Now that puppies have all left for the day, I want to share!

We did a Doggy Art Class today!

(Non-toxic paint, of course!)

I have plans to do art classes more often, however I just need to stock up on supplies!! ❤️

Sometimes you get to come in to find a marvelous surprise! I’m sure that if Mom and Dad could check cameras, I would have been a perfect replica of Scream by Van Gogh….. 🤣

I love that each day is never the same 🤣

Summer Vacations Planned ☀️ 🏖

We are now accepting Boarding Appts for the summer!

Weekly and Nightly rates available!

Please contact for more information!

05/31/2022

Good Morning!
We currently have a few full time and part time daycare openings available!

Pups must be fully vaccinated, and in good health.
Hours of operation are Monday - Friday 7am-6pm.

We work on implied manners, so anything your dog would be expected to do at home, we reinforce here 🙂
What does that mean? We work on -not counter surfing, no knocking over trash cans, no jumping on kids and adults, as well as barking at the door or people walking by, etc.

With the kids home for the summer, they will have interaction with tiny humans as well as adults. We go on walks, get pup cups, lots of enrichment activities as well!

I am not a believer of leaving a dog kenneled up all day long, so your pup will have all the love just as if they were our own 🙂

We work with all different breeds and ages ❤️ 🐾 🐶

Feel free to message with any questions you may have, or to set up your pup’s eval!

Good Morning!!!!

Can I ask you guys a HUGE favor??

The dogs and I are looking for a secondary vehicle other than my own personal one to turn into a Dog Taxi.

Id love to get my hands on a work van that I can bolt in impact kennels, or a soccer mom van, or even a school bus that we can renovate the inside of for “School”.

Minor repairs needed are ok, nothing major!

Be my eyes and ears??

Excuse me - I thought someone said there was gunna be s’mores …..

Tundra is just watching the kids with their ”shmarsh-mellows” and Alice and Maverick are “mom. Mom. Mom. Moooooooommmmmmm.”

Im thinking about starting Grooming school in the next few weeks to learn how to give puppy cuts 🙂

Right now I CAN cut & grind nails*, and I can trim the “grinch paws” as we call them over here. I can also give baths* (per request) to all of my daycare pups! Feel free to ask if that’s something you guys would like me to do!

*There will be an addition fee per added to the weekly balance

04/07/2022

Good Morning!!

I had a few of you guys message me about things we needed over here, and a friend suggested I make an Amazon wish list. For those of you that asked- these are some things needed (and several wants, not NEEDS)

I did end up throwing all of my daycare items I intend on getting in the next little bit, so please don’t feel like you need to get the big items! (Paw clippers, grooming tools and all the rest of the big…)

The biggest things are toy replacements and towels/blankets.

IF you feel like you wanted to get something, and you end up finding it cheaper somewhere else OR it’s something different, but you think the pups will love it- please feel free! We’re all about saving money!!!

Please do NOT feel obligated to send us anything!! It was just easier to make this post, rather than message the single people who have asked 🙂

As always, give your baby nose boops & butt scritches for me!!!

🐾 ❤️ 🐶

It may be another muddy day over here at Casa De DOGi fur….. but, we are now cleaned, warm and ready for a nap after playing hardcore in the mud today ❤ 🐶 🐾

PleAse excuse our mud filled bathroom!!! It will definitely need a good scrub after this!!

03/25/2022

I totally realized I keep going MIA on you guys over here! I am NOT good when it comes to Facebook updates!

But, I did want you fill you guys in on some new happenings over here!
With spring finally here, it means summer is on the way and SUMMER means VACATIONS!

We are able to open up more boarding reservations starting the second week of April, go ahead and message us NOW so that your pup has their spot saved for his vacation, while you go on yours! ( I can not guarantee spots will be available for your desired timeframe without a reservation made in advanced.)

For all of our friends who are , or know a travel nurse coming into our area- please let them know about us! I do have a flexible hours plan and a few more perks for my nurses in the area!!

With Daycare availability we now have a few changes. Most of my travel nurses will be ending their contracts soon and moving on to their next contract. Starting the month of April, we have 4 full time spaces open and 3 part time spaces open!

Whats the dish with daycare? I work on implying your pup’s manners throughout the day. They have access to the downstairs portion of the house, the yard and sometimes we even load up in the car and go for Drooling out the Window Rides to Klines!

Basic manners implied are included but not limited to- no counter surfing, no eating out of the trash can, no jumping on people/kids, learning how to safely interact with the little kids and walking on leashes with big kids and adults. We don’t just run out the door and attack the mailman, we don’t bark excessively to get our way and we learn about confidence building. There’s so many more to add to the list, but it comes down to what we are expecting them to do at home- it gets reinforced here 🙂 (I also reinforce impulse control here , as well!!)

