Dog Boarding with Cathie!


When looking for boarding, a 'home-away-from-home' for your dog, what better place than with your own dog trainer?   In this case, you get what you pay for. 

Cathie already knows you, knows and loves your dog.  Your dog knows Cathie, loves her treats... and probably likes her... a tiny bit.  😏  

 * This service is exclusively for existing training clients.* 

Being a Certified Professional Dog TrainerFear Free Certified and Canine First Aid Certified, Cathie is in an excellent position to understand and support your dog while in her care.
  
Be it a for an evening, a weekend or a longer, you won't be having to leave your dog with a stranger! 

Your dog will have companionship with Cathie, her husband David, Coco belle, and up to 1 additional carefully selected dog in care, as well as the following:

  • LOTS of cuddles, and one on one attention and play, if your dog enjoys it.
  • Consistency of the same science-based and force-free training methods you learned in your training sessions.
  • A cozy house with room for your dog to move about freely, to take a nap on the couch, or share in some indoor play time. 
  • Quieter resting spaces for those who need.
  • Structured naps and outdoor play time.
  • A large fully fenced back yard for your dog to sunbathe, catch some shade, romp and roll around, under close supervision, always. 
  • Double gated entry / exit gates to the back yard. 
  • A fully fenced, covered porch overlooking the back yard. 
  • A fully fenced front yard.
  • Toys are plentiful, if everyone shares nicely.  Leave your dog's toys at home, so they don't get eaten! 
  • Separate areas for meals, and chewing time.
  • Interactive food puzzles, and slow feeders are in abundance. 
  • A fully fenced and secure, private potty area. 
  • 'Field trips' to the training center
