What Does Pet Grooming Include?

Pet grooming includes a range of services designed to keep your pet clean and healthy. This typically involves brushing and bathing to remove dirt and prevent matting, as well as nail trimming and ear cleaning to ensure overall hygiene. Grooming may also include coat styling, teeth brushing, and checking for skin issues or parasites.

Are There Requirements for Dog Boarding?

To ensure all dogs are safe and comfortable during boarding, we require proof of up-to-date vaccinations for Canine Influenza, Bordetella, and Rabies, as well as a negative fecal test from the past year. We do not accept dogs who are aggressive or have exhibited aggression in the past.

What Is Puppy Training?

Puppy training is designed to teach young dogs essential skills, such as good behavior and socialization. At our facility, we provide both group training sessions and one-on-one lessons to accommodate your dog's needs. Our training services include basic commands, obedience, potty training, crate training, leash walking, and socialization with other dogs and people.

Is Group Training Beneficial for Older Dogs?

Group training can be highly beneficial for older dogs by providing socialization opportunities and mental stimulation. Engaging in group sessions helps them remain active and engaged, promoting better physical and cognitive health. Additionally, the presence of other dogs and people in the training environment can enhance their social skills and reduce behavioral issues.
