About Net’s Happy Pets

A small training and boarding kennel in Ponder

Net's Happy Pets is a Ponder training, boarding and pet sitting business run by owners Lynette Flint and Michael Gentile. Lynette, the owner and trainer, has been in the animal field for over 30 years and opened Net's Happy Pets full-time in 2017. She handles the private training and board and train programs. The team describes its training as quality, positive-based training, and works with fewer dogs at one time.

Training programs

Board and train runs $450 per week with a two-week minimum. Dogs stay in private air-conditioned and heated indoor kennels with outdoor runs and a large play yard, and every program ends with an in-home follow-up session plus scheduled follow-ups for the next 30 days. Private in-home training uses one-hour sessions at your home or a public place, at $300 for 5 sessions or $550 for 10, with weekly homework. Net's also offers AKC Canine Good Citizen testing from STAR Puppy to CGC Urban, plus service and therapy prep, trick training, and agility and flyball prep.
