Policies

For Board & Train programs, a 30% non-refundable deposit is required to secure a dog’s spot. To ensure optimal training progress, client visits during the Board & Train program are generally not permitted, as they can confuse the dog and hinder training.

For Individual Training, a 24-hour notice is required for cancellations. Failure to provide this notice or a “no-show” for a scheduled appointment will result in the session being counted as used.

For the safety of all pets, full updated vaccination records are mandatory for any boarding or training services. Required vaccinations include Rabies, DHLPP, and Bordatella. Owners are also responsible for ensuring their dogs are up-to-date on flea, tick, and heartworm prevention, as well as dewormer.
