Why choose Duke's

Since we are not a corporation we can cater to all of our clients special needs for no extra charge.  For example, a few months ago we were on call day or night for Toby since his dad needed a transplant.  We have clients who have all kinds of medical conditions from allergies to seizures.  We are all about getting to know your dog and it's needs.  We have one Great Dane, Banya,  that won't eat unless I hand feed her.  We know what dogs to match up that will get along great together.  I basically become a second mom to a lot of my clients.

Since I am here almost 24hour a day I can make any dog feel more at ease with some special attention and love. I always recommend a day or two of daycare, before the trip, for any clients who seem to be a little uneasy or one who has never been boarded before.  This helps them to get to know me and the fact that Duke's is a fun place to come.  A large percent of clients have rescued there dogs from shelters or have never boarded them because they didn't want to put them in a cage.

The only health issue we have here is the occasional upset tummy.  I attribute that to the fact that we are very strict about the health of the dogs before they arrive.  Then when they are here they don't have to deal with the stress of constant barking, not being able to play with there friends, or any aggressive dogs.  The stress can do wonders to a dogs health during a stay.  We also use pet safe cleaners that are SO SAFE I can drink it.  We have only had one case of kennel cough in the five years we have been open.

 

The Mission of Duke's Backyard
At Duke's Backyard, we recognize that your dog can feel strained while you are away so we strive to make your dog feel at home playing at Duke's Backyard. Our open-kennel environment allows your pet to freely interact with the staff and other dogs helping with separation anxiety and social skills. The environment stimulates their mind and body, contributing to a happier and healthier dog for you upon your return.

All guests in Duke's Backyard get the same clean, climate-controlled, carefree, loving environment. The play area was designed to promote safe social interaction with the look and feel of a backyard. As part of the open-kennel environment, we don't have separate daycare and boarding areas. Boarded dogs play with the daycare dogs during the day with no additional charge. We have five different play room were we separate them by size and temperament.  We have five different play rooms so we can separate the dogs by size and temperament.  We normally have a relaxation room for older dogs.  A little dog room for dogs under 20 lbs.  The ruff and tumble room is for the large very active dogs.  Then we sometimes have a soft play room for dogs who don't play as ruff, or a very large dog room for big dogs like Great Danes, or a medium size dog room.
