Information Carol & Brian D. would like to know about your pet

Carol has the training, experience, and premises to handle some of the more difficult situations. The pet parents will need to inform her about the existing issues and those they would like assistance with, and she will discuss with you the best approach to address any behavioral issues. We also request a list of anything allowed or not allowed regarding food, sleeping arrangements, toys, etc.

A typical day

Our daily schedule is tailored to the needs of the animals in our care. For those here for training, sessions will take place throughout the day, with several specific times set aside to address the training needs. For those which enjoy walks, we go to parks/reservoirs/mountain trails, etc. If they enjoy playing with toys or playing fetch, we have a great 1/2 acre yard for that. If they prefer to lie by your feet when you work, we allow them to do that.

Board/Daycare Trainer/Behaviorist

Pet care experience

Carol is the professional dog trainer specializing in Reactive Aggressive Dogs. She made it her mission to find the solution for her dog, and as a result, she now has an extensive "toolbox" of training techniques. The main tools are love and treats but sometimes discipline and/or consequences are needed. Dogs love to please, and she loves to help on that path to happiness. Carol is the owner of a 56,000-member dog Facebook group. Carol & Brian both work from home and have years of experience with pets. They want you and your pet to feel like a stay with them is like a family camp where they can play in the big grassy yard, wrestle in the house and lounge on the couch or cool floor. They are very capable dog walkers and caregivers. They provide regular photo updates, and you can inquire at any time. Clients love that they offer flexible drop-off and pick-up times.

I had such a great experience with Carol and Brian. They took Fatty in on very short notice which I truly appreciated. He was clearly well cared for and came home happy and tired, which was always a great sign. During the visits we received several photos. Responses were very prompt in which gave me peace of mine while I was away. I'm so thankful I have found them and definitely will be using them again the next time we visit Walla Walla highly recommend.

Fantastic experience! Carol and Brian were very accommodating of a short notice request. I felt very comfortable leaving bobbin with them. They sent lots of photo updates and bobbin had a lot of fun playing while he was with them. I picked up a very happy and tired dog. Thanks!

I had a great experience with them! They sent lots of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which gave me so much peace of mind. Leo had an amazing time playing with the other dogs and came home happy and tired. I would absolutely book with them again!

Carol does a great job with caring for Luna. She communicates how Luna is doing and sends pictures. She is thoughtful and kind in her care of my pet.
