Overnight Boarding

Michael has been training dogs for over ten years now and has a wide background of different training skill sets. His specialties include but are not limited to; teaching foundational obedience skills for pet dogs, training for competitive obedience, agility, behavioral modification for issues related to fear, aggression, and rehabilitation of dogs with socialization issues whether they be with people or dogs. He truly embraces the challenge of creating custom training plans to fit each individual client's needs, and being a life long support system for any issues that may occur. He has four personal dogs; two Belgian Malinois named Maui and Zulu, a street dog from India named Charlie, and an Akita puppy named Raya. Training for him is a family business so they are all heavily involved in the process of helping his clients and their dogs.

Vance is one of the most loving, free spirited individuals you will ever meet. His super power is empathy and compassion for people as well as the animals he cares for. He has been working at The Raja for almost three years now and is an invaluable member of our care staff with a vast amount of knowledge concerning the management of multi dog environments and all the different dynamics present within a group with many personalities. He always moves with thoughtfulness and compassion, and is our most trusted asset in the care of the animals. He has a challenging rescue Chihuahua mix named Griffey who would have been put down because of his bite risk had Vance not stepped forward to save his life.

Adam's addition has been one of the driving forces in our ability to help service more clients as our driver. He is the person your dog is most excited to see as he takes them to their favorite place. He is a gentle giant who once had to rescue a client dog who couldn't get down the stairs while her mother was 8 months pregnant, and is always willing to step forward to do anything to help our clients. He has also helped facilitate care for many of our most challenging clients with difficult dogs, handling them with safety and care.
