We sure do! Our enrichment focused boarding services are perfect for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Each day our guests are offered adventures (ex. nature walks, river swims), activities (agility/obstacle course work, time in the scent room), and group play or 1-1 play. We believe that fulfilled dogs are happy dogs and happy dogs are our specialty.
Most of our services are all inclusive, but we also offer some basic upgrades to boarding such as basic training, intentional socialization, specialty treats or activities upon request.

Because no two dogs (or their humans) are the same we focus on the nuances of training while formulating customized plans to meet the needs and expectations of both dogs and handlers. The value of great training is beyond customized training plans which has become the industry standard "selling point". Our programs offer a combination of private training sessions, group classes, group outings, boarding with enrichment and upgraded training, live-in training (Board & Train) as well as an online classroom and an interactive social community full of training and behavior resources.

Heather is a wonderful trainer! She listens to your goals and observes what your dog needs to be successful. She gave lots of ideas on how to make training fun and encouraging for my pup. The activities she encouraged me to try at home helped with maintaining positive behavior and reducing puppy biting and jumping. She was always patient and saw areas of improvement. I would absolutely recommend Long Dog Inc. for puppy training.

Top Tier training service run by a professional that is completely dedicated to improving relationships between dogs and their family owners. I feel our time working with Heather has been as much training us to be proper handlers and it is to understand our pet.

We recently had our first session with our 8th month pup, Zoey, and we are already seeing results. The trainer was incredibly knowledgeable and patient, teaching us valuable techniques that we can implement every day. We also took our other dog, Oakley, for a few sessions, and he has been doing really well since. Overall, we've learned a lot from the trainer and will continue to use her services.
Highly recommend!

Still singing Heather's praises after 4 sessions with our Gracie. One of the most powerful take aways is how much Heather truly understands our dog's disposition and has helped me to guide her gently, appropriately and towards her unique "dog" bent. Looking forward to many happy years with this new beginning and much much needed help!!!!

Heather is amazing at what she does and we couldn’t be happier with how she’s helped us with our dog. We have a 4 year old Great Pyrenees, and we were so impressed with how Heather just *gets* him. Within minutes of our first lesson it was clear how knowledgeable she is. She doesn’t have a one size fits all approach and really considered everything about our dog- his breed, his temperament, his triggers, his behaviors- to make sure everything we worked on was catered to our specific dog and situation. We did a five session bundle and after just one lesson my husband and I knew it was worth every penny. In our five lessons we learned so much and it’s really been life changing to be able to handle our dog in situations that used to be really challenging. We definitely plan to book more lessons to continue learning and growing with our dog. Can’t recommend her enough for any of your dog training needs!
