There are restrictions on what types of dogs we can accept to ensure our safety and the safety of all the animals in our care. Most dogs are eligible to participate in board and train programs but we are not able to accept dogs with the history of the following:
- Aggressive behaviors towards humans that prevents them from being leashed, fed, and put in and out of a crate.
- Confinement and/or separation anxiety.
- Dogs with a history of breaking out of kennels, jumping fences/gates.
- Dogs with a chance of having any contagious illness including but not limited to Giardia or other intestinal parasites, kennel cough, mange, parvo, fleas, etc.
Owner involvement is required. You must be willing to follow your trainer's instructions to maintain your dog's training. Your investment will not be worthwhile if you are not willing to adjust your lifestyle based on your trainer's recommendations. Email support is available for your dog's lifetime after your program is completed. Refunds are not given if your dog has finished a program. Finished, meaning they stayed for the full length of the agreed upon program. See full service agreement below for more information.
Training and behavior modification cannot be guaranteed. There are many factors that go into a dog's success including your ability to replicate the training skills taught during your dog's stay. What we can promise is that we will provide the best training we can and support you and your dog throughout their transition back home!
We have experience with raw feeding and accept limited vaccinations/titers as well as intact dogs at any age. If you have a bitch in season or you think they will be coming into season during their stay, we must be notified so all efforts to avoid interaction with intact males are made. It is highly recommended but not required that your dog be on some form of flea/tick preventative.
Please do not send along personal belongings besides your dog's collar, leash, food, and any medication or supplements they might need. You do not need to supply a crate.

BOARDING POLICIES
Boarding is charged per day your dog is in our home, not per night. Once you've decided to book boarding with us, a 10% deposit is required to hold your reservation. This is applied to your total bill and is non-refundable unless you cancel your reservation three weeks or longer prior to your dog's stay. Reservations must be confirmed and all payments made at least a week (7 calendar days) in advance. If boarding is not confirmed, paid for in full, or a request is sent in with less than a week notice, there will be an additional $20 per day for your dog's stay.
Refunds are not given if your dog stayed for the full length of your original reservation.
Please do not send personal items except for collar/harness, leash, food, and any medications. We are not responsible if additional items sent with your dog are damaged.
