Policies

The Working Dog prescreens all boarding guests to ensure comfort and compatibility, as dogs live as part of their family. Dogs are not required to commingle or share yard time with dogs from outside their family group. Intact dogs are welcome, but owners should inform them if a bitch is likely coming into season. They accommodate raw diets, medications, and supplements. For training, Board and Train is an add-on service reserved for existing training clients. They recommend dogs are current on parasite control and ask that sick pets are not dropped off.

How to Get Started!

To get started with private training or boarding, clients first schedule a 20-minute call to discuss their dog’s history, training, and temperament, and to answer any questions. If it’s a good fit, an orientation visit is scheduled for the dog and owner to confirm comfort and compatibility. After the orientation, the dog’s stay or training sessions can be booked, with detailed information gathered about the dog’s routine to ensure the best experience.
