Boarding

I offer limited dog boarding in my home. As a trainer, I'm also equipped to support those who need more than basic supervision, including but not limited to puppies and reactive dogs.

What a typical day looks like

Dogs spend most of the day by my side. Days are structured and engaged - walks and deliberate 1:1 time and enrichment activities are built into routines by default, never extra! 

Targeted day training can be added to reinforce specific skills or work toward new goals. Existing training expectations are maintained by default. 

Looking for something more training intensive? See the Jump Start board-and-train. 

Safety & Requirements

I am

• Licensed and insured

• Pet CPR and first aid certified

To be eligible for boarding, dogs must be:

• Crate-trained and able to settle calmly alone for short periods and overnight

• Current on Rabies, DHPP, and Bordetella vaccines, and on regular flea/tick/parasite prevention

A consultation is required for all new clients.

Not social? No problem.

Dogs are cared for seperately are not placed into forced interactions with people or other dogs (including my own) by default. Introductions are only considered when appropriate and beneficial to both parties. When useful, I may recommend in advance passive exposure—controlled, non-interactive proximity paired with positive reinforcement—to help dogs stay neutral around others.

If a dog needs extra support adjusting, a trial night, private lesson, or day training may be recommended to help them settle in better.
