Professional Dog Trainer

Pet care experience

I’m a certified dog trainer and behaviorist and owner of Royal Dogs Boarding & Training, Inc. Fully 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.

Marina and Kathryn were so helpful in caring for Luna. They let me kniw how she did in an unfamiliar environment with unfamiliar people and dogs. They made alot of great suggestions for her training and socialization. I really trust them to provide sensitive and educated care.

We were so nervous about leaving Liam for the first time, but the second I left their driveway, we already got our first photo updates. He was having the best time. We were updated throughout his stay with videos and photos and training updates. We could not be happier. Booking again!!

Marina and Kathryn were exceptionally kind. It was the first time I had left Oliver with someone who wasn't family. However, he returned home very happy and with new friends. My family and I are very pleased with Marina and Kathryn for hosting Oliver as their guest.

We are so happy we found Marina to watch our doggy. We actually call her place dog Vegas, and I don’t think our pup ever wants to leave! She sends tons of pictures and videos, and it is clear that all doggies are treated wonderfully and have an absolute blast while they are there! Would absolutely recommend!

Information Marina & Kathryn T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog have special needs or attention or extra exercise. I like a high energy dogs and enjoy to train and exercise them. I have a private pond right behind my house and can take your dog for swim and run.

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.

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.
