Is your dog at home while you work, shop or just in need of a little socialization and exercise? Leaving your dog at home for extended periods can lead to boredom and stress, which dogs often attempt to alleviate by means of destructive behavior. Inevitably, the owner comes home to find furniture torn, dog fights, regressed potty-training and other unpleasant "surprises".
Get your dog into a routine of obedience, socialization and structured play. We have certified obedience trainers ready to help you lead the way one paw at a time. Day-school includes one-on-one training, social play, swimming pools, walks and more.
