My Home

Dogs' Choice is uniquely situated near the end of a dead end road in a rural area, with a large yard and a large body of fresh tidal water on one side of my house and a forest with trails across the road.  I limit the number of dogs to 2 or 3 to provide more personal attention and better commraderie between the dogs.  I have central air conditioning for hot days and a wood stove in case power goes out in winter.  Dogs can sleep where they wish.  Comfort is guaranteed.    

We feature fun, unique activities which include but are not limited to:  Swimming, Canoeing, or Stand-Up Paddle Boarding, Running/Walking on sandbars, mudflats, or on forest trails, light agility training,  skijoring, "Brain Games" like searching for hidden treats, and more.  Safety is always a priority as well as the dogs' ability and desire or disdain for certain activities.

I am a former national and world level paddler, a certified Water Safety Instructor, and a certified Paddling Instructor.  I have also been a competitive swimmer since the age of 12 and continue to train for triathlons and personal fitness.  I have assisted many dogs to learn how to swim effectively.  All dogs wear life jackets during deep water activities.  Fun is important, but your dog's safety is my top priority in all activities.  In short, your dog is in good hands.
