StressLess Dog Care

StressLess Dog Care is a home-based dog training and boarding business at 4016 W. Hatcher Road in Phoenix, AZ, built around board-and-train camps. Its dog boarding in Phoenix, called the Bed & BarkFast Inn, is open to dogs that have already finished one of its training camps. It fits best for owners who want training first and overnight stays later.

What services does StressLess Dog Care offer?

Training is the core of the business, and the other services grow out of it. The site describes its camps as a way for dogs to learn to see their owner as a trusted leader.

• Board-and-train camps, with a free leash, collar, and place cot included with a dog's first camp
• Mobile in-home private lessons, so owners can work with their dog on familiar ground
• Custom programs for dogs with reactivity or aggression
• Bed & BarkFast Inn boarding for camp alumni
• Grooming services

How is it different from a typical kennel?

Boarding here is not open to every dog. It is reserved for dogs that have been through camp, and the stated goal is to keep their training sharp while the owner is out of town. Camp alumni also get lifelong follow-up support, which helps owners whose questions come up months after training ends.

The business keeps a practical focus. Its site talks about everyday problems like leash pulling, jumping on guests, counter surfing, chewing furniture, and excessive barking.
