Facts Everyone Should Know About Citizen Canine: Training & Activities

Citizen Canine is a boarding and training facility for dogs that Tina Merrill began operating in October 2000. It was created to fill a need for the boarding and daycare for dogs. Tina formed a staff that consisted of dedicated dog care professionals who specialized in providing superior training and care for dogs.

The staff enthusiastically assists first-time guests with getting settled in. They also assist with preparing unique meals for the picky eaters and ensuring the guests are comfortable in their beds at night. Staff members are certified Pet Care Technicians, and they are also Pet First Aid and CPR certified.
