Questions & answers
From GoogleWhat people have asked about this business.
Looking for training for our new 10 month old Lab/stafford/dane. Are there different packages/costs & what does that look like?
We did board and train for our boxer puppy at 6.5 months old. She was there for 30 days. All the staff there (that I personally interacted with) was absolutely fabulous. Shannon Walker works magic with dogs. If we get any other dog, it's definitely going there for training. Call them for prices, it may have changed since we paid our bill.

lots of love and hard work is dedicated by the workers there.
Loved leaving dogs here. Raised their prices to$60 per day per dog. We were always charged for extra day. There seemed to be no hotel like set up. That is we’re you pick them up by noon you’re not charged extra day. Plus on Sunday you can pick up dog, so you’re charged for another day. All’s good, we found a great place to take dogs, we’re you can understand the system.
They take great care of the dog. I feel comfortable leaving him for just a day or a over a week. After all of these years, it is still the best place for my dog
I got my battle buddy from here great program good people thank you for OSO
