The resort serves Waxahachie and nearby Ovilla, Red Oak, Midlothian and Glenn Heights, and displays first-place "Best of" awards in dog training, boarding, pet care, daycare and grooming.

Training

The dog training team helps dogs of all ages build the obedience and manners of a good family companion, with a focus on greater understanding and communication between dog and owner. Owners can ask about free puppy socialization.

Boarding and daycare

Boarding guests get private accommodations with soft bedding, temperature control and soothing music, and daycare dogs play in indoor and outdoor yards under supervision. Personalized tours can be scheduled by calling (972) 561-6731.

What to ask

Ask how the training programs are structured, whether they run as lessons, day training or a boarding stay, and what they cost.
