Dog Training and Boarding at Black Hill Dog Company in Prince edward County

What set’s black hill apart?

Black Hill is a licensed and insured training facility, with a registered veterinary technician on site. With a combined 20 years experience in the pet dog world, our trainers bring you everything you need to know about training your dog.

At black hill dog company, our training plans are as unique as your dog. We offer formatted programs, but build a plan to meet the needs of your dog. Wether you are looking to work on specifics like recall or public access training, or if you want to start at the beginning with the introduction of obedience, we will work with you to make a list of goals and a realistic plan.

Puppies are our passion here at Black Hill. Setting up your new pet for a success future is a top priority. As a result, we have an array of programs designed and built to meet the needs of our clients. Ranging from puppy classes to one on one training including home sessions, whatever your family needs, we are here to offer.

Not every case is easy. Many dogs struggle with difficult behaviours and it can be hard to know where to start. Our behaviour modification program starts with our evaluation and assessment process, which is designed to deep dive into everything about your dog. Depending on the challenging behaviour, a phone consultation or in person assessment at our facility will be required. This helps our trainers truly under the needs of your dog and your family, so we can design the best program possible. We will assess goals, life style, management expectations and training methods that will produce the most manageable results.

At Black Hill Dog Company, we want your dog to feel at home, regardless of their needs. From boarding to training to daycare, we hope that your dog will become part of the Black Hill Family.

Our services

Overnight bOARDING

Our kennel(s) have been designed to meet and exceed all the safety and sanitation needs set out by the Prince Edward County bylaw. Our number one priority is to ensure all pets in our care are safe, clean and comfortable throughout the duration of their stay. Our Upper kennel houses short term boarding pets, as well as dogs who participate in our day programs like our K9 Social Club and day boarding pets. Dog’s who are social, enjoy having neighbours don’t mind the hustle and bustle of a busy day, can enjoy the upper kennel environment. 

Our lower kennel houses our board and train pets, as well as dog’s who are with us for long term or extended boarding. Pet’s who need space socially, enjoy a quiet calm environment, and need more privacy can also enjoy our lower kennel area.

Both housing units are climate controlled (heating and cooling) with both hot and cold water, non permeable flooring and 24 hour surveillance. The facility is located on a 30 acre farm property, with the owners primary residence on site. There are large windows for natural lighting, as well as indoor and out door lighting for year round comfort. All dogs are provided with raised dog cots for comfort, as well as stainless steel bowls and buckets for eating and drinking. Dogs are provided fresh water throughout the day, and are fed twice daily. We do accept more detailed feeding protocols including multiple feeds throughout the day, supplements and medications to be administered when necessary as well as raw feeding. 

All dogs with overnight boarding reservations are here for stay and play fun. This means dogs are out in one of our fenced areas off leash with other dogs, to play, run and explore. Dog’s have ample opportunities through out the day to enjoy play, and have access to wadding pools and shaded areas in the summer, and fun snow paths and wind breakers in the winter months. During down time, dogs are housed in their own private lodging indoors with climate control. 

Socially selective dog’s are assessed on an individual basis by one of our experienced trainers/handlers, are are placed with other dogs that meet their social requirements. 

Dog’s that are not social with other dogs, still receive the same structure and off leash enrichment that stay and play dogs receive, but spend time alone in the off leash areas.
