Yes. At Martindale Kennels we have extensive experience working with dogs that are reactive, fearful, or have a history of aggression or biting. Our training and handling approach focuses on calm leadership, clear communication, and creating a structured environment where dogs can feel safe and learn more appropriate behaviors. Every dog is assessed individually so we can determine the safest and most effective approach for their care, training, or grooming. In some cases, we may recommend specific training programs or conditioning sessions to help the dog become more comfortable with handling and routine care. For the safety of our staff and the dogs in our care, it is very important that owners fully disclose any history of aggression, reactivity, or biting when booking services. This allows us to plan appropriately and ensure the best possible experience for your dog. If you are unsure whether your dog is a good candidate for our services, please contact us and we would be happy to discuss your dog's specific needs.

Your dog’s comfort and safety are always our top priority. Our team is experienced in working with nervous, fearful, or reactive dogs and takes a calm, patient approach to help them feel safe. We carefully watch each dog’s body language and adjust the grooming process to their comfort level, taking breaks or slowing down when needed. If a dog is very stressed, we may recommend our Grooming Conditioning Program, which helps dogs gradually build confidence with grooming through positive, structured sessions. Our goal is to create a safe and positive experience for your dog while ensuring the safety of both your pet and our staff.

Martindale Kennels is more than a doggy daycare because adding boarding enrichment turns every stay into a structured learning and development experience. Instead of just supervised play, dogs receive purposeful activities like treadmill work, confidence building, and training exercises that burn energy, build skills, and support calm behavior. This enrichment helps dogs return home not only tired, but more balanced, confident, and mentally fulfilled.

Our kennels are temperature controlled with heated floors, bright light and plenty of space for your pup to feel at home. https://static.wixstatic.com/media/undefined We also have other spaces for dogs to stay in our facility. Dogs are placed according to size and temperament. There is a completely seperate boarding area for cats and small animals.
