We sure do! Our enrichment focused boarding services are perfect for dogs of all shapes, sizes, ages, and temperaments. Each day our guests are offered adventures (ex. nature walks, river swims), activities (agility/obstacle course work, time in the scent room), and group play or 1-1 play. We believe that fulfilled dogs are happy dogs and happy dogs are our specialty.
Most of our services are all inclusive, but we also offer some basic upgrades to boarding such as basic training, intentional socialization, specialty treats or activities upon request.

Because no two dogs (or their humans) are the same we focus on the nuances of training while formulating customized plans to meet the needs and expectations of both dogs and handlers. The value of great training is beyond customized training plans which has become the industry standard "selling point". Our programs offer a combination of private training sessions, group classes, group outings, boarding with enrichment and upgraded training, live-in training (Board & Train) as well as an online classroom and an interactive social community full of training and behavior resources.
If you'd like more information about our training programs, book a free phone consultation at www.longdoginc.as.me/PHONE. Here we'll dive into your challenges, your goals, and together we'll come up with a realistic plan to ensure your success.

Amazing service! I will recommend Long Dog Inc. training to everyone I know.
We were considering taking back a dog we had previously given away. We had given him away because he had separation anxiety, and it was too much for me to handle with two young kids. His new owner was experiencing the same thing and asked me if we wanted him back. I knew the only way I could take him back is if I put him through training. Our dog sitter recommended Long Dog Inc. she said she’d taken her dog there and after just a couple of sessions, her dog was a different dog in all the right ways. So I reached out to Heather at Long Dog Inc.
Heather was not only incredibly friendly, but she is by far the most knowledgeable dog person I know. She is also knowledgeable with human/dog interaction - meaning when I told her the problems with the dog, she was able to pinpoint the source. She was understanding and empathetic and simply a joy to talk to.
If you’re needing training for your dog, look no further. You will not be disappointed!

Heather is very knowledgeable and knows what training and interventions my dog would require. She is very patient and wants me to succeed with having a well trained and joyful pet. I can already see a difference in him after one session. Thank you so much, Heather.

Heather is absolutely wonderful with my two dogs, and truly the best trainer you will ever find. I was desperate to find someone to help with my three-year-old’s aggression, and after the consultation call with Heather, I knew I was in good hands with her knowledge and expertise. Every session has been immensely insightful, and Heather can pick up on every little thought my dogs have, and she teaches me how to approach situations based on what it tells the dogs. Heather is so patient, personable, and encouraging. The difference in my dogs’ confidence is exponential. She is above and beyond what I expected, and my pups love her!
