Our day starts between 6-8am, we give potty breaks and then serve breakfast. Our play time and training times vary depending on the season & weather. During the warm months, our playtime and training time is early in the morning and late in the afternoon with mid day potty breaks. During the cooler seasons, we spend more time outside mid day. The dogs get 2-3 hours of outside playtime with potty breaks every 3-5 hours excluding night time. Dinner is served between 5-7pm and our last potty break is around 9pm.

Yes, in order for us to start services with you we need to meet you, your dog and preferably anyone who helps with your dog on a daily basis. We preform a temperament test to make sure your dog is a good fit for our group services. We also would like to get to know you, how you interact with your dog, what your routine is like at home so we can make your dog’s time as comfortable and fun as possible when with us.

A deposit of 50% is required to make a reservation. The full payment is due by the first day of service.

Please pack their own food with instructions (name, amount & frequency) written on the bag or case. You may pack a small blanket, towel, shirt or mat so they have some familiar smells for their stay. One or two toys are accepted but we can’t guarantee the condition of the toy when your dog gets back home. Stuffed beds, bedding, pillows or stuffed toys will not be accepted. We do not take rawhides or bones. If your dog has dietary restrictions you can pack specific treats for when snack time comes.

For an additional $30 each way, we provide pick up and drop off within our service area.

We offer bath services for all our boarding clients. We are happy to wash your dog before going home for an additional $20. Your dog must be okay with bathing as we don’t want them to associate Lucky Paws with stress, fear or anxiety. We do not clip nails or express glands.

Lucky Paws has room for two board and train clients at one time.

We limit our total guest capacity to eight.

Yes, all dogs that join our group activities will need to be up to date with all their shots and on active flea and tick medication. For dogs, we require they have Rabies, Parvo, Distemper and Bordetella vaccinations. We ask for a copy of the most recent shots at the meet and greet. We do this to keep all the dogs healthy and happy under our care.

We offer a cozy home environment for our dogs. Our program comprises of exercise, socialization and positive enforcement behavioral training. It is an all in one package making a one of a kind dog. We want your dog to receive stimulation both for the body and mind. We do not use prong collars, shock collars, or aggressive force with our dogs.

We are open on rainy and stormy days. If there is a state warning for severe weather (tornado, hail, lightning or extreme cold or heat) our outdoor activities may be limited.

Lucky Paws knows that each dog and behavior is unique. We discuss your needs and your dog’s temperament at our initial consultation. Our training programs are tailored to you and your dog. Our methods are force free and science based. We believe the best type of training is one which instills a loving and trusting bond while motivating them to be their best, well behaved self.

All our indoor spaces are temperature controlled for your dogs comfort and safety. If it is extremely hot or cold outside our play times will be shortened and playtime will continue indoors or under our shady/protected patio areas.

Your dog will be supervised very well while under our care, but sometimes accidents happen. If a medical emergency arises while under our care we will contact you immediately. If you are unable to be reached we will contact your emergency contact. If both contacts are unavailable we will contact your vet to see if they are able to treat them. If it is a serious medical emergency we will take your dog to the nearest emergency vet before your preferred vet. Your dogs safety is our priority. Once we arrive at the vet we will contact you again to let you know how your dog is doing and will continue to keep you updated. We do not travel more than 20 miles outside of our service area for emergency veterinary services. You are responsible for your own dog’s vet bill and a form of payment will be kept on file in case an emergency arises and we are unable to contact you. We always do everything in our power to keep your animal safe and all dogs are screened for safety before their stay.

For boarding, we do not accept unaltered males or females over one year old.

We do not board females that are in heat.

We have no breed restrictions because we know dogs don't fall into categories. Every dog is unique, just like us. We provide a temperament test for all our dogs before starting services. We do not allow aggressive dogs to take part in group boarding or activities. If your dog is aggressive please contact us for 1 on 1 training as well as muzzle training.

We can start solo training sessions as soon as you get your puppy.

After they get all their shots, we are happy to board them and get them socialized. This usually occurs around 4 months.
