Your dog can feel happy
when you're away!
You'll feel relaxed about your dog when you're out of town and know they are loved and happily playing with doodle furriends!
(they might even have a better trip than yours!)
You know they will build their confidence & social skills as they are only playing with other healthy doodles who have been screened by careful temperment tests & have up to date vaccinations.
They return home as allergy-friendly as they left.
No husky or lab hair to be found.
They stay clean in the yard year-around playing on top-of-the-line artificial turf & play with other dogs that GET their unique play style!
Featured In:
You want your dog to have best furriends & setting up doggie playdates is hard with a busy schedule.
(and sometimes your friend's dog isn't the most well-mannered playmate- awkward!)
You feel at peace snuggling your doodle on your couch at night, scrolling your phone, watching tv, and rubbing their belly.
You sometimes pause and wonder if your doodle is as happy and healthy as they can be.
been there.
You want a place you trust and know your dog loves as much (sometimes even more- gasp!) than home.
You want your doodle to have more exercise and have regular furriends they love to play with.
You'd feel excited about your doodle's visit and know they are having socialization & enrichment they couldn't have at home (even though you'll miss them so!).
While you'll never not miss them, it's time to feel good about traveling!
“I have peace of mind knowing he’s well taken care of in a loving home. The shed free stay is also a worry free stay!”

“Whether it be napping by the fireplace or playing outside, your dog is sure to feel right at home. It’s awesome to be able to feel so at ease while away from your babies. Seriously couldn’t recommend her enough!”

Shed Free Stay™
Boarding & Daycare
Introducing the only professional boarding program exclusively for non-shedding dogs- led by me, a pro trainer in a cozy home environment!
Here's what's included:
-
Personal care from The Doodle Pro™
Featuring boarding through my trainer's lense, building your doodle's confidence when away from home with positive reinforcement methods only. -
Sophisticated socialization
Through my professional training, I help match your doodle with the best playmates for their style and energy. As an expert in canine body language, I can notice subtle signs that your dog is uncomfortable or needs intervention that other common facilities wouldn't. -
Convenience and peace of mind
Receive daily report cards detailing your dog's play, eating, sleeping, and yes...even pottying habits while they're here. Our phenomenal photos will make missing them hurt just a little less. Schedule online through our app whenever it's convenient to you, no phone calls or back and forth emails. -
Luxurious play yard and cozy features
Dogs romp mud-free year around on our top of the line artificial turf, covered by shade sales as they hear our fountain run and the squirrels and birds rustle in the trees above. On cold days they sit by the fire with us on a large leather sectional and on warm days they can choose to sunbathe on the deck overlooking the treetops. Their paws are safe from injury on traditional cement kennel flooring. -
No nickel and diming, it's all included.
You can drop off in the morning and pick up the next evening, no daycare surcharge during overnights. Pupsicles, 1:1 walks, enrichment, workout on the doggy treadmill, belly rubs, administering medication? All included!
your doodle deserves more than "good enough"

kind words
"HIGHLY RECOMMEND!"
“Recently having moved to Denver, I knew I wanted to find someone that could create a comfortable home environment for my dog. Corrine has given me a peace of mind knowing my dog is getting 24/7 love and attention. Scheduling, pickup and drop off is a breeze! “
– Madeline C.
"no one better"
There is no one better than Corinne, The Doodle Pro! Moose is thrilled when we drop him off for a stay and we are confident that he is in the best of hands! It has become his home away from home and we are so appreciative.
– Olivia M.
You could travel less instead.
Will your family be disappointed or your boss unhappy?
Sure, you COULD bring them with you on your trip.
But then the trip is centered around when you're letting the dog out & skipping activities dogs can't join.
But wait, did you consider trying to find a housesitter?
That could work, but you worry they are so bored without you & they don't get the additional enrichment & socialization they need.

The Doodle Pro
I'm Corinne and I was destined to work with doodles.
Always one to play by the rules, I got the fancy degrees and rose in my education and counseling career. I pushed my childhood dream of working with dogs aside. It was too impractical- I'm allergic to most of them! (heartbreaking!)
Into my life walked poodles and doodles and I haven't turned back!
No other professional dog trainer has as much experience directly working with the variety and quantity of doodle mixes and I'm thrilled to share my hard-earned formal education and hands-on expertise to make your life with your doodle as joyous as it should be!
The doodle pro™ isn't for all dogs
Your dog is a fit if…
on the
fence?

Frequently Asked Questions
That's okay! The younger the faster they adjust but adults do settle in nicely too (as long as they are usually relaxed around other dogs or new people). I recommend doing a daycare or two or a short overnight before a long stay to ensure they're most comfortable.
Non-shedding doodles of all varieties are our most common guests. We also enjoy our havanese, poodle, shih tzu, bichon, wheaten, maltese, Portuguese Water Dogs, and other non-shedding breeds.
A Shed Free Stay™ is a easy stay for you to pack for! Please pack your dog's food (we don't want to introduce a new diet and upset their stomach), treats if they have allergies, and their leash/harness.
Leave toys, bowls, crate, beds, etc. at home. We've got an abundance sanitized and ready for your visit.
No! We find the long trips easiest for our guests as they really settle into a routine0 but hardest for US! Why? They REALLY feel like part of our family and saying goodbye is the hardest. Even monthlong stays end with a joyful reunion with their pawents.
17 weeks is usually the youngest. They need to have finished their vaccination schedule (usually by 16 weeks) plus 1 week to build up immunities.
