Will my dog interact with other dogs?List Item 2
The relaxation and safety of each canine client is our top priority. As such, we do not allow the dogs to directly interact unless they live in the same household, or we have express permission from both owners. Canine College emphasizes personalized one-on-one care between our caring staff members and your dog.
