Training
Our Trainers have developed several training programs to fit you and your pup! Training from the very beginning all the way through adulthood is key to raising your pup to be the best canine citizen. We also have private training available that will be customized to best fit you and your pups needs.
Shelter and rescue program
We will perform consults and evaluations on a case-by-case basis. The initial consultation can be performed at the shelter or the HALO facility.

Cat Behavior
Cats can be described as independent, moody, and lazy. There’s nothing wrong with that, right? However, sometimes these behaviors can become troublesome.
Cats cannot verbally tell you what is troubling them and it is up to us to observe the behavior to explain it. If your cat suddenly stops using the litter box or picking fights with the other pets in the home, there could be underlying medical issues. Always contact your veterinarian for advice and a thorough medical exam first!
Once the physical aspect of your cat is examined and the behavior continues, it is time to reach out for help. Deanna Knoth specializes in cat behavior and can provide you with guidance and support.
If you are interested in having a Cat Behavior Consultation, please submit the request below and she will be in contact with you.
Consultation Fee: $275
Boarding
HALO offers a unique service of behavior boarding to our pet owners. (Please note that your dog must be an established behavior client with HALO for this service.)
During your pet’s stay he will be housed in an 10×10 room containing a day bed, tv, essential oil diffuser, and a camera for the behaviorist to monitor your pet during his/her stay. It is truly a home away from home in a safe, stress free environment.
Behavior Boarding Cost:
$100 for one dog
$70 for second dog
$40 for third dog.
To reserve a cottage for your dog(s) instead of a standard room, a flat fee of $100 per night is required in addition to the stand rates per dog listed above.
Behavior boarding for these dogs requires special protocol for things such as resource guarding, separation anxiety, dog/person aggression, or special attention during their stay. This is established by our behaviorist at the time of intake consultation. There is a $100 NONREFUNDABLE deposit is required to secure the reservation. Payment of the FULL invoice is due upon pickup.
Drop off time is between 4 pm and 6 pm, and pick up time is between 9 am and 11 am. Drop offs and pick ups outside of these timeframes require advance approval. If we have the space to accommodate your request, an early drop off or late pick up will require an additional fee of $50.
As a reminder, your dog(s) must be current on all vaccines a the time of their stay. Proof of vaccinations must be provided at the time the boarding reservation is made. Our facility requires dogs receive the Bordetella vaccine every 6 months for their safety.
