Home-Based Boarding
Leaving your dog behind doesn’t have to be stressful—for you or your pup.
Our home-based boarding is designed for small to medium dogs who prefer the comfort of a cozy, calm environment over a busy kennel. Your dog will stay in a welcoming home with plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime in our fully fenced yard, and all the love and care they’re used to.
Need a little extra support while you're away? We also offer daily training, fitness, and enrichment add-ons to help reinforce good behavior and keep your dog’s mind engaged.
Every Animal Can Learn
Every animal—no matter their species—can learn, grow, and thrive through positive, cooperative training. My coaching is designed to strengthen the bond between humans and animals of all kinds, from dogs and cats to foxes, horses, lemurs, and beyond.
Using proven methods, I focus on building trust and understanding first, creating a foundation that makes learning natural and fun. Whether you’re working on daily care behaviors, addressing complex challenges, or simply deepening your connection, I’ll help you and your animal communicate clearly and succeed together.
Struggling with leash pulling, jumping, barking, or just feeling like your dog isn’t listening? You’re not alone, and it’s not too late!
Whether your dog is a puppy learning how to navigate their new home, a teenager testing boundaries, or an adult who missed the basics, I’m here to help. My training is positive, practical, and tailored to fit your dog’s personality and your lifestyle. No punishment, no gimmicks—just clear communication, smart strategies, and a whole lot of support.

Meet Your Trainer
Hi! My name is Michelle Martiya, and I’m a professional animal trainer with a passion for helping animals and their humans communicate more clearly, calmly, and kindly. I believe great training isn’t about control or quick fixes—it’s about understanding how animals learn and creating skills that truly fit real life.
My work focuses on developing clear and consistent communication between humans and animals. When animals understand what’s being asked of them, and humans understand how to communicate with their animals, everything gets easier for both.
