Are you busy?  Does your dog have behaviors that you want “fixed”, but you just don’t have the time to get to a weekly class?  

Saltyclaws can help you!

We are proud to announce that we have contracted with Wagging Tail Academy to deliver private one-on-one lessons to YOUR dog while they’re either boarding with us or enjoying our daycare. 

Wagging Tail Academy can teach your dog a variety of common behaviors, or you can define what your dog needs.
