When attempting to explain what Pet Galaxy
is all about, it is easy to succumb to clichés such as “we are different” or “we
really love pets”. Most people in this industry would naturally describe
themselves and their business that way. Yet if you tour many of these “luxury
boarding” or “premium” pet resorts, you all too often find the same old thing;
dogs trapped inside their sleeping quarters for days or even weeks. Even upscale
resorts that advertise “outdoor play yards”, often forget to mention that the
size of their play yards really is too small to allow for much playing – let
alone running.
When designing the ultimate pet resort from a dog’s
perspective, we need to remember that most dogs have lots of energy that they
need an outlet for. This is known as “predatory energy”, and as most dog owners
know all too well; if Fido doesn’t get his walk or playtime when he expects it,
he will let you know.
The other thing to keep in mind when designing the
ultimate pet resort from a dog’s perspective is that canines have these big
noses which they love to play detective with. When dogs see a bush or a tree,
they don’t admire its beauty – they sniff it to get a history of what other
animals and dogs have visited that place before.
Pet Galaxy is all about providing the
ultimate vacation for your pets – not simply from a human perspective, but
from your furry friend’s own perspective. That’s why we are located on six acres with
multiple play yards – the largest of which is one acre. This is also why we don't
cover our play yards with manmade so called “K9 Grass”, which is no more
than an outdoor plastic carpet that has been painted green to resemble grass.
Our outdoor play yards are not even covered by a manmade lawn – because a
manicured lawn can be really boring for a four legged detective, similar to placing a five year old
child in an empty room and telling him to enjoy himself.
Our outdoor play yards feature natural ground cover,
lots of oak trees that serve both as shade and as home for local squirrels, in
ground ponds and pools for cooling down on hot summer days, and lots of
interesting places to sniff and investigate every day.
We naturally also realize that some pet owners prefer
to have their pets play inside instead. For these pets we feature an indoor
activity room full of squeaky toys, comfy coaches, a fireplace and a large flat
screen TV.
All activities and play areas are supervised by our
trained staff at all times.
But don’t just take our word for how wonderful your
best friend will think we are. Come take a tour yourself and see with your own
eyes why we are so proud of our resort. After all, your furry friend is counting
on you to make the right decision for him or her. Come find out for yourself
what so many of our regular clients have already witnessed – that as soon as
they turn off the highway to our driveway, their dog’s tail starts wagging.
What Customers Are Saying
Anne and Bryant Sloten, June 20, 2011
My husband Bryant and I had the good fortune to have our dog,
Taffy, in personal training with you for 3 weeks in May. Thank you, thank you, Frank for training
Taffy in such a way that she is now the pet dog we always wanted and had hoped she would be. You have
made a huge difference in our Taffy's life and ours as well. Taffy's disposition has improved DRAMATICALLY.
Before your training she was frenetic, overactive, hyper, demanding and was just generally "high strung".
After training she is now MUCH calmer, is non-demanding, appears to be much less stressed and seems happier,
more content. We strongly believe your training techniques and philosophy of showing your pet that "you're
the boss...they don't have to be in charge anymore guessing as to what the right thing to do is" has produced
this calmness in Taffy that was not present prior to your training. Also, her response to commands is nothing
short of miraculous and thanks to your training techniques we have been able to cut down drastically on the
amount of treats Taffy gets for good behavior and have, as you instructed, substituted verbal praise.
It really works. We appreciate not only the time and patience you showed to Taffy, our precious pet, but also
the time you spent with us teaching us to be better "bosses". We are grateful to you and thank you so much for
the difference you have made.

We could not be more pleased with the service oriented
environment Pet Galaxy has provided us and a 16-month-old,
eighty pound mix breed named Molly. If Molly could talk, she would tell you that
the care she receives from Pet Galaxy is the best. Molly is a
regular for boarding, training and play days and she cannot get out of the car
fast enough when we arrive. She charges into the office to greet owners Lynn and
Frank and any other staff in her path. Frank and Lynn have created a pet
resort that offers expertise in training programs, safe and comfortable boarding
facilities and the best play times for your pet. Their professional
integrity is evident in all aspects of their services. They care as much
as about your pet as you do, and we see the remarkable results of Molly's
training program every day.

Mike and I were going to try several kennels before
deciding on a final, all-the-time place, but the dogs seem so happy
so we're staying with Pet Galaxy.
