Pet boarding/training near Mount Airy

“We are very fortunate to have found Karen and Dreamy Skies. Maizy (our dog of many years) and Violet (our new dog) were having trouble getting along. Maizy seemed outright mean toward Violet, and Violet could be very irritating. We were afraid we might not be able to keep them both. But Karen solved that problem and taught us much, much more.

Karen really connects emotionally with the dogs. She has quite a curriculum that she gives to the owners over an extended period. It is a lot of homework, but if you do it, you and your dogs will be much happier. Karen is fabulous and runs a great business.

Five stars without reservation!“

“I’m always pleased with the care, attention, and support given to my dogs and me every time we visit. I’m also very happy with the grooming service Mel provides at an affordable price.“

“Extremely happy with Green Valley Animal Hospital. I have a very anxious (COVID) dog and they are excellent with her. They are great about keeping notes and adjusting her care as needed. Boarding has been excellent. Highly recommend this vet.“

“I wanted to share this.
We recently had to put our dog Waffles to sleep, he was 16 years old and incurring heart failure.
Not that there’s ever “better timing” to lose your pet, but we had family vacation planned since six months prior and we were to leave the following day. While on vacation, I read on a grief forum about a man whom had to also put his fur baby to sleep due to heart failure as well, and that he got an ink blot of the paw print the day they said goodbye. I had never heard of this, and it made me more upset as I shared this with my husband that I really wish I had known this was something people do so we could have done the same. Well, upon arrival back home from vacation there was a letter that came in the mail from Damascus Vet Hospital. My husband took it inside to read, and as I was still unloading bags, he abruptly came and handed it to me to read. He didn’t want me to wait- I opened the letter, and a beautiful card.. on the front “with sympathy for your loss” with a photo of a heart and silhouette of a dog and cat… on the inside- I dropped my bags and immediately broke into tears. Feeling emotions of solemness, but utmost gratitude and happiness because, above a cursive writing of our fur baby’s name, “Waffles” was his ink blot paw print. I am forever grateful to have this, as it wasn’t something we could have thought of in the time of chaos and confusion of decision making to put our pet out of his suffering… Waffles paw print is kept in a special place. A gesture so small and perhaps insignificant to many, moved me so deeply and I couldn’t be more thankful.

“Bethany was fabulous. She gave us great strategies for working with our new pup. We rescued him and now he is well on his way to being a happy and well-socialized dog. We cannot thank Bethany enough for her excellent approach, even in a pandemic, providing insight, feedback and hints to work with our puppy. Having access to the FaceBook page and the other information, including her being accessible by e-mail really helped to supplement what we did in our virtual training meetings. We absolutely cannot rave enough about Bethany and Canine Lifestyle Academy.“
