What people have asked about this business.
Do you accept aggressive dogs?
We do our best to accommodate every dog. Please give us a call to discuss your dog’s behavior. A training evaluation may be required prior to overnight care or attending enrichment program.

We require Rabies and Distemper vaccines. If you choose to get the Bordatella vaccine, please wait a minimum of ten days before visiting us as that vaccine is a live virus.

We have been at 842 W Northwest Hwy since 1994. With the business expanding we needed a second location!
We opened our Training Center in March 2017 to give the dogs more space. We offer enrichment program, overnight care, and grooming at our Community Center, and we offer training and overnight care at our Training Center.

Please do! We have an open-door policy during regular business hours to view our facilities. However, we recommend that you give us a call beforehand so we can make sure we have adequate time for the tour and to answer any questions.

What happens if my dog needs vet care while with you?
We will contact you first immediately. If we are unable to reach you and it is an emergency, we will transport your dog to a vet. Which vet we take them to depends on their hours and availability.

Off-leash play evaluations are required before your pup comes to enrichment program or overnight care and they allow us to see if they're fit for off-leash play with a group of dogs. Our Petcare Technician Leaders take their time to allow your dog to explore their new surroundings and evaluate how your dog handles new people, places, sounds, and other dogs. After your dog completes their evaluation you will receive a report on our findings of your dog’s off-leash play style and what services are well suited for you and your dog. An off- leash evaluation is for a full day. They are set up by appointment.
Community answer · A Closer Bond Dog Training Business Center · 2024-09-21
Dogs must be over 8 weeks old and completed the first two series of vaccinations, including a fecal exam, but we have no upper age limit. We also do not have any breed restrictions.
Community answer · A Closer Bond Dog Training Business Center · 2024-09-21
How far in advance do I have to make reservations?
We ask that enrichment program and overnight care reservations are made at least 24 hours in advance. Our grooming and training departments book up relatively quickly so please make those reservations as early as possible.
Community answer · A Closer Bond Dog Training Business Center · 2024-09-21
Why isn’t my dog in pictures on Facebook or Instagram?
We do our best to post enrichment photos from the Community Center on Facebook and Instagram throughout the week. Pictures of new training dogs are posted on Mondays. If your dog stays at our Community Center and you do not see a picture of them, don’t worry! They’re getting the same amount of play time, we just missed them when taking pictures.

I felt like I was being psychologically evaluated by the trainer who met with me gave me hardly any advice and I paid 40 dollars for it. The trainers personality wasn't personable at all he was a bit prideful acting. In ither words I wasn't coming in for a psychological evaluation of myself but of my dog. Also fyi your dog can't even go to their daycare or stay overnight if they haven't been in their program which costs almost 3000!

Training is not what is advertised. It is an abusive fear based training. Not the holistic positive training that is promoted by Katy the owner/trainer. Every video they post showing dogs she has trained is the exact same video, just a different dog. If you notice Katy has every dog on an electric shock collar, and the controller in her hand. Every dog does the same three command series and that’s it. She immediately puts every dog in an e collar when they are dropped off, even though she insisted that it is only used less than 10% of the time. She uses head halters, e collars, prong collars and other controlling, behavior suppressing devices. She wants the quick fix for the huge fee you pay her. It’s the same routine for every dog in her care and is not the “individual special program she developed just for your dog” like she will tell you at your evaluation prior to drop off. Do not trust this place with your dog!! Good looks and a sales pitch are deceiving.

My dog looks forward to her weekly daycare day. She loves the staff and the friends she has made there. The staff is friendly and helpful. They do cute activities once a month such as art work or themed photos. They review and evaluate all dogs to ensure the safety of your pet. They also offer training at their other facility. I would highly recommend A Closer Bond.
