Keep pets Together! Private Kennel!
Pet care experience
WALKS walks always include 10 min to prep dog for walk, 30 minutes of active walking (options for me time available), and 10-15 min of cool down/settle in after the walk. Also, you can choose to send your more curious pups on a field trip! We can explore many hiking trails and nature reserves depending on your locations so message me for more details if you are interested! BOARDING I have been training dogs and coaching cat owners for 7 years. My home had a beautiful suite that was never getting much love so we have fully converted in into a dog-proof and cat-approved Training and Boarding area. I pride myself on caring for your dog with as much love as you do. Prior to boarding we will discuss bedding options, furniture options, and feeding routines. All pets will have access to a TV when alone to help with anxiety, kenneling will be based on their home situation (anywhere from kenneled in size appropriate wire kennel to having rein of the entire training studio). We have 2 cats on site but you can choose how much (or little) interaction you prefer! Also optional, If pets are well trained on Electronic pet containment OR will be boarded here for more than 1 week, we can provide 2 acres of exercise space (including wooded areas to sniff and explore!) using our Invisible Fence system. Otherwise, daily romps around the yard on a secure 20ft lead will be provided multiple times during the day with options to explore to woods or go for a walk around the block by request.

Safety, trust & environment
During walks and hikes dogs will remained securely leashed in owner-provided harness (please no neck collars for walking). During boarding, dogs have the option to use the Invisible Fence system so they can romp around our 2 acre country property. Or we can use a 20 ft lead to go on regular walks/potty breaks around the yard (3-8 times per day depending on the pet). Indoors, pets have a 2 room suite to explore with an option 3rd room that is designed to feel more like home with carpet, a couch, safely mounted tv (usually playing classic disney movies) and premium chew toys to help relieve even more stress.
Home
Information Jenni W. would like to know about your pet
EVERYTHING! Or as much as you want to share. I don't have breed preferences or age requirements. Knowing what type of bed your dog like (a raised cot or a plush pillow or a couch!), how they take their meals (and if they have allergies or intolerance), and what kind of toys they enjoy most help set up the Suite to meet their needs. For cats, I understand they have their own personalities and may never fully warm up to me. I usually like to provide both high and low bedding as well as south facing window seats and plenty of bird watching with nearby feeder.
A typical day
As a trainer, I have a hard time NOT training dogs I encounter. You dog will most likely come home with a new trick to show you! We live in a quite neighborhood so if your friend loves walking the block or even visiting the neighborhood kids, we've got you covered! If leashes aren't their thing, we have a wooded acre fenced using Invisible Fence they can chase critters or sniff out the last dog to visit.

Availability
Before I began staying home fulltime with my son, I was a full-time dog trainer. I am taking on limited clients so I can maintain the high quality of service while still keeping a healthy work-life balance. When pets on in boarding they have my full attention. Our attached suite allows for me to constantly check in on pets and give them some love and play. If pets are allowed (per your customized boarding plan), they will be brought into the main house for extra cuddles and playtime.
