MEET THE OWNER
Clayton Thompson
With years of experience caring for hundreds of dogs, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. My relaxation-based techniques ensure that each animal feels safe and secure. I believe that a calm and nurturing environment is crucial for a pet's well-being. My approach is tailored to individual dogs, allowing them to feel at ease and build trust. This not only enhances their happiness but also strengthens the bond between pet and owner. Whether it's through positive reinforcement, gentle handling, or creating a comforting space, I strive to provide the best care possible. As someone passionate about animal welfare, I am confident that I am the right person to care for your beloved pet.
Meet the Dogs
Barks and Recreation wouldn't be the same without my two dogs, who consider themselves my business partners. While their skills mostly involve napping and demanding snacks, they've made me an expert in all things dog-related. I should introduce the dogs that started it all—without them, this company might not exist.
Frannie
The big-eared leader of the pack and a top-notch therapy dog who brightens lives wherever she goes.
Frannie’s Favs: Tennis Balls and getting gentle scratches on her butt.
floyd
He is such a sweet boy who would roll over and show his belly for just about anyone.
Floyd’s Favs: Swimming, sticks, and tummy rubs…in that order
