Between my son who is 8 and a half years old and myself, we are both certified in canine CPR and First Aid and have the certificates to back it up. Check out out Facebook page, Rileys Doggy Daycare to see who we are and our photos/videos of our stay. We will take care of your dogs as our own and show them love, fun and patience. It was my sons idea to start a doggy daycare and not for the money but for the doggies he can play with (he's an only child) and has only had dogs as siblings :) your dog will be happy and well taken care of at all times and we do not crate them! In order to start our doggy daycare I made sure to educate us both on the importance of safety and then of course fun so on top of being Canine CPR and First Aid Certified, I had my son take a certified course on dog sitting and we are both currently enrolled in the following course, "Dog Training - Teaching Tricks (Level 1)" which is taught with a clicker and treats and includes tricks such as; Spin Sit Pretty Shake a Paw Play Dead Crawl Weave through your legs Rollover Bow We are looking forward to having your dog stay with us and can guarantee you'll be happy with our love and care of your furry family member.
