Accomplishments

"Rudy explained every aspect and asked several probing questions to fully understand Charlies behavior, Charlies likes and dislikes and what would be a good introduction to the pack.

I really was concerned that since Charlie has been away from day care during COVID, he would not fair well. However, since the staff are constantly monitoring engaging and well trained they appear to know much more about managing my pups boarding which reduced my anxiety and Charlie seems to really enjoy his visits. Rudy knows his dog stuff and I couldn’t be happier. I can say, that I am a satisfied and relaxed leaving Charlie at Dogtopia."
