About Paws Up Vacay

What they offer

Paws Up Vacay is a family-run dog boarding, daycare and training business on a farm in Nipomo, built around balanced training, structured days and real farm life.

Training programs

The board and train program has the dog stay Monday to Friday and train while living with the family, joining farm chores, house routines and outings. Each Friday brings a private lesson with the owner, and the dog practices at home on weekends. Goals include loose leash walking, reliable recall, place and settling, polite greetings, confidence, household manners, crate training and basic obedience. Day trains are also offered.

Other services
