Member since May 2020

We teach basic, intermediate, advanced, certify service/therapy dogs AS Social, grumpy dog daycare, limited overnight boarding, as well as privates, farmers markets socials, & phone consultations.

I teach you how to control your dog off-leash using your positive/negative markers. I teach you how your energy & beliefs affect your dog & how to use that to influence your dog's behaviors.

We help you teach your dog confidence in the things he's scared or unsure of because scary dogs are not happy dogs.

We always social distance for these 7-week classes. Message us for an enrollment form to bring by/send in your deposit to hold your seat in the class. Bring your friends, bring your family.

OUR DAYCARE adds to your dog's knowledge where they learn to socialize with other dogs in a controlled, confident building way. It's like getting 3 wks of classes in one day. $18/day or 2 dogs for $30. $5 cage muzzle rental IF NEEDED.

Where no one else will board your grumpy dog, we do. Your dog will be treated as mine. Inside kennels at night, play in the yard during the day, summer pool, shade, tunnels, DIGGING! Fed 2x day. $2 per meal IF we supply the food or bring your own. And we teach your dog how to overcome their fears of other dogs & other issues... if they bark a lot, insecure... we can help your dog grow. $25/24hrs, $10 over the 24 hrs. $30 for holidays or overbooked. Limited booking so book today!
