THE COUNTRY MUTT
Life is Better on the Farm!
We started our enrichment program for dogs in 2011 while based in Scituate Village - but the dogs have spoken and they prefer the "country" so we moved to 46 private acres in Foster, RI! Because we live here on the property - only clients with appointments can visit our facility. Make an appointment and come for a tour!
OUR SERVICES
We understand life can be busy and complicated, which is why we provide a variety of services to make things easier on you and your furry family. Take a look below to see what we offer and contact us with any questions.
REAL-WORLD TRAINING
A focused partner is possible!
Functional Obedience helps pet parents cultivate a better partnership with their dog.
From teaching the basics to trouble shooting fear, anxiety and undesirable behavior such as "stranger-danger" - we can help!
$50/hour or custom quote
DAYCARE & ENRICHMENT
A calmer partner is possible!
Our Day Enrichment program focuses on safety, fun, relaxation and getting out the "zoomies". Most daily groups range from 10-20 dogs of compatible size,
temperament and play-style.
We do not believe in a pitbull restriction - but pitties must fit all our temperament requirements like every other dog!
Michelle is the proud owner of a fabulous pittie named Joanie (2), a hound mix named Gus (13) and 2 mixes Sasha (10) and Virgil (11).
$40/day or $50/day with van service
BOARDING
A worry-free vacation is possible!
We work hard to make sure your dog feels comfortable and relaxed. Whether it’s their first time away from home, or they’re seasoned regulars, their well-being is central to everything we do. Dogs play in daycare all day or get private leashed hikes and sleep well in the evening!
Owners on premises 24/7!
$45/day... $60/day Weekend & Holiday Rate
