Dog trainer 🐾Your dogs fave resort

Pet care experience

Dogs are my life and passion, I have been working with dogs my whole life, no matter the breed, age, special needs, size we do it all! I am a certified Master Dog Trainer, I recently graduated from Highland Canine. I also graduated from AK9I as a K9 handler, I do this full time with my wife, Mara, who is also experienced. I have worked at two different board and train places here in the past and am very confident that what I am able to offer here is much better quality! Every dog that comes through our doors becomes part of our pack, we will treat your pets like they are family. When I am with a dog for boarding or training we are giving each other a lot of attention and energy and will stay engaged and active providing a loving and personalized experience for your furry friends. WE DO NOT just crate them 21 hours a day! Your pups safety and well being will always be our number one priority! We will always do slow and safe introductions, your dog will never be left unsupervised. We use top of the line cleaning and sanitation for our yard, carpets, toys, bowls, and surfaces, and things of all type. Our goal is to provide a safe and loving environment for your pet! We also offer doggy daycares and socialization groups for dogs at all stages. We believe socialization is extremely important for a dogs development and happiness.

I’m currently watching a friend’s Belgian mal and I have a GSD mix of my own. I was extremely relieved to have found someone who is experienced with working dogs! Will definitely be contacting him again in the future if he’d be willing to put up with these 2 crazy pups again 🙏 thank you Clayton!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I can’t recommend Clayton & his wife enough! They took amazing care of my dog Rocket while we were away. They sent plenty of pictures and kept us updated the whole time, which gave us so much peace of mind. Rocket looked so happy and comfortable, and it was clear he was in great hands. I also loved that they dressed him up for the 4th of July — it was so stinking CUTE! Thank you for treating him like your own!” You guys gained a Forever Customer! Thank you again

We had an absolutely amazing experience with Clayton as our dog sitter! From the very beginning, he made our dogs feel like part of his own family. He was outstanding—going above and beyond to make sure they were not only well cared for, but truly loved. He sent us regular updates and the sweetest pictures, which gave us so much peace of mind. It was clear they were happy, comfortable, and having a great time. Because of him, we were able to fully enjoy our vacation without a single worry. We came home to relaxed, well-loved pups and couldn’t be more grateful. Clayton is kind, responsible, and clearly has a special way with animals. We’d recommend him in a heartbeat!

If your dog has any special needs or aggression I will need to know about that as well as if you are trying to train the dog anything or reinforce behaviors. Any medications etc

We have a huge fenced in backyard, with agility, doggy pool and a shade tent! We love to stay active and engaged outside and provide amenities that will keep your pup safe in the summer heat. We can do walks with your dog, we live in a wonderful neighborhood to do so, we have a million dog toys to play fetch with or tug with! Again we are a very active family and know the importance of getting your dog exercise, we also have toys for mental stimulation such as puzzle games! And if you’re okay with it we love making our guests their own special pup cup.
