Katy’s Puppy Palace 🏰

Se habla español. 会说中文。 🐾 I have 7 years of experience working with and training dogs, including puppies, seniors, and dogs with a wide variety of personalities and needs. I previously worked at a dog daycare, training, and boarding facility, which gave me experience handling many different breeds, sizes, and play styles. My property has plenty of room for dogs to run, play, and explore. I also have a fenced front yard that provides an extra layer of security for those dogs who might be tempted to sneak through an open front door! Training and enrichment are part of everyday life here. 💕 I provide a little complimentary training and reinforcement for the dogs in my care. Depending on the dog, we may work on: • Sit, down, and down-stays • Place and settling • Leash skills and heel • Respecting doors and thresholds • Fetch and tug • Engagement and impulse control Depending on each dog’s age, fitness level, and interests, activities may also include group dog jogs, walks, supervised play, fetch, tug, training games, and practicing calm settling. I believe training gives dogs more freedom, provides mental and physical enrichment, and helps build better relationships between dogs and their people. I also pay close attention to dog behavior, body language, and healthy play. Playtime is supervised so dogs can have fun without anyone being bullied or continually bothered. Dogs who want a break are given the opportunity to rest and settle. I regularly work with training clients and also offer board-and-train services from my home. Because dogs may be sharing space and activities with other dogs, I am currently able to accept friendly, well-socialized dogs who are comfortable around other dogs. I’m always happy to share training observations and suggestions with owners who are interested!

My 2 year old Great Dane puppy had a blast being a part of Katy’s pack for 6 days. Her communication was great and she sent lots of updates. They worked on basic commands and he got lots of cuddles. This was the longest I’ve left my pup in someone else’s care and it went far better than expected.

Thanks so much for watching Appa for over a week. She got some great socialization with the other dogs, some pool experience (not a water dog), daily jogs and instruction (such as working with her on "Place"). It was super helpful to be able to enjoy ourselves without worrying about her, and we loved all the pics and videos. Much appreciated!

Katy exceeded our expectations when taking care of our boy during our wedding weekend! She periodically shared video and photo updates of him, which gave us peace of mind during an already stressful time. She did some training sessions as well and gave us advice on improving our problem areas. He came home happy and well taken care of. I would 100% recommend her for any of your needs!

I cannot speak highly enough of Katy. She is a secret that you want to keep to yourself, but can't help but to tell everyone how amazing she is. While she boarding our dog she also exposed him to swimming, which he hasn't had previously. I could've sworn there was a tear in his eye when he left.lol

Grover always has the best time at Katy’s! She is my go to sitter when I’m in the area. She keeps me informed and is attentive to my pup’s needs.

Let me know how well your fur baby usually gets along with other dogs. Do they show any anxiety being away from you? Any marking in new environments? Any allergies to certain treat ingredients? Any problem behaviors you need help training?
