Testimonials

Haley always does such an incredible job taking care of our pups when we’re out of town. We get lots of picture updates and texts about how they’re doing (even attached a couple she sent us). I never have to worry about whether or not they’re getting enough cuddles and pets. She treats all of the dogs as if they’re her own! Our fur babies always come home happy and exhausted from their time with her. We just went on a trip for ten days and it gave us such peace of mind knowing that our dogs were in her care. Can’t recommend her enough!!

Picked up my dog kids last night after a long weekend with Haley. They were happy to see us, but clearly VERY calm, content & happy to hang out with Haley. Very different from the only other time I boarded them, someplace else, a few years ago. I could tell they felt at ease and loved with Haley!! Can I give 100 stars??? Thank you Haley!!!
– Client

Haley is the best! We feel very fortunate to have such a caring and compassionate person take care of our dog, Quincy for daycare and boarding. He loves it! If you are looking for daycare or boarding for your dog, don’t hesitate to use Idle Creek K9. Your dog will receive the best care!

About the Trainer

Welcome to Idle Creek K9, a dog training and boarding service run by Haley, a professional dog trainer with over 3 years of experience and a background in Equine Science. Haley provides personalized, in-home boarding and training programs designed to build strong bonds between dogs and their owners. Her services include board and train programs ranging from 1 to 4 weeks, daycare, boarding, and dog walking—all conducted in her home to ensure individualized attention. She emphasizes balanced training techniques, controlled socialization, and family involvement to ensure long-term success. Dogs receive structured play, public exposure, and tailored obedience training without the use of aggression or severe anxiety protocols.

Haley’s training programs are designed for dogs needing help with basic obedience, confidence, leash walking, and anxiety, with increasing levels of difficulty across program lengths. She does not accept dogs with aggression or severe anxiety for her board and train programs. Clients receive updates, photos, and hands-on instruction to reinforce training at home, ensuring seamless transitions after the program ends.

Accomplishments

Haley has over 3 years of professional dog training experience and over 8 years of background in Equine Science, which informs her understanding of animal behavior and psychology. She applies interdisciplinary knowledge to create tailored, effective training methods for dogs.

How to Get Started!

Client engagement begins with a 1-hour initial in-home or phone consultation to discuss the dog’s needs and training goals, after which a tailored board and train or other service package is recommended.
