Our home is your dog’s home away from home.

Like family!
Your dog is part of your family and we train them as such. There are no commercial kennels here. Your dog will be part of our family while in our care and learning how to behave as an integrated part of a family. This is a unique 1:1 board and train experience where your dog will be living in our home interacting and learning with us all day long - not in a kennel waiting their turn for an hour-long lesson.

Room to play!
Our home is on a quiet road with a large fenced-in yard where we spend a lot of time gardening and playing with our young son. It’s the perfect spot for your dog to learn and play with us!

Let’s explore!
We are a very active family and constantly seek opportunities to get out and explore, and we will be bringing your dog along too! We take advantage of every opportunity to train your dog in a variety of situations and locations.
Our Family
Our Original Pack
Our family began when we adopted Kai, a cur mix, in 2006 and grew a year later when we adopted Katie, a boxer. Our sweet pound puppies taught us a lot about patience, friendship, and love. Katie was used in a puppy mill before landing in a shelter and was emaciated, battling a uterine infection, and incredibly socially deficient. After consulting the veterinarian at the shelter on her health, he told me he wouldn’t advise adopting her not knowing if she would survive, let alone what long term health problems she might have. I immediately walked to the front desk and put in paperwork to bring her home. Kai was in love with her from the moment she came home and he played a big role in nursing her back to health. Once she was healthy her playful and loving personality shone through and she and Kai were inseparable. We enjoyed 13 wonderful years with our silly and lovable Kai, and 12 years with our ‘snuggle bug’ Katie. Our hearts and lives have been forever changed for having them and we miss them every day.
Our Pack Today
My husband and I are high school sweethearts from West Virginia but our big dreams and unwavering support of each other have taken us along a zigzagging path to our current home in Western New York. Our son keeps us on our toes and is a funny, sweet, and inquisitive kid. We are an active family that enjoys hiking, traveling, living room dance parties, and picnics. We look forward to having your dog join our family during their board and train program!
