Being a responsible pet parent comes with the task of finding the perfect boarding or training center for your furry companion. Whether it's a getaway you're planning, a need for temporary care, or an endeavor to enhance your dog's skills, choosing the right facility is a huge decision. With lots of options available, knowing how to navigate through them can make a world of difference in ensuring a great experience for both you and your loved pet.

Here are a few key factors that should make a boarding center stand out and provide an enjoyable environment for your dog:

The Start - Facility Research and Inspection

As you attempt to find the perfect boarding or training center for your furry companion, the first step involves taking part in a virtual tour of the potential facilities. Take a deep dive into our photo gallery, easily accessible via the menu bar, to get a sneak peek into what awaits your furry friend.

It is essential to look beyond the surface and into the core aspects that define a top-notch facility. Secure enclosures or kennels that go beyond mere functionality, they are able to offer areas of comfort and security for your pup.

But wait, there's more! Our kennels are designed with your dog's happiness and safety in mind. Each kennel has chew-proof elevated cots, providing a comfortable resting space, and stainless steel food and water bowls for mealtime conveniences. Between every individual kennel, you'll find HDPE boards ensuring privacy and preventing any hint of kennel rivalry, fostering a peaceful environment for all furry guests.

NOTE: Each kennel is sanitized DAILY with a Wysiwash Sanitizing System, a hypochlorite solution that disinfects everything it comes into contact with. This system is not only effective in eliminating germs and bacteria but is also eco-friendly and non-hazardous to both humans and animals. It provides you peace of mind knowing that our facilities are thoroughly cleaned and sanitized to maintain a healthy environment for your beloved pets during their stay with us.

The Heart of Everything - Individualized Attention

At Blaze A Trail Canine, we pride ourselves on providing personalized, one-on-one care to every dog that enters our facility. Unlike larger facilities with a team of staff members, it is the owner and operator, Kelley, who works with the dogs at all times. This special approach allows her to provide unparalleled care and companionship to each dog, ensuring that they receive the utmost attention and personalized experience during their stay.

Kelley has an abundance of knowledge and training, and is well-prepared to handle various breeds and personalities. Each dog is in great hands, getting personalized attention that suits their unique needs and preferences.

Supervised Social Time

When selecting a dog boarding and training center, it is important to prioritize facilities that offer supervised social time. Supervised socialization sessions promote emotional support, alleviate loneliness, boredom, and anxiety, especially beneficial for dogs prone to separation anxiety.

It's reassuring to know that all dogs at our facility receive supervised social time at least three times daily. This time allows for ample exercise and mental stimulation throughout their stay and inturn adding to the experience for your canine companion.

Fenced-In Activity Yard

Our fenced-in activity yard is a crucial component when looking at facilities. It goes hand in hand with supervised social time and is important for a few reasons:

An outdoor space provides fresh air and outside time.
The fenced area ensures safety and security, allowing dogs to exercise without risks or hazards, particularly beneficial for those prone to wandering.

The yard promotes physical health by providing a space for running, jumping, fetching, and exploring, which is vital for active breeds or high-energy dogs.

In essence, our fenced-in activity yard complements supervised social time, creating an ideal environment for all dogs in our care.

The Importance of Communication and Updates

Staying connected with your furry family member is not a luxury – it's a NECESSITY. At Blaze A Trail Canine, we recognize the importance of maintaining open lines of communication between pet parents and the caretaker/s.

There is great significance in receiving regular updates on your dog – not only giving you a piece of mind for their well-being but perhaps even easing any separation anxiety that you might have. We strive to keep you informed and connected during your furry family member’s stay.

Compatibility - The Perfect Fit

Every pup is unique, with their own set of preferences, personality traits, and needs. It is important to find a center that fits with your dog and their individuality. At Blaze A Trail Canine, we cater to ALL DOGS. Yep! - You heard that right. We care for all sizes and personalities (Including aggressive and/or hyper behaviors). Whether your dog thrives in lively social settings or prefers one-on-one interactions, we are the place for them!

A Wrap-Up - Making the Informed Choice

When you finish your research on finding a boarding facility, make sure to prioritize the qualities that are most important to you and your dog, ensuring they receive the highest level of care and attention throughout their stay.

We hope that you have found your dog’s second home at Blaze A Trail Canine.
