Best Friends Fur Ever
Overview
Best Friends Fur Ever dog daycare is comprised of a two-acre fenced-in playground and a 5,000-square-foot playroom for members to get all of the exercise they need on a daily basis while they romp, splash water in the pool area, tussle, and learn to socialize with other pets. At Best Friends Fur Ever, in Joppa, Maryland, dog owners can choose from many services including daycare, sleepover night care, home care, training, and salon and spa care.
Through Best Friends Fur Ever’s levels training services, dog owners learn to teach their own dogs by implementing new concepts and training skills in three stages: beginner, advanced, and expert. At Best Friends Fur Ever, dogs receive a complete obedience experience.
At the beginner stage, Best Friends Fur Ever’s trainers help owners learn how to reinforce desired behaviors, potty train their dogs, teach them house manners, and more. Meanwhile, their dogs learn simple commands such as sit, loose leash walk, come, watch me, and jump.
The advanced stage at Best Friends Fur Ever, designed for dog-and-owner teams that have mastered the beginner lessons, involves teaching more complex behaviors such as heel, long stays, and how to stay with distractions. Additionally, in the advanced stage, owners learn the proper use of training collars.
Owners with dogs who have graduated to the expert stage at Best Friends Fur Ever train their pets to heel without a leash and to stay when their owners leave the area, all without giving them treats or other training aids.
In addition to the levels training classes, Best Friends Fur Ever also offers two options for owners who would prefer to have their dogs trained for them: Day-N-Train (DNT) and Board-N-Train (BNT). In Day-N-Train, dogs receive expert instruction while in daycare. BNT combines 30 days of boarding in Best Friends Fur Ever’s caring environment, with continuous, intensive training. Customers may arrange home visits and weekend trips during the BNT period. However, it is important that dogs enrolled in the BNT program receive consistent training.
With first-rate and full-service grooming facilities, the skilled groomers at Best Friends Fur Ever Salon and Spa provide the most intricate and complex cuts and styles. Other specialized grooming options at Best Friends Fur Ever include breed standard cuts, hand scissoring, bath and brush-out services, special rinses, conditioners, and colognes. Once members arrive at Best Friends Fur Ever, they may play during the morning hours and relax at the Dog Spa and Salon in the afternoon.
Dog owners who prefer to shampoo their pets themselves can also come in to Best Friends Fur Ever and do so. Owners have access to two dog wash stations at Best Friends Fur Ever, with tall walk-in tubs, herbal shampoos, conditioners, grooming tools, and a custom station where their canines’ coiffures can be dried quickly.
