Where every dog feels at home.
At Riptide Thunder Kennels, we specialize in Puppy Head Start Training, Obedience Training and Boarding all while providing a safe, fun, and relaxing environment for every dog. Here at Riptide Thunder Kennels, we treat every dog like a member of our family.
Our Services
Our Puppy Head Start program is designed for puppies between 8 and 24 weeks old, which is when a puppy is at their most important stage of learning and development. This program focuses on building confidence in the young puppy, basic puppy commands, and proper puppy socialization.
Our Board & Train program is designed for dogs 24 weeks and older. This program begins by teaching essential everyday commands that your dog will rely on for life. Once your dog has a solid foundation, we customize the training to fit your specific goals and needs.
We provide both overnight and day boarding to all dogs that are up to date on their vaccinations. Rest assured knowing that your dog will enjoy a comfortable, climate controlled environment, will be monitored 24/7 and be able to participate in fun dog-friendly activities while you are away.
