If a dog struggles to acclimate, they’ll be cared for in a quiet boarding area and given gentle one-on-one attention until they’re comfortable.
*We are currently taking puppies for a “pup start” day care, please call for details. We hope to have atleast a few puppies around the same age and size for each specific play group!
Train While They Stay
Turn your dog’s boarding stay into a learning experience! Our certified trainers provide personalized lessons during their daily routine.
From basic obedience to confidence-building, each session reinforces good habits so your pup returns home happier, calmer, and better behaved.
