Dog Trainer & Animal Behaviorist

Pet care experience

My name is Anthony, I'm a retired USAF K9 trainer/handler & current service dog trainer. I started working with dogs for the US Air Force, training German Shepards & Belgian Malinois for explosive detection, narcotics detection, police tactics, and more. After a decade of service, an on-duty injury forced me out of service & I transitioned to training dogs and their veteran owners for service dog certification through various non-profit organizations. Over the years I've gotten the opportunity to work with all different breeds & temperaments, and the biggest thing I've learned is that each dog is special. We don't just board dogs here, we educate owners, supervise group playtime, enrich mealtime, provide training tips, address pet anxiety & structure positive socialization.

We had a great experience with overnight boarding with Anthony. He watched our dog for a week, was very communicative & sent photos regularly. My pup came back happy & well fed, which is amazing since he is prone to hunger striking. You can tell his heart is in this business, he treated my pup with care and respect, even hand feeding him to form a bond. Anthony has amazing levels of experience with training & behavior, I highly recommend him for any pet parent who may be hesitant about boarding. We will definitely be a repeat client. Thanks again Anthony!

It’s all about trust right, and after interviewing several people I found Anthony. My English Labrador loved him and I left her knowing that Anthony was going to give her the best care possible. He really knows and understands dogs. I won’t hesitate to have Anthony board her again. Thank you Anthony !!

I can leave my “boys” (one senior and one puppy) with Anthony, and I know they are exceptionally well taken care of… the extra instruction, information for me has been just invaluable.

First thing in the morning we're up for some individual playtime before breakfast begins. A good play session can really work up an appetite, even for the most anxious of pups. Then it's time to eat. Meals here are interactive! Whether it's hand-feeding, maze bowls, lick mats, or puzzle games, your pup will be looking forward to breakfast & dinner. We always encourage owners to bring their pets some wet food or gravy packets to make food more enjoyable. Then it's outside for either some exercise, walks around the neighborhood, or structured playtime. All pets are temperament tested prior to meeting new friends and group play is always supervised at all times. Even anxious pups can participate with our outdoor training kennels to help them gain some confidence among their peers and learn some social skills. In the afternoon we wind down with small playgroups in our indoor kennel room. Temperature-controlled, astroturf floors & completely surrounded by a jungle aesthetic decor with low lighting, music & lavender humidifiers. Guaranteed to promote a peaceful stay for as long as needed.
