KAREN K9 BOARDING AND TRAINING

Pet care experience

I offer boarding, daycare, private training/consults, behavior evaluations, reinforcement of dog's previous training and board and train weekly stays emphasizing family dog training, manners, behavioral issues and socialization. Small scale boarding so your dog receives more individual attention. Social boarding, training and daycare with other well mannered canines. Daily walks, exercise, hikes ,bath/brush, or day trips, are always all-inclusive! Daily communication, pics ,text, so you know what your dog is doing or how he is progressing. Dogs have access to a large secure backyard and inside during the day to rest or interact. Inside in the evening. Dogs are part of our family. Manners and rules enforced. **There will be an additional daily cost for dogs over 6 mo that are not house trained, dogs under 1 yr, special needs dogs, medical care/ supervision, dogs over 80 lbs, accepted dogs over 6mo that are not spayed or neutered, the very elderly, dogs that need high supervision and dogs with behavioral issues.** *We have breed restrictions. I am home full time with your pet . They may come with me if I need to run a quick errand or stay with my husband if home. Very rarely would they be left alone. Pets have access to large secure backyard with 8ft fencing. They are part of our family during their stay. At bedtime dogs sleep where they want on many available beds or their own, sometimes..... with us, or in crate in our room if needed.

Karen took excellent care of our pup. I highly recommend her and wouldn’t hesitate to use her services again. I loved all the pictures and updates during Pepper’s stay! I could tell Karen was very experienced and felt extremely confident that pepper was in good hands!

Karen K9 was patient and professional and very attentive! She reports everyday with text's and pictures which made us feel connected. Karen even took Pepper to the beach for the first time! Pepper enjoyed daily walks.

We had Karen take care of our two dogs over the weekend. They had a great time and I knew they were well cared for. I appreciated Karen’s attention to detail and her communication with us while caring for our dogs. I would not hesitate to have her care for our dogs again.

Karen is a knowledgeable and kind dog trainer. She gave many updates and I knew my pup was in great hands. She understands dog behavior well enough to give each dog an excellent experience that will reduce their stress and leave them very happy :) Baylee loved her stay.
