About Cairn-Dale Farm Pet Resort: Boarding Kennel, Training, and Grooming Salon

What it is

A farm-based boarding, daycare, grooming and training business, running under the same family since 1961. "Cairn Dale Farm est. 1961," "Family owned for 3 Generations," and "Speaking dog for over 64 years!"

The training

Offered in several shapes: "We offer stay and train, group classes, workshops, and private training sessions, for all age dogs." The first step is free: "FREE TRAINING CONSOLATION: One of our trainers will sit down with you and discuss your training goals to find out what option best suits your needs." The training section leads with its own slogan: "WE TEACH HUMANS TO SPEAK DOG!"

Boarding and daycare

Boarding is pitched at the owner's worry: "Leaving your pet at a boarding kennel can be a heartbreaking experience if you are not sure about the quality of the care they will be given. We believe that we have the answer to your concern." Daycare is described as enrichment-based and positioned against the local norm: "Our Dog Daycare is different than any other in our area. We saw a need for pets and their pet parents that wasn't being met by the typical dog daycare; personalized attention. Our daycare will stimulate their unique physical, mental and emotional needs."

Grooming

"Pamper your fur baby at our in house spa! We offer a wide variety of grooming services. We can schedule your pet's groom during boarding to maximize your time!"

It is an actual farm
