What Petiquette offers
Every dog and every household is different. Pick where you need help; we'll shape the plan around your goals and specific needs.
In-home basic obedience for puppies and adults, plus behavior-specific work for the things that actually have you stuck. As an AKC Evaluator, Carly also prepares dogs for Canine Good Citizen certification, runs occasional group classes and workshops, and offers Board & Train stays.
Read: why I use positive, science-based training →
For the busy weeks and the high-energy dogs. A brisk neighborhood walk or a real trail hike to burn off steam and keep your dog balanced, booked around your schedule. Bring a second dog along for a little less per pup.
Read: why a slow sniff beats a long walk →
Walk and hike pricing varies a little with location.
When you're away, every animal in your home is treated like Carly's own, not just dogs. Boarding in Carly's home, drop-in visits in your home, or daycare on Fridays only, with photo and video updates so you always know your pets are genuinely happy.
Read: make your dog’s first boarding stay easy →
Puppies under 1 year: +$5 home boarding, +$3 drop-in, +$4 daycare.
Boarding requires proof of vaccination and a recent fecal test.
About Carly
Carly Rosenthal has spent over a decade caring for animals and helping pets and their people understand each other. A certified dog trainer since 2015, she holds a Bachelor of Science in Animal Behavior and the CPDT-KSA credential, a Certified Professional Dog Trainer assessed on both knowledge and hands-on skill, and serves as an AKC Evaluator for the Canine Good Citizen program.
Her approach follows LIMA, Least Intrusive, Minimally Aversive, a positive, science-based method she tailors to each dog and to the specific behaviors you're working toward. No one-size template; the plan is built around your household and your dog.
Most of all, the pets in her care are treated like her own. That's the part the certifications can't print.
Out in the field
Trail hikes, outside adventures, and the everyday care your pets actually get.
In their words
Real recommendations from Petiquette clients.
Carly completed a board-and-train session for our 7-month-old puppy while we were away on vacation and she was amazing! We got multiple updates, photos, and videos each day with her progress. Dolly came home a content, better-mannered, and happy girl! We will utilize Carly again in the future without hesitation.
Sara A. & DollyHighly recommend Carly! We just adopted a bulldog mix who needs a good deal of training. We did one session and she gave us so many great tips and ideas. One week later we're already noticing changes in his behavior. She is extremely responsive and very knowledgeable on animal behavior. I'm excited for our upcoming group session!
Sabrina B. & BiscuitYour dog will love Carly and her in-home dog day or overnight care! It's obvious she loves her pets, and she extended that to our dog too. She is professional and an excellent communicator, she responds to calls, emails, and texts promptly, and sends updates and photos during our dog's stay!
Jennifer J. & WillowCarly was great to work with. Our cat requires shots and is scared around new people. Carly was able to work with her to administer her injection. We were able to have a wonderful vacation without worrying about our pet's care.
Tessa D. & LolaCarly is so great to work with and an excellent trainer. I have two dogs and one is reactive on leash, but I know she is extremely capable to handle it (because she trained me). My other dog is a senior, so our routine is a little complicated, but I shared everything with Carly and she stepped in without missing a beat. I can enjoy the weekend away without any worry. Plus, my dogs love her!
