About Me
My background
A little about me. My name is Abby and I currently have three dogs: Gracie, a black Labrador Retriever, and two Border Collies, Lainey and Veda. I have competed in a variety of disciplines from obedience, rally, lure coursing, dock diving, barn hunt, disc, agility, and canine fitness. I am also a certified AKC FIT Dog, CGC, Fetch, and Certified Farm Test evaluator as well as an UpDog Challenge judge. My favorite activities are hiking and kayaking with my dogs and competing in dog sporting events.
*Certified in pet first aid and CPR.
My Philosophy
I believe that the key to a great relationship with your dog is having fun together. Enjoying playful moments strengthens your bond and makes for a happy and fulfilling companionship.

In-home boarding provides pet owners with an alternative to traditional kennels by allowing dogs to stay in a more familiar, home-like environment. In this setup, dogs are cared for in the boarder's home, allowing for a less stressful environment and more one-on-one attention.
