Boarding
Training
Basic Obedience
All of our training is geared around pack leadership. Your dog will learn to listen to and respect you. Our training is not based on treats, but lots of body language and consistency. Language dogs understand.
Training Board
Jump Start Program
Consists of one week of training board. Your dog stays with us for one week, in which they learn all of their basics on leash (sit, down, heel, stay, the beginning of come, and the hand signals for sit and down). Along with that they also learn basic manners (no jumping, pulling, barking for no reason, bolting thru doors, etc.). At the end of the week we spend an hour or so with you and as many of your immediate family members who can attend, explaining what you have to do to continue working with the dog. You should plan on 15-20 minutes a day of doing on leash lessons with your dog when you take them home. which includes board and a 1 1/2 hr lesson at the end. *Please note, sessions run from any weekday to the following same weekday, ie. Monday to Monday, Tuesday to Tuesday, etc. End of sessions lessons are not available on weekends or holidays, except in rare cases if available with an additional charge.
- For Week $312.00
Follow Up Training
Any time your dog is here boarding you may have additional training or just a refresher at a daily rate. You can have one day or as many as you want. You may also bring your dog at anytime just for this purpose, even if you aren't going out of town. Cost in addition to board charges. No additional free lesson is available with this follow up. If you need a lesson when you pick up, you must schedule it in advance and there will be a charge for a private lesson.

Private Lessons
At the Kennel
Private lessons for you and your dog together are available at the kennel. The lesson runs from 30 - 45 minutes and is much more intense than your typical group lesson.

In Your Home
Private lessons in your home are available within a 30 minute commute from the kennel. The lesson runs from 30 - 45 minutes and is very intense. Most people using this option have problems at home that aren't resolving with regular lessons. depending on distance, and is only available with advance scheduling.
- Minimum (per lesson) $60.00
Group Lessons
Group lessons are available if there are enough requests to form a group. We typically only do group lessons during acclimate temperatures, as we do them outdoors. We do have a covered training area if it rains, but no heat or A/C in that area. If you would like to request group classes, please let us know and we will try to get a group together that suites your time and training needs. Group lessons run approximately 1 hour, though sometimes go over a little. Cost for group lessons and include 7 lessons total.

Flea Control Trouble
We provide Capstar at $5 per pill for pets that don't have approved flea control.
A few years back there was trouble with the popular flea controls (Frontline and Advantage) not working because the fleas became resistant to them.
It got better for a few years, but the resistant fleas came back a couple years ago, worse than ever. Unfortunately, most of the over the counter flea controls have switched to the active ingredient in Frontline because the patent lifted. So, there aren't a lot of options when you come in contact with these resistant fleas. Several of our customers unknowingly brought these resistant fleas to the kennel in 2012. So, unfortunately, we have found it necessary to start requiring proof of flea controls that work. The only flea controls we know for sure are working are Comfortis, Trifexis, Tritak (the new frontline, must say TRITAK on it), and Advantix for dogs; Revolution or Comfortis for cats. These flea controls all must be obtained at your vet's office or with a prescription online. We now also accept program or sentinel, as long as your dog has been on it long term (it does not kill fleas, but is flea birth control, so will not spread them). We are sorry to make our customers have to do this, but it is costing us personally $350 per month to keep our animals on Comfortis, and we would like to stop the cycle. Thank you for understanding. It is for everyone's benefit.
We Don't Accept
If you are not sure about your flea control, here is a list of known flea controls that we don't accept:
Frontline or Frontline Plus
Advantage
Advantage
Sentry
Fiprogard
Any over the Counter Flea Controls
