We treat your dog like family.
Pet care experience
I have been caring for animals of all kinds since I was a teenager and expanded that out to include wildlife rehabilitation, vet tech work and dog training. Our premium services offer loads of interaction with not only dogs but socialization to new things in their surroundings, we support basic manners and quickly redirect destructive activities into more positive and fun behaviors (digging, as an example). You can check in on your dog at any time with our play yad camera and kennel camera coming soon. I even offer some training options if you want a behavior(s) worked with. I keep your dog in my home with my animals as you would in your home. They are socialized, played with, exercised and allowed to be part of daily activities inside the home, not kept in a kennel away from interaction. I can keep dogs separated if needed but prefer to include them in my day as I do my own dogs.
Reviews
We were so delighted with the care and training that our girls had during their day with Jenn. She really understands dogs and their behavior and was careful to give our rambunctious puppy and slightly nervous older dog what they needed to be happy. We will definitely look forward to another visit there!
Jenn is amazing with all animal but she has a special way with dogs and horses. She had my dog for training for several months and when we got her back she was sad to leave but happy to be home. Jen loves animals and it shows with how she handles her own animals and how my dogs love seeing her when she is around they are in her care.

I have a fenced in yard with two pups that love to meet and interact with new friends. They are high energy dogs so your pups are sure to be exercised well and have lots of fun with my crew. You can check in on your dog through buy play yard and l kennel camera. Your dogs will have ample house hold and socialization time as I keep your dogs with mine. They get to wonder the house and be a family dog here too. It is vital you are honest with me and yourself about your dog's tolerance of people, dogs, counter surfing, etc.

Information Jennifer M. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any issues with other dogs, people, cats, etc. before booking your time. I can accommodate dogs that aren't social safely but prefer to know this ahead of time. Be honest with me and yourself about your dog's limits. Make sure to have all the veterinary information, vaccine records including Bordetella ( Kennel Cough) medication instructions, feeding, insulin doses etc.clearly defined when we speak about your dogs special needs.
A typical day
A typical day with me means up early, outside for potty break, breakfast and quiet time while I have coffee and breakfast. Boarders will get walks, ball tosses or treadmill time depending on the weather. Training client - dogs have two 5-15 minutes training sessions depending on the age of the dog. Lunch will be quiet time and cuddles before heading out for more walks, playtime and socialization. Training clients will have a second set of training sessions in the afternoon. Rest and house manners until dinner. Dinner is followed by 2 more training sessions for training clients or cuddles and house manners for boarders while we watch a movie. Saturdays are pack walks at nearby trails. I encourage all board and train clients to make an appointment to work with me and their dogs to check in on progress and visit with their dogs. No training for dogs on Saturday mid-afternoon or Sundays, I am working my dogs with trainers. Don't worry, . I'm not gone for more than 3 hours, usually 2 for my dog training on these days. It's also not a regular weekend meet. At most, every other weekend.
