Day Hill Dog Training, Boarding & Daycare

From the moment I arrived I felt confident leaving my dog in Kim’s care. The kennels and play areas are clean, well maintained, and thoughtfully laid out. There's ample space for dogs to move, indoor/outdoor access (or young dogs had safe secure areas) and the staff clearly monitor the dogs throughout the day. My dog came home happy and calm, which in my experience means she had good supervision + enough mental & physical activity — not just "sit in a crate all day". What impressed me most was how the training was incorporated alongside the boarding. The Kim took time to assess my dog's individual needs (energy level, behaviour issues, learning style). We discussed goals ahead of time (e.g., better recall, less jumning, calm behaviour around o * dogs/humans).

Our young English Shepherd began starting fights with our Blue Heeler when friends were at our house. In the beginning I could stop the fight. As time went on the fights became worse with more triggers. This resulted in my husband being injured. After which we kept the dogs apart. We knew we needed help. I had done puppy class with Kim at Day Hill dog training and saw she is a Certified Behavioral Trainer. She told me she had just come back from a Master Class on Dog Aggression! Kim did an assessment of the dogs and made a plan. We went from private lessons to a group class with earning a Canine Good Citizen title. Our dogs are happy and back together. We continue to use the skills we learned and plan on taking the next level training class. Talk with Kim she can help you too.
