Availability

*BOARDING AND DAYCARE IS BASED IN CANTON* I wake up in between 4:30 AM - 5:00 AM to getting ready, and check my daycare attendees for the day. I pick up my daycare dogs between 7:20 AM and 7:40 AM. Any boarding dogs will come with me! I get home by 8 AM and the dogs play and socialize until 12:30 PM. All the daycare dogs are dropped off by 12:45 PM - 1:15 PM and I go back home to spend the time with any boarding dogs I have. If there are no dogs boarding, I can offer dog walks in the afternoon!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard that the dog play in through the day. I do training sessions for any dogs attending training, or board and train. We also play / rest inside as needed depending on weather. I take time to ensure all of my dogs are comfortable with each other and only group dogs together that will work together.

Our dog, Finn, has been attending playgroup, training, and boarding with Elden when we’re away, for the past 2 years. Elden also grooms Finn (and does a terrific job!). Elden is extremely responsive and accommodating. Finn loves Elden and I always know Finn is well taken care of with Elden. Elden also makes sure that any dogs that will be together are compatible and safe. Highly recommend Elden for any dog-related services!

Elden from Oak Tree Training is a wonderful dog trainer and caregiver! We have been working with him for the past two years, since our dog was about 8 months old, and we could not be more pleased. Our 85lb golden literally squeaks with joy whenever he sees Elden coming to the house. It's been extremely helpful to have someone who not only helps reinforce the training we've been working on since puppyhood, but who can help us with any new issues or behaviors when they arise. We also very much appreciate Elden's flexibility, and love the fact that our pup is always happily exhausted after attending doggie daycare with Elden.

Elden with Oak Tree Training has trained and cared for my 2 year old Golden Retriever- Roxy- since she was born. Roxy absolutely loves Elden and waits for him at the door every week. Roxy has been to several training weeks with Roxy where she has learned off leash walking, leash walking, basic skills. She doesn't bark and she doesn't jump and many people always comment how well behaved she is and I credit Elden. He helped me when she was a crazy puppy and worked with me and my kids until we got through those rough months. He always uses positive reinforcement and is very kind and gentle with Roxy. She now goes to daycare with Elden one time a week and Elden boards and trains her when we are out of town. He is very reliable, flexible and great to work with. I strongly recommend Elden and Oak Tree Training services.

Elden has been watching our dog Duke since he was a tiny puppy. Elden is Duke’s favorite person on earth and he waits by the door for him to come on his “Elden days.” He’s helped us greatly with leash training and other dog trainings. Duke stays with Elden whenever we are away and we have such peace of mind that we know Duke is so happy (and likely won’t even want to come home when we get back!). He also recently started grooming. Elden is your all in one solution to all your dog needs! We are happy to be a reference for him any time.
