WOW - if I could only give more than 5 stars I would! We boarded numerous dogs and cats at Southern Pines during hurricane Florence and cannot say enough about how AMAZING this facility is. The staff are helpful, knowledgeable, and accommodating. They bent over backwards to care for all of our animals. I would HIGHLY recommend this facility Thank you Southern Pines! More...

I was visiting family when a cousin of mine recommended bringing my little dog to this facility so she could get some energy out and make some friends. I'm so glad I did!!! The staff, especially one named Rini, was super friendly and knowledgeable. She gave me advice on training to help curb my pup's bad leash manners and gave her an awesome bath before I brought her home so she smelled amazing. Hands down the best experience I've had with a pet care facility including ones I've used back home!! More...

I am so glad that we chose Southern Pines Pet Lodge to care for our Golden Retriever, Bella. Bella is a regular at daycare and boarding, and she is always so excited to run back to play! Rini and the rest of the staff go above and beyond to take care of our sweet girl, and we could not be more thankful. Would recommend to anyone!! More...

I love bringing my dogs here! Rini and her staff are so compassionate about the care of each dog and it’s obvious in how eager my dogs are to go to camp. When Darby sees us turning down the road he can hardly contain himself and as soon as we are parked, he will jump out of the car to go inside. More...

As always my dog Hunter is well cared for. He is 11 years old now and has gone nowhere else. The previous owner/employees have always been awesome and caring. And now under the new ownership I am seeing just as much caring, compassion, and loving on Hunter every time he is there... The manager has been there for years and he loves her.. He has been running towards their door from the car for years.... And that is a good feeling for me... � More...

We absolutely love Southern Pines Pet Lodge. Our golden retriever, Bella had been going to doggy daycare ever since she was a puppy, and when we moved a couple months ago to Columbia, we were worried that we would not find the same caliber daycare. But she loves the pet lodge, and runs back every day ready to play. The staff is amicable, inviting, and takes such good care of our girl!! :) More...

What do you love most about your job?
Rini - "I love getting up and seeing the dogs every day. They never judge you and are always happy to see you. I love seeing them really think about what you're trying to teach them and that moment you see it 'click' for them is just so much fun to watch!"
What inspired you to start your own business?
Rini - "I was inspired to start working as a trainer when I rescued a 4 month old puppy out of a small shelter in GA (3 days before Christmas 2017). She was on deaths door (Literally, she was scheduled to be put down the following day) and yet she was so full of life and love. All she wanted was a squeeky toy and some love! She showed me exactly how much talent I had with younger pups, as she tested my limits in training her. She is now my Demo dog for all my training services and shes only 10 months old!"
Why should our clients choose you?
Rini - "Every dog is different, just like no two people are the same. Many trainers have a 'one size fits all' training approach and that just isn't going to always work. I work with the dog to see and feel how the DOG learns. That way its easier for them to understand exactly what we are asking of them. Some dogs are a little hard headed and thats okay. Others are super food motivated and so we'll use that to our advantage while working with them. Notice I said 'we'. I mean you (the client) and I. I love working with the owners and their dogs. While I do offer Board and Train options, having YOU work with your dog is the end goal. Lets get you two loving life together!"
