Home Atmosphere

Preserving the true feeling of "home"

I am not open to the public. Visits here are by invitation and by appointment only.

As this is my home, all clients are asked to phone when on their way over to confirm whether they will be on time or are running late for their appointment.

Your call allows me to meet you in the driveway so you don’t ring my doorbell. This results in minimal barking.

I do a behavioral evaluation on all new dogs in my home before I can accept your first reservation.

At this meeting you are invited inside to see how things are done here and we can get to know each other.
I do NOT do “day care” at all. I do everything I can to reduce stress by limiting traffic and visitors.

When I introduce a new dog to the group I always take it slow and easy.

I give a new dog plenty of time to unwind before I allow another visiting dog to meet him up close and personal. I take extra time to set up the situation to ensure success.

I do everything I can to minimize disturbances from the outside world.

I work at keeping things peaceful, quiet and happy on the inside.
The average stay here is a week or longer resulting in very few disruptions to our calm atmosphere.
The minimum stay is one night which gives dogs a chance to relax and enjoy their companions and surroundings.
Again - I do NOT do "day care".

"Once you have had a wonderful dog, a life without one, is a life diminished."