Please feel free to reach out if you have ANY questions at all or to receive more information on daycare hours, days and rates!

I can’t do Nicky’s Doggy Taxi as much anymore due to these outrageous gas prices, but when we do- it’s a trip 😂 😝

03/11/2022

It’s also a good day for naps on the couch, and a fluffy blanket 😂 🤣

03/11/2022

It’s a good day for naps and sun bathing 🙂

Good morning my friends!!! I realized I have not updated anyone lately on the happenings over here. But the snow, ice and mud has us like 🥶 and 🧼 🚿

As my friends found out yesterday, baths/spray downs will be happening rather frequently due to the snow/mud/slush that is still outside! I try very hard not to send babies home muddy, but please excuse us if it does happen. Perks of the game 😉

With that being said, we are running out of dog friendly towels, dog shampoo and warm blankets!

If anybody has any old towels/comforters/blankets they would be willing to donate- it would be greatly appreciated!! I’m currently washing laundry constantly so that I can keep your babies going home as clean as possible!

If you have some to donate (we will gladly take ANY dog items or cleaning supply donations as well! You wouldn’t believe it, but mud travels just as much as glitter!) I can either pick up, or feel free to drop them at the door! Just let me know what works best for you!!!

And if anybody works/lives on a farm and can help me get my hands on bales of straw- PLEASE message me!!!!

My furry friends and I thank you!!!

01/10/2022

I need help from you guys!!! Please be my eyes!!

I’m looking for cheap cheap cheap clearanced dog toys! My stash is officially running low! Please message me when you find some, and I’ll try to get there asap to get them! (Or, if you feel like getting them and donating them to the babies here- it would be very appreciated!!)

Also the same with moving blankets and old comforters!

I’m also looking for a vehicle to use as a “Dog Taxi”. Something as a box van that I can refurbish to meet my needs, a sedan or a van. Anything that I can use to transport 4-5 dogs at a time without continuing to use my own personal vehicle (mine can’t take the wear/tear anymore). Toyota preferred, but will look at any option. $2000 or less would be the budget here. (Unless one of you want to trade daycare/boarding/training 😉)

Please let me know what you guys see out there!!!!

Thank you!!!

As the Year 2021 comes to an end, I want to thank you all for the support you have given us this year!

I am so Blessed to have met all of you, and for you to trust me with your furbabies during the day!

We will be closed until Monday morning, to spend it with the kids and our own personal puppers.

We will see you all bright and early starting Monday morning! And please feel free to reach out if you’re interested in one of the open daycare spots we still have available!

I hope you all have a Safe and Fun New Year’s Eve, and that many blessings are headed your way for 2022!

((Give puppers some love and snacks for me!!))

Good Morning!!!!!

Just wanted to update you all!

We have 2 new openings for full time daycare! Monday- Friday 7a-6p
And we will have 2 more by the end of January.

Puppies get tons of play time and socialization, and I imply house manners with them.

What does “implying house manners” mean? It means anything you would expect for them at home, I do here.
•Not allowed on furniture? I’ll respect that.
• No counter surfing? We don’t allow that either!
•Jumping on you? I teach a manding behavior
•Not allowed to steal food? We work w/ leave it!
•Running out the door? We work on that as well!
•Crate struggle? Tell me, and I got you covered!

My dogs here are allowed supervised “freedom” in the house. Any thing that my dogs are allowed to do, others are allowed to do (all within reason!). We have a semi structured schedule. Pups come in, we get breakfast started. I feed everybody separately, not all in the same area. My big dogs take some rest time after eating as a preventative measure for Bloat, and then we play! We have tons of toys so hopefully there’s a toy that becomes a Favorite for everyone.

We do canine enrichment activities. The favorite so far have been snuffle mats. (Let me know if you’re interested in your own snuffle mat for home!) We do short training sessions throughout the day. And if it happens to be a bad weather day, you can usually find us curled up in the living room with a movie on, and learning how to be in each other’s space without causing major issues.

I’ve been told by almost every mom/dad that their pups love to come hang out for the day! Should you need reassurance on that part, feel free to message me and I can get you in touch with a few people 🙂

If this is something that interests you and your fluffy friend, please feel free to reach out!!! Don’t be afraid to ask your questions, I understand that you’ll need to know me as much as I need to know you/your pup!

Have an amazing day!!!
~Nicky

My meet and greets should officially come with a warning!

🚨 ⚠️ If you don’t like dirty wet dogs, we are NOT the right fit for you ⚠️ 🚨

😂 I really do try so hard to wipe everybody down before they go home….. but sometimes- we need a full on bath
