FAQS
Where will my pet stay?
We have two options: Facility Care and In Home Care. The only difference is the sleeping arrangements at night time! Regardless, we have cameras on the pups at all times, and our facility is two steps away from our home!
We have so many options to keep your pup as comfortable and as stress free as possible! Let’s chat about it!
What are your methods?
Take Flight believes in training the dog in front of you. There is never going to be a “one size fits all” method. We do believe that dog’s are man’s best friend, but they can also make selfish decisions to meet their own needs first and disregard us at times. Many dog’s believe that we are speaking a foreign language when we request behaviors, so it is very important to motivationally teach our dogs the definitions of our words and define our cues clearly before moving forward.
Are you insured and certified?
Of course! We are firm believers in proving ourselves as trainers within the industry, and have sat a National Exam to become certified, and also compete with our own dogs to stay with the times, and with science! Our insurance covers all of the dogs on the property, and in our vehicles in case of an emergency!
What is your availability for services like?
Boarding pick up/drop off and training appointments are offered seven days a week. Training appointments are customizable. Hours for drop off and pick up up must be scheduled at a set time between the hours of 8:30-12 and 4-6 pm. Owner’s live on the premises and see other customers, take care of other pets and have their own family time to plan around. They ask that folks be punctual to their appointments within a 30 minute window. This means not beyond 15 minutes before or not beyond 15 minutes after to avoid an off schedule fee. You may update them in a timely manner via text or phone call and receive confirmation if moving a pick up or drop off time.
How does Take Flight reduce germs and minimize airborne illnesses?
The A.C. system at their facility is on two separate zones and has a brand new, built in air purification system to reduce germs and keep air in the grooming room separate from boarding friends. Dogs do not share water bowls unless they live together, and bowls are washed daily. Take Flight uses KennelSol to sanitize and clean the environment and kill any icky germs that might be brought on to the property.
What is the schedule like for dogs that board with you?
Boarding dogs go out starting at 7 am in the morning, and go back out again after their breakfast and refreshed water settles in their bellies, by 9:30-10 am. Mid day is for various enrichment activities both inside and outside. Sniff Walks, snuffle time, play groups, walks, treadmill time, training sessions, more potty breaks, etc. Training Dogs have a structured day and are learning from every interaction, but their routine might vary based on their target focuses for that day. Evening food time begins around 6:30 pm and potty time ends at 8:45 pm unless the dog is special needs, or a puppy that needs a late night break. If your dog free feeds, or eats 3 x a day, please let us know and we will add them to our mid day meal list! The goal is for every dog to be comfortable, clean and bright eyed!
