- WE OPPERATE OUT OF OUR PRIVATE HOME AND APPRECIATE YOU NOT COMING OVER WITHOUT AN
APPOINTMENT

- Our service starts at 8am with a daily adventurous 2 mile trail hike for active dogs Seniors go on a leashed neighborhood hike afterwards
-
- Dogs are asked to come for a meet-n-greet and temperament assessment before they are
accepted
- EVERYONE gets a choice of sleeping on a couch or dog bed in our home overnight
.
- We provide daycare for a bigger group of our regular customers 3 days a week .
- UNFORTUNATELY WE DO NOT ACCEPT UNNEUTERED MALES OLDER THAN 8
MONTHS
- We are bonded and insured

-
- OUR FOCUS IS ON THE INDIVIDUAL DOG we temperament test her/ him by introducing them to our own dogs in our inital interview. We
find out what they like / dislike and we watch their pack behavior when you bring them for a playdate before their service starts - then we accept the dog .Owner Martina has studied Canine
Psychology , Canine first aid and has 14 years of experience handling dogs in a safe and compassionate way .
- We are low-tech (no cameras, no artificial turf) and hands-on, spending 8 hours
supervising dogs play inside and outside daily. Someone is on the premises nearly always yo keep an eye/ear on them.,
We feel that if we would get a dollar for every time the dogs make us smile, we would all be
millionaires:-)
