Professional Dog Trainer
I’m a certified dog trainer and behaviorist. Owner of Royal dogs Boarding and Training, Inc. Licensed and insured. This is my full time job and I spend 24/7 with dogs. I can do any kind of basic training for your dog while staying. Offering a puppy classes. I work with socialization, basic obedience, anxiety, crate training, puppy training and socialization. We are family style in home boarding, we do not take on any aggression and resource guardian cases at this time. As a dog mom myself, I know the stress of leaving your furkid with someone. While with me you will receive many updates(sometimes too many!) and your pet will be treated like one of my own. Complete with cuddles, kisses, playing, and treats(if allowed). I have a large fully fenced backyard. I have been working with dogs since childhood, teaching and training them. Growing up my mom owned and operated a dog rescue and I helped with the dogs daily. This gave me experience with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and age. Graduated Animal behavior university.

Ratings and reviews
Marina and Kathryn are amazing!! Our dog Ernest can be super finicky, but he LOVES them and had such a great day with them!!
Marina took great care of our cat while we were on vacation. And despite being a shy kitty, we received pictures and videos every day of her playing and asking for more pets - Marina is a cat whisperer!
Excellent! My dog Sofia loved it there. When I dropped her off she just ran off to the yard and gave me the side eye.
My 2-year-old Shih Tzu enjoyed her stay with Marina & Kathryn. I could tell from the daily pictures that they sent me, and by how happy and healthy my puppy was when I picked her up after a 4-day stay. It was also great to hear how well she was able to socialize with other dogs! Thank you!!
My fur babies were well taken care of. They kept me updated with lots of photos. They seem very happy and look like they had a lot of fun . I think they miss Marina. We for sure will be boarding with them. 😊
Experienced boarder, safe environment. Our dogs were tired and happy after a weekend there.

Schedule
I am home all day and spend it playing with and training dogs. I love being outside in my large fenced in yard with the dogs and watching them have a good time. After play and training sessions we go inside to the cool AC for a break and treat. All dogs become apart of my family during their time here. They have multiple kinds of comfy beds and a couch they can lay on in a room dedicated just to them. Some dogs would rather sleep in the living room on the couch, and some sleep in bed with me! I do have multiple size crates that I utilise when an owner asks for their dog to be crated at night, or if here for training. I am flexible, and above all, want your furbaby to feel like this is their home away from home. We enjoy hiking and private pond a couple times a week as well. Dogs are my world and I would love to add yours to it. All my dogs professionally trained and get along with dogs all ages and sizes. They know how to help with socialization.

A typical day
We wake up at 7 am, open the backyard door and let the dogs potty. Then we are going inside, I prepare breakfast for them, each dog in a separate bowl/room. After they have had breakfast, they get to go out and play again. We also play fetch as I have a very large fully fenced backyard. At about 12 noon when the heat comes, we go inside for a nap. The house has air conditioning and dogs can sleep on the sofa, there are also dog beds. During the day I’m home all day and give the dogs a walk every 2 hours. We play fetch around 7pm, followed by dinner and bedtime at 10pm.
