Do you offer boarding?
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.

How much does training cost?
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.

Highly recommend Heather. She’s very knowledgeable and passionate about what she does. Being away from our fur baby for 4 weeks was hard, but knowing he was being well cared for while being away for training put us at ease.
Heather is so incredibly knowledgable and empathetic. I can't recommend her enough!
This training has been an excellent experience for our dogs and for us!! We are being trained right along side our "girls" as we call our two labs. . Professional, knowledgeable, dependable, helpful, results oriented, and patient with us and the girls!! We would highly recommend this service.

I'm a 64 yr old woman with one above amputation and my left foot and leg were crushed. The last dog I had: Annie was 110 lbs of brown-eyed girl, who just loved to love and be loved. Finally, more than 15 years of her passing, I adopted a wee dog, who didn't know any manners. Wasn't potty-trained. Had no recall. Twice my sexy bionic leg fell off in the park. I was starting to believe that bc I couldn't seem to train her myself!my new lil terrier would have to be rehomed. If she doesn't call when her disabled owner calls, it's such a risk. The first trainer I picked charged me 125 and did nothing. We were worse than we were before so I asked Sam at the dog park. I got hooked with Heather immediately! Night and Day difference. Worth every penny for room and board training. Gracie now knows to sit, down, and is, kennel-trained, so she doesn't potty all over the house. Heather has made it so we can stay together. She's had a profound effect on our lives.
