Dogs are in every part of my life and I understand how important it is to be sure that your dog is safe and happy while you are away. I do my best to treat your dog the way I would want my dogs to be treated if I was to board them. My kennel is a remodeled state of the art horse barn, it’s fully insulated and heated. On top of it I have a fully insulated and heated dog room with a dog wash for extra cold days or dirty pups. My huge barn provides great opportunity for indoor socialization and activities on heavy rain days. My 9 acre property has multiple fenced yards and a direct access to hundreds of miles of hiking trails (please check prior to booking for requirements for going on hikes), it is truly a dog heaven. I am able to provide a true PNW experience for active pups and plenty or rest and care for lower energy or older ones. Your pet will be sound asleep as soon as he/she gets home from running around on the farm and they will be happy to come back here for more fun. For me living with and taking care of/training dogs is not a hobby it's a lifestyle. I have been successfully competing in AKC field trials with my dogs for 15 years, and I understand the exercise and engagement requirements of dogs of all ages. Dogs in my care are never left unattended when out in the yard, and I only take a limited amount of dogs to avoid overcrowding. I can do basic grooming like nail clipping, ear cleaning and basic pet haircuts as long as the dog is willing to cooperate. My dogs are raw fed so I'm able to accommodate raw diet. Meet and greet is required for all new clients at least 2 days prior to boarding.
