Stay and play or board and train!!

Pet care experience

If you are interested in enrolling your dog in our board and train program, search Accomplished Canine Dog Training to contact us Hi, I'm Laura. I am a dog trainer, I also work at a dog park. I own three dogs. Avalanche: 9yo Husky Mix, Yeti: 2 year old Husky, and Otis 2yo Aussie. My boyfriend, Sam, grew up with australian shepherds and works from home. Our dogs are rarely alone more than a few hours. We live in a house with a large fenced in backyard (about 6,000sq ft). My house is set up for dogs; all the furniture is dog-friendly and I dog-proof every time I leave. I love dogs and wish I could adopt more, but three permanent dogs is enough right now, but we would love a temporary family member! If your dog high energy? Love to chase, wrestle, play? The boys would love another friend to play with. More of a napper? Avalanche will save your pup some space on the couch. Training can be added to boarding and potentially daycare. We have a variety of dog puzzles to keep your pup mental enriched in addition to physical exercise. We also have a dog washing station and can bathe your dog prior to pick up.

A few weeks after getting a puppy, I had to go out of town due to a family emergency. I was so anxious about leaving my puppy with a stranger. So happy I found Laura, she has a lot of experience with dogs, especially puppies from being a dog trainer with Petco at the time she watched my puppy. She sent me lots of photos which helped me feel much better. She even gave my puppy a bath so she was so cleaned and smelled great when I picked her up. She has watched Daisy a few times since then, I never have to worry knowing she's in such good hands.

Laura was incredible!! She is very knowledgeable and has a genuine love for animals. Communication was a breeze; she responded quickly and always sent me pictures of my pup without being asked. Her three dogs kept my energetic husky entertained beyond belief; she had the time of her life! I would recommend Laura to anyone and I would love to have her sit for me again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in yard, dogs eat in different rooms, have multiple crates if necessary. I am a dog trainer and have training in reading dogs' body language to know if they are feeling comfortable in a situation, I previously had a dog with epilepsy so I am used to giving pills orally on a schedule. We do not require dogs to be spayed or neutered but we do want them UTD on shots and flea/tick/heartworm meds.

Information Laura S. would like to know about your pet

Love all dogs. Great with large size dogs and fine with any age. Most important thing to me is that your dog is not aggressive. Visiting dog(s) always fed separately but should not be territorial or having guarding behavior due to me having dogs.

A typical day

We wake up around 6 or 7 and let the dogs out to potty and run around in the backyard. They like to work up an appetite before breakfast around 9. They love to be outside as much as possible. They get dinner around 6 and love to play outside till bedtime. We typically go to bed around 10 or 11 and the dogs sleep in the bedroom or living room.

I work at BrewHound but my boyfriend works from home, our dogs are rarely home alone for more than a few hours. We play with our dogs in the backyard or take them for long walks around dusk and dawn. In the heat of summer we'll take them over to brewhound to splash around, in the fall/winter we will take them hiking. We are well versed in the needs of young or high energy breeds.
