Yard Playtime at Zen Paws has been created to be dog oasis where dogs can be off leash in a fully fenced large multi level semi woodland, semi open space. Perfect for dogs with inconsistent or poor recall who can't be off leash in open areas, dogs who don't feel comfortable with unknown dogs or people, dogs who love to run and play with a buddy, or dogs who want to sniff and explore, or try out a tunnel, jump, tether ball, and more.

Important notes about behavior for dogs

We ask that you are completely transparent and honest and tell us upfront about behaviors.

If your dog has ever been aggressive toward or threatened a non-threatening dog or person, or cat inside a home, we ask that you are completely transparent and honest about it prior to the meet and greet / assessment visit. 

Depending on the situation, we may be able to provide services. For example, we often walk dogs solo, so we might consider

walking a dog solo who doesn't consistently interact well with other dogs, and rather than board in our home, we would consider

caring for with visits to your home when you are away - which many of our clients do regardless, because their dogs are more content at home.

Questions to ask yourself about this to help clarify the issue:

Has my dog ever nipped anyone? why? Has he ever threatened anyone? Why? Has anyone ever told me she has (even if I didn't see it

myself)?  Does my dog act overly protective of me even if there is no true danger?  When/in what situation is my dog protective of

me? of our home? Has my dog ever threatened, bit, or attacked another dog? a cat? other? Why? (protective of food bowl? toy? bone? or seemingly

out of the blue?) Is there a pattern - ie certain types / color of dogs? or certain people (our dog is afraid of people with tools) ?

Does my dog ever lunge at other dogs while walking on leash? Has my dog ever threatened a welcomed visitor to my home (growled at, charged, nipped, bit, knocked over, excessively barked at)? Does my dog immediately comply to my commands to stop & come to me during such an event?

Has my dog ever hurt another dog due to being aggressive (versus accidentally during running  / playing)?

Has he/she ever hurt a person due to aggression (versus accidentally during play)?

Hurt = all of these: bruising, muscle /physical strain, breaking the skin. 

Has my dog ever cornered someone? Frightened someone? What were the circumstances? 

Are you ever afraid of your dog? When? Under what circumstances?

Is my dog afraid of anything? Thunder? Hats? Vacuum? etc.

​

Assessment Visit required for first time boarders minimum of 2 weeks prior to boarding. We assess your

dog's comfort in our home and behavior with our pets and family. Usually occurs after a meet and greet.

Owners drop off dog for appointment. 60 minutes: $45. Sometimes can be combined with a meet and greet.

​

Cats and Small / Caged Pet Care at Client's Home

1-4 small pets, at owner's home: $30. per visit (feed, water, litter scoop 1-2 boxes, mail take in, watering 1-4 plants)

For more than 4 small pets, or multiple fish tanks / habitats: $35-$40.  (+ $7.50 Weekends, +$15 Holiday Periods)

Full cage / habitat cleaning or full litter box clean / change: $20 per. Partial habitat cleaning: $10.
