Board And Train Highlights!

Goldendoodle Lucy

Pictured above is Lucy with her new family.


Some of you know that Lucy came to me through our customer Dana (Remy's mom) who saved Lucy from an abusive home. She was 12 weeks old, emaciated, horrified to make a sound in the crate, not potty or obedience trained, in other words she knew nothing. Dana had a friend that wanted her and decided to do a Board And Train so we could build her confidence, gain weight, and get some potty and obedience training done. Once the weight came on and she became more confident she was a dream to be around. We are so happy to see pictures of Lucy with her new family and doggy brother enjoying life.

Sometimes life can take a turn for the better.

St. Bernard Margot

Video above is Margot (St. Bernard) teaching Banks (Goldendoodle) how to get into tub. And NO I didn't expect this, I just left for a second to get the towels.

Margot was found by a friend of Rebeccas (Head Trainer). Margot had a rough start, by the time Rebecca got her she was severely underweight, and a lot of her hair had fallen out. Rebecca got her healthy then gave her to me (Jackie) for some Service Dog training. I have been using Margot to help train puppies that come for our Board And Training. Margot is now 90 lbs at 9 months and is so quiet and gentle she doesn't scare the puppies. Margot is easy to love.

Intermediate And Advanced Classes

This is a set of classes that takes the commands your dog learned in “Puppy Basics & Beyond” or “Beginner Life Skills,” and challenges your dog more by increasing distance and including tougher distractions with added commands. They will also learn to perfect loose leash walking.

Agility 101/Obedience Classes


The class was developed for dogs with high energy, dogs that have a hard time focusing, dogs with anxiety, dogs that are fearful and for people that are looking to have fun with their dogs. The goal of the class is to develop as a team, to work off leash at a distance with distractions.

Scottish Collie

Scottish Collie Bonnie is owned by my good friend Sue who came for a visit from St. Louis. Always enjoy when Sue takes the time to come to NC. It gives me a chance not only to visit with her but to see how Bonnie is growing into a beautiful talented dog.
