Testimonials
K9 Capers was the only “daycare” I was considering when starting to plan to bring home our puppy. She assuaged all my concerns and questions prior to bringing our puppy home and now that our puppy is here and been in Heather’s care, I can say we absolutely made the right decision.
Heather goes above and beyond to ensure that every dog in her care is happy, safe and being set up for long term success. We are glad that Figgy considers K9 capers her second home and wouldn’t have it any other way .
– Client
I highly recommend K9 Capers! Recon (my boxer baby) attended K9 Capers as a puppy and through his senior years. He was my very first dog and K9 Capers was instrumental in helping properly socialize and train him to be the incredible dog he was. Not only that but Heather was able to give me some training tips as well that were very helpful! Recon absolutely loved his school family and days spent there. I wouldn’t consider bringing any of my future dogs elsewhere as K9 Capers has my complete trust and confidence. Thank you to Heather and the staff for helping to give Recon some of his favorite fun-filled days!

Heather and her staff are wonderful – I wouldn’t send my dogs anywhere else for daycare. Not only do they focus on manners and PROPER socialization, but they demonstrate patience and caring with all the dogs. Heather takes valuable time to evaluate each pup and their needs while keeping the other dogs already enrolled in mind – it shows a true commitment to our furry friends’ behavior and well-being. In my opinion, K9 Capers is the TOP dog day center in this region!
