e started with walking, hiking, running, and photography, and now offer Professional Dog Training and Behavioral Services. My Pets:

In 2014, we rescued a Aussie mix named Lexi, from a shelter in CT. After adopting Lexi, I decided that my passion was dogs, I love learning how to communicate and train her, as well as loved getting her outside for hiking or a run. Not only did I enjoy the exercise but I could tell she was acting better and seemed overall happier. In 2016, we rescued another dog, a Doberman Shepherd mix, named Rue. My family and I worked really hard on training her properly and giving her plenty of exercise, as she was a rescue dog that came with behavior issues that stemmed from her critical stages of puppyhood. Early in 2018 we brought home a Border Collie named Murray and are currently training him in agility, bikjoring, canicross, and more! In the beginning of 2022, we brought home two more Border Collies. We knew we wanted a female Border Collie and went and visited Minerva. Drago was Minerva's grandfather. He had recently been attacked by his pack and was up for adoption. We didn't even hesitate for a second and said we will take him home too! Both Minerva and Drago have become a huge part of our family. Minerva is currently training to take over for Lexi, as Lexi is going to be 9 soon and will be ready to retire in a few years. Drago has taken to our daughter Madison, sleeping in her room every night. Madison is currently working on building his confidence with solo walks and training fun. We also have a cat, Bodey! We are passionate about our animals and my clients are our family. We treat your dog as if they are our own. We are proud of what we offer and our services! We love what we do and we love Dogs! We look forward to hearing from you and meeting those fur babies! Thank you,
Bee

Socialization Program Rules & Policies

We’re a small business committed to providing safe, positive, and successful training and socialization experiences for every dog in our program. To help us maintain this standard, please follow the rules below:

Health Requirements
• If your dog has shown any signs of illness in the past 24 hours, they may not attend socialization.
Examples: diarrhea, vomiting, coughing, lethargy, or other signs of being unwell.
• Puppies must be healthy, with a clean bill of health, before attending.
• Your dog must have a bowel movement before arriving to ensure stools are solid and there are no digestive issues.

Potty Before Entering
• Please allow your dog to potty before bringing them inside. Several accidents have occurred because dogs were brought directly into the building. Our goal is to reinforce appropriate potty habits outside.

Attendance Restrictions
• To reduce the risk of illness spreading, we cannot accept dogs who currently attend another daycare, have been boarded at another facility, or have participated in group training inside another facility within the past 7 days.

Training Equipment
• Dogs who rely on corrective devices for daily management or training may not attend.
Examples: e-collars, prong/pinch collars, head halters, bark collars, etc.
• Use of an invisible fence collar is permitted only if approved by one of our certified trainers.

Female Dogs in Heat
• Females in heat may not attend until they are no longer showing symptoms.

Pick-Up Policy
• Pick-up time is 5:30 PM sharp. Late pick-up will incur a fee of $3 per minute.

Cancellation Policy
• Cancellations made with less than 1 week’s notice will be charged 100% of the service fee.
• Club members and recurring clients must provide at least 24 hours’ notice. If less, the full service fee will still be charged.

Thank you for helping us keep everyone’s pup safe and healthy and to have successful training days!

With love, Bee

Most people have the time—they simply choose not to spend it exercising their dog.

When dogs don’t get enough physical exercise and mental stimulation, they often become restless, frustrated, and develop unwanted behaviors such as excessive barking, destructive chewing, or difficulty focusing during training. Regular exercise not only keeps your dog healthy and fit, but it also reduces stress, strengthens your bond, and helps them feel more content and balanced at home.

Daily enrichment and activity are some of the simplest ways to prevent many common behavior problems before they even start.

So—are you making time each day to give your dog the exercise and enrichment they truly need?

🎃 Next up for our Photoshoot Socialization Pups…

SPOOKY SEASON IS HERE! 👻🐾

Make sure to grab a costume for your pup and bring it NEXT WEEK so Bee can help desensitize your dog to wearing it during photos.

We’ll be working on props, the camera, the backdrop, and costume desensitization—all the behind-the-scenes training that makes those adorable photos possible!

Training for this event isn’t just useful, it’s fun! Your pup gets to practice confidence-building skills, explore new sights and sounds, and learn how to stay calm around exciting (and sometimes silly) setups. Plus, you get the joy of capturing memories you’ll treasure forever.

Who’s excited for these spooky, silly, and smile-worthy sessions? 🎃📸🐶

We’ll be closed tomorrow, 9/2, while our old AC unit is removed and a brand new one is installed.

As many of you know, this has been an ongoing issue for months, so we’re beyond excited to finally have it resolved!

We’ll miss all the puppies tomorrow, but can’t wait to see everyone back next Wednesday.

With love,
Bee ❤️

Bee’s Story

Bee's Dog Services is family owned, bonded, and insured.

My name is Bee, short Bethany. In 2014, we rescued a Border Collie/Aussie mix named Lexi, from a shelter in CT. We fell in love and were excited to rescue more. In 2016, we rescued another dog, a Doberman Shepherd mix, named Rue. My family and I worked really hard on training them properly and giving them plenty of exercise, as they were both rescue dogs that came with behavior issues that stemmed from their critical stages of puppyhood.

Several years ago, after adopting Lexi, I decided that my passion was dogs. I love learning how to communicate with dogs, train dogs as well as loved getting my dogs outside for hiking or a run. Not only did I enjoy the exercise but I could tell my fur babies were acting better and seemed overall happier.

In 2017, I decided to leave the corporate world and attend Catch Canine Trainers Academy and earn my Professional Dog Trainer and Behavior Certificate (CCPDT certification). While I worked vigorously getting my Dog Trainer certificate, I opened Bee's Dog Service for business in May. We started with walking, hiking, running, and photography, and now offer Professional Dog Traiing and Behavioral Services, and Pet Waste Management.
