Your Dog’s Stay

We are looking forward to your dog’s stay with us! You have made an excellent choice.

While your dog is with us, we offer training and behavioral modification services baked directly into their stay. Every guest receives a complete behavioral evaluation and command audit at no additional charge.

To give your dog the most productive stay possible, we need to know how to speak their language. The words you use at home are the words we will use here. Consistency across environments is how dogs learn fastest. If you say “settle” and we say “down,” your dog works twice as hard for half the clarity.

This form collects your dog’s vocabulary, any behaviors you would like us to address and begin using positive reinforcement to shape.
