About The Calm Companion

Who is The Calm Companion--Rosanne Eigel. "My love of dogs was innately present at the early age of 3, as I was found in the garage with a neighbor puppy, sound asleep on the floor. This was only the beginning of my lifelong interest in learning about and working with animals. I have always enjoyed spending my time with my animals, which have included over the years…dogs, cats, horses, burros, goats, and cows. I have always known that my real passion and joy came from being in their presence."

Question on Google
What happens during dog daycare?

Dogs play and socialize together in a safe and controlled environment for a majority of the day. Most dogs are on leash during Daycare to ensure a controlled environment, not only to wear them out physically, but to create even more mental stimulation, which is more exhausting for them.

Question on Google
How much does it cost for me to board my dog?

Boarding is $50 a day. This covers the amount of care that we put into each dog while at our facility. We take pride in the amount of time and care each dog receives, and that takes time and effort on behalf of our staff. Dogs are let out of their kennel every hour to hour and a half, minimum. Meaning, they are getting out of their kennel anywhere from 8-10 times a day for potty breaks, play time, walks, and more! Regardless of taking up a kennel space, it’s the care that we provide that makes it worth the cost!

Question on Google
I’m interested in Dog training, what is the best way to get started?

New clients interested in bringing their dog for training or daycare must scheduled an evaluation with our trainers first. This is so we can determine that the services you’re interested in are in fact the best direction to go for your dog’s needs.

Community answer · The Calm Companion · 2020-09-21

Question on Google
I’m experiencing biting and aggression with my dog, what would be the best training to sign up for?

A evaluation would need to be scheduled for any dog showing this type of behavior. Our trainers may recommend Board & Train for the dog’s training plan to have more success in changing the dog’s behavior and correcting the aggression issues. Any dog showing this type of behavior is going to require a more lengthy and costly rehabilitation plan.

Question on Google
Where can I get the proper training tools to ensure training happens at my home and not just at your facility?

We provide most of our clients with the necessary training tools they will need to implement training in their home. We sell collars, leashes, muzzles, and more to help with training. It is not recommended for clients to go online and purchase such items without receiving the proper training themselves on how and when to use such tools. Often times, it is the owner who needs the training more than the dog!

Community answer · The Calm Companion · 2020-09-21

Question on Google
What should I bring if my dog is coming for boarding?

The only required item to bring is enough food for your dog for the duration of its stay with us. Clients are welcome to bring pillows, blankets, toys, etc., if they feel it will make their dog more comfortable during its stay with us.

I can’t say enough good things about The Calm Companion! They have been absolutely amazing with our dogs. We have loved the training (group and private sessions), boarding, and daycare. Kris and Rosanne go above and beyond for Blaze and Skye. It’s clear how much they care about each dog and their individual needs. Our dogs always come home happy, well-cared for, and better behaved. Knowing they are in such good hands gives me a peace of mind. I highly recommend The Calm Companion to anyone looking for help!!

We adopted a dog last year and had the wonderful staff at The Calm Companion help us with some behavioral issues(pulling very hard on her leash during walks). After her initial training and time, our dog was so much easier to handle. We recently decided to enroll her in E collar training to allow us more flexibility with while we are camping/ hiking. Hanna and the staff did such an amazing job. I was amazed at the results. I would highly recommend the staff at The Calm Companion. We’ve also used them for boarding and every time we drop our dog off she is super excited to see the team.
