Congrats!!! You’ve made it this far! I am an animal lover all around! My son and I have 3 seniors and one 4yr old service dog. We are no stranger to any type of behavioural issues you may have! I am working towards a sanctuary/rescue boarding facility! If you are looking to add an addition to your family, let me know! I like to think that my family and I don't offer just a boarding service, but a vacation time to our furry friend. If we go on vacation they can too!! I am a pet lover, I like them all in colour, shapes and personalities.

Safety, trust & environment

Over the past 20 years, I have been highly active in rescue. Doing so I have learned much about myself but more about dogs. I have taken many training courses as well as attended many seminars with different type of training techniques. I personally know how hard it is to find a place you know and trust. Our first priority is safety. I believe in positive reinforcement training for dogs of all behavioural levels and breeds. We welcome dogs with issues from fear, aggression, prey drive, dogs with issues walking, xlarge breeds, pack walks, and of course balanced dogs too! .

Information Dana G. would like to know about your pet

Is your dog/dogs crate trained? Does you pup have and behaviour issues to be aware of? Does your dog have any allergies? Is there any training tips you are looking for help with?

A typical day

Morning- Everyone goes out one by one, to make sure everyone's poops are a-OK. Feeding- Everyone gets fed separately, to avoid guarding and allergy issues. (unless they need a buddy to encourage them to eat) 100% access to water. Rest- Before everyone gets too ramped up, we give time to digest some food! Walks/Play groups- All pups get their first walk of the day, and off leash play groups (if permitted) in a fully fenced yard area(weather permitting). Relax time- All dogs are given ample "chill out time" between play times More play time- Every day is different, from mind games to treat training to treadmill work. Dinner- Same rules as breakfast. As well if a dog needs lunch they will receive it at the correct time. Digest time before evening walks. Walks- Pee/poop before bed. Sleep- Every dog will be separated from each other(unless from the same household) for safety reasons. All dogs are placed where they are the most comfortable. Whether it is in a crate/room/or in bed with one of us. All visitors will get at least two walks per day(weather permitting). All schedules can change, depending on each individual dog.

This was the first time leaving our dogs in someone else's care, so we were a bit nervous about it. Dana's knowledge and experience made us feel comfortable. She's very caring and committed and knows how to make the dogs feel safe and loved. Our dogs really bonded with her. Communication was great, she sent lots of updates, pictures and videos which was very reassuring. We're already making plans to book her again soon!

Dana took great care of my puppy. She is very kind, helpful, and goes the extra mile. I received pictures and updates. Definitely will book again, without hesitation.

We left our dog in Dana’s care and he came home happy, energetic, and clearly well looked after. Thank you for taking such good care of him, Dana. We look forward to bringing him again when we need someone we trust :)
