Morgan’s experience

  • About Morgan

    Morgan has a strong passion for dogs and their training. Professionally she has been caring for and training dogs since 2015 and then started her own business in 2021. Her various roles have included daycare, boarding, training, and being entrusted by her clients to bring their dogs into her home for extended periods with the board & train program.

  • What makes Morgan’s program special

    Our goal is that our dogs are versatile and can go in any direction you desire to take them whether that is a performance sport dog, a therapy prospective, a hunting/herding partner, or a lifetime family companion. They will be exposed to new environments, multiple surfaces/objects, and a variety of everyday noises. All puppies will also be started on potty training and crate training.
