I can’t say enough glowing things about The Calm Companion. This small business has earned a stellar reputation in our community. The atmosphere is relaxed and yes, calm, and all the dogs are genuinely content to spend time. Their facility is impeccably clean, the trainers are experts, and all the staff are accommodating, polite, and true dog lovers. Our dog loves this place more than his own home. Thank you, Rosanne and all the CC staff!

Questions & Answers

How long does training take?

The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020
The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020

Our training plans are customized to each dog. Training for some dogs may take a day or two, and others may take years. Our trainers will work with you to achieve goals set for your dog and recommend a timeline to reach those goals.

Where can I get the proper training tools to ensure training happens at my home and not just at your facility?

The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020
The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020

We provide most of our clients with the necessary training tools they will need to implement training in their home. We sell collars, leashes, muzzles, and more to help with training. It is not recommended for clients to go online and purchase such items without receiving the proper training themselves on how and when to use such tools. Often times, it is the owner who needs the training more than the dog!

How much does it cost for me to board my dog?

The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020
The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020

Boarding is $40 a day. This covers the amount of care that we put into each dog while at our facility. We take pride in the amount of time and care each dog receives, and that takes time and effort on behalf of our staff. Dogs are let out of their kennel every hour to hour and a half, minimum. Meaning, they are getting out of their kennel anywhere from 8-10 times a day for potty breaks, play time, walks, and more! Regardless of taking up a kennel space, it’s the care that we provide that makes it worth the cost!

What grooming services do you offer?

We offer a Bath Only service that includes a bath, ear cleaning & nail trimming. As well as a Full Groom service that includes a cut, bath, ear cleaning & nail trimming. See our services page for pricing and more details.

What group training classes do you offer, if any?

The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020
The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020

We currently offer 4 different training classes that cover leash training, handler skills, behavior correction, and more. Each class is catered to specific dog age groups and specific training techniques. See our services page for more information!

What should I bring if my dog is coming for boarding?

The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020
The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020

The only required item to bring is enough food for your dog for the duration of its stay with us. Clients are welcome to bring pillows, blankets, toys, etc., if they feel it will make their dog more comfortable during its stay with us.

I’m experiencing biting and aggression with my dog, what would be the best training to sign up for?

The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020
The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020

A evaluation would need to be scheduled for any dog showing this type of behavior. Our trainers may recommend Board & Train for the dog’s training plan to have more success in changing the dog’s behavior and correcting the aggression issues. Any dog showing this type of behavior is going to require a more lengthy and costly rehabilitation plan.

What happens during dog daycare?

The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020
The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020

Dogs play and socialize together in a safe and controlled environment for a majority of the day. Most dogs are on leash during Daycare to ensure a controlled environment, not only to wear them out physically, but to create even more mental stimulation, which is more exhausting for them.

I’m interested in Dog training, what is the best way to get started?

The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020
The Calm Companion | Nov 1, 2020

New clients interested in bringing their dog for training or daycare must scheduled an evaluation with our trainers first. This is so we can determine that the services you’re interested in are in fact the best direction to go for your dog’s needs.
