive reinforcement Behaviorist

Pet care experience

With over 8 years of full time dog boarding and daycare experience as well as professional service dog training from Bergin University and the Academy for Dog Trainers, we are able to provide a great, social environment for your favorite furbaby! Guests are ALWAYS under the direct supervision of a professional trainer so there is no bullying, barking, begging or otherwise inappropriate behavior. We focus on using rewards based techniques and utilize crates and baby gates for the occasional short-term timeout. Unlike other kennels and boarding facilities, we are able to offer a unique and unparalleled positive boarding experience that closely mimics life in your home: guests nap inside on comfortable dog beds, play together in our large, secure backyard, and sleep with us in our bedroom at night. We look to hear from you soon regarding your boarding or doggie daycare needs! OUR AVAILABILITY: On weekdays we are available on weekdays from 7am until 6pm. **Please note that we are available until noon on Weekends for pickups and dropoffs**, thank you for your understanding. Guests are always under the direct supervision of a professional and playgroups are managed by making sure every dog is comfortable and happy with each other.

We did a daycare trial with Alex and he was really great. We would love to bring Koda back. Thanks for all of your feedback for our pup and all of your care!

We have a shy and homebody dog, and leaving her for extended periods always stresses us out. Thankfully, we found Alex, and after a meeting and an overnight trial, we decided to trust Alex to take care of our furry friend while we traveled Europe for two weeks. It turned out to be an amazing experience! Alex truly understood our dog's unique needs and handled them with care. Since we've returned home, we've noticed that our dog seems to be in a much better place than before. We highly recommend Alex for anyone looking for a reliable and understanding pet sitter!

We had a WONDERFUL experience with Alex. Our dog Rosie came back very happy. We will definitely use Alex again when we go out of town.

Plato had an excellent stay with Alex. We had reports from Alex about him while we were gone and a good review when we returned. Plato seemed to enjoy being with the other dogs in the house. He is old, but he managed to get some good play time. Our trip was a last-minute emergency, and we were very glad that Alex had a spot for Plato.
