We LOVE Graced Kennels! We have three dogs and this is the one boarding facility that they all seem to look forward to visiting. Cherish, Jimmy and the rest of the team will go above and beyond what is necessary to make sure that the animals are well taken care of and that I know my dogs are well taken care of. Not to mention how flexible and easy to work with they all are. We were expecting our first baby during Master's Week, but as it goes with babies, we had no idea exactly *when* the little guy was finally going to make an appearance and we worried about what to do with the pups if we had to make a dash to the hospital unexpectedly. No worries. Cherish allowed us to make reservations for this VERY busy time a few months in advance to make sure there were spots for them and then didn't have a problem when we had to keep adjusting the dates. After the baby arrived, Cherish suggested having friends drop off blankets that the baby had been wrapped in to give to the dogs so that they would be familiar with the new smells and make the transition back home with a new (and unknown) family member easier. She sent me videos of the staff giving the dogs the blankets and kept us updated on their response. I also love the variety of outdoor activities available to the dogs-pools, jolly balls...you name it. I never worry about our trio getting bored or just sitting in a cage with no stimulation. In addition to the boarding facility, Cherish also offers dog training, and our Lab/Pit mix, who has somewhat of a "different" personality went through her Doggie Bootcamp program. It was money well spent! Not only was she able to get a read on his problem behavior, but pointed out ways for my husband and I to be better and more consistent owners and leaders for all of our dogs. She and Jimmy came out to our house and helped identify ways to address problem behaviors that we were specifically seeing at home. She met me at the park several times to also address ways to deal with his behavior in public. She was very honest with us and I appreciated her thoughtfulness and experience. If it weren't for her help, I don't know that we would have been able to keep this dog in our home-and that was a truly devastating scenario for us. She gave me confidence in the knowledge that we were doing the right thing for our dog. Not to mention the fact that she's just a lovely human being in general. The whole team at Graced Kennels is wonderful.
