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.
If you'd like more information about our training programs, book a free phone consultation at www.longdoginc.as.me/PHONE. Here we'll dive into your challenges, your goals, and together we'll come up with a realistic plan to ensure your success.

Heather has an amazing amount of knowledge. She is patient and able to help from very beginner level (like myself) all the way to service animal (like others). She understands the different breeds and what it takes to train each one. I love that she shows us every day things that can be used safely but also will show us what equipment she recommends professionally. She teaches dog manners. She has been generous with her time also helping kids learn about dog care and training. We also joined a trick training class she offered. It was so much fun! She has a heart for dogs of all sizes. I am so thankful we met her and her willingness to help us learn. She has been a true blessing to our family.

We have a Doberman that started becoming very reactive to other dogs. We started private sessions to help not only him but help us learn ways to train with him. It has been super helpful training our pup and ourselves. We can schedule our sessions around our crazy schedule which is helpful. Some positives with Heather is that she will answer all your questions and she explains why, what, and when to do the techniques. It’s super helpful because you can learn how to do them but if you don’t know when or why you’re using them. We are also able to bring my son and he works on some training methods with us (and he’s only 6!). It’s been helpful for my pup and our family, we are glad we found her because she really clicks with the animals she is training.

Heather did an amazing job with our very excitable, reactive, Australian Labradoodle, Molly. Molly did a 2 week board & train with Heather and came back a new dog. She had prior learned skills honed, new skills learned, and longer duration in everything. Heather is always available to us via phone or text and always answers my many questions. In addition to training our Molly, Heather continues to “train” us on how to better work with Molly. We continue to take classes and learn from Heather and highly recommend her to anyone wanting to have a better relationship with their dog!!

Although I have never personally met Heather, she is always quick to reply to any pup questions I have for her on her FB page.
She is a great source of K9 knowledge and I would refer any pup lover over to her for those seeking any advice 🐶❤️
