IN-HOME BOARDING
First and foremost... WE ARE
NOT A BOARDING FACILITY!
This is our home. When your dog stays with us
they become a part of our family. Because of this, we only allow
a limited number of dogs to stay with us at one time. Your dog will sleep in its own indoor pen or crate at
night, and have full access to our park-like backyard multiple times
throughout the day, as well as a chance to play with the other social
sleep-over guests (and our 3 dogs). Your dog will be kept on the same
feeding schedule that you already have them on. They will be put back
in their pens throughout the day for "nap time". Since there is always
someone home, your dog will receive plenty of love and attention also.
They will be tended to by a Professional Dog Trainer and a Certified
Veterinary Technician during their stay.
Regular Boarding Facilities
Some things to keep in mind when checking out a
regular boarding facility (remember, we are not a boarding facility).
Most boarding facilities start you out at a low
base rate and charge you extra for playtime, potty-breaks, dog walks,
administering medications, and so on. Some places even charge you
extra to feed your dog its own food! If you forgo those extra
luxuries, then your dog may spend 23 hours alone in a concrete
kennel where it is forced to urinate and defecate in its own sleeping
area. This adds to the stress your dog is already going through.
Couple that with the constant barking in a regular facility, it is no
wonder most dogs tear up the concrete when it's time to go home. And
should you want to call and check up on your pup, we'll be able to
tell you exactly how they are doing. Try calling a commercial boarding
facility and asking how your dog is doing. I doubt the receptionist
who answers the phone will even know your dog's name.
We
charge a flat rate which includes all the luxuries listed above.
Because we only take in a limited number of dogs we are able to give your
dog far more attention and play time than you could ever buy at a
regular facility. There is no extra charge for administering
medications or feeding your dog to your exact specifications. Since
this is our home, we are able to provide around-the-clock
companionship and can get them to a nearby Veterinary
hospital should an emergency arise.
Another
benefit we have over the other facilities is that we only take in
socialized dogs. Our primary clients are our students who are given
the link to this webpage. These are dogs that we know and train, and
who know the trainer also. That relationship makes for a more
comfortable stay while they are in our care. We do not advertise this
to the general public because we don't want every dog to stay with us,
just the good ones. This enables us to let the dogs spend more time
outside. We give the dogs plenty of supervised play time with each
other. Of course, we will also give them isolated play time should you
request it.
Sleepover Rates
$40 per night for the
first dog and $20 for every additional dog from the same home.
For your convenience
we provide a
pick-up and drop-off service for $15 each way (for homes North of the
101).
Why do we charge
what we do? Fair question.
A lot goes into
boarding a dog in our home. We devote a tremendous amount of our time
making sure that your dog has a stress-free stay while they are with
us. This means we take them out 8 to 10 times a day (approx
every 1.5 to 2 hours) and play with them until they are exhausted
(playtime varies with the weather of course). We feed
them on the schedule that you set for us. We also makes sure their
sleeping pens are cleaned and sanitized daily. Most dogs that
stay with us receive more attention and play time than they normally
would at home.
Your dog's day will
usually start between 6:30 and 7:00 a.m., when they will go out for
their first potty- break. They'll have breakfast around 7:30. They
will get to go back out at 8:00 and again at 9:00 a.m. Playtime
will be approximately every 1.5 to 2 hours thereafter. The last trip
outside will be between 10:00 and 10:30 p.m.
The Rules
We require your dogs
to be current on their vaccinations which include: DHLPP, Rabies, and
Bordetella. Be prepared to give us a copy of their vaccine history
when you drop your dog off, or you can always call ahead and fax them
to us. Remember, this is our home, we don't want any disease in it.
Female dogs in heat
will not be allowed to stay with us.
Aggressive dogs (both
human and dog aggressive) are not allowed to stay with us.
During the holidays
we require payment in advance to ensure your reservation.

with us, please print out the following form, fill it out, and bring
it with you .
