All About Dogs opened its doors June 4, 2005. Our 6,800 square-foot facility was home to our doggy daycare, retail store, photography studio, self-serve dog wash plus one part-time groomer and canine masseuse. After the first year, we realized that we needed to keep adding services. What else could we offer our clients? Overnight Boarding!! In December 2006, we opened our first kennel: 12 rooms. The overnight idea was a success. Our clients would insist that we care for their dogs while they were out of town, even if all 12 rooms were full. They would bring in their own crates for their dogs to stay. And before we knew it, we had crates all over the building in order to accommodate our client’s wishes.
In March 2010, we added 1,000 square feet and an additional 10 rooms. Needless to say, they were filled immediately, and the demand continued to grow. By summer 2011, we knew we needed a much larger facility. In September 2011, we began the first phase of our expansion. We re-located the retail store, self-serve dog wash, canine massage, and grooming to the front building, overtaking the entire 17,500 square-foot facility.
Since 2011 we have added additional services. We now offer 3 taxies providing drop off and pick up services to and from our facility, as well as in home care services to our clients. Our daycare and boarding clients enjoy specialized time with the addition of park walks, enrichment sessions and Me Times. We also expanded our Wellness Services to include canine massage, Reiki, and general canine fitness.
The most recent expansion took place in 2019 with our dog training department. Our dog trainers offer a wide variety of group classes for puppies, adults, and specialty classes such as Reactive Rover, Agility Foundations, Rally Obedience, Scent Work courses and Fitness workshops. We offer Therapy Dog International and Canine Good Citizen Testing, STAR Puppy, and Trick Dog Title options. Our training department expansion included the construction of our enrichment training room, and most recently the construction of a brand new 2,000 square-foot training facility.
Our now 19,500 square-foot facility offers everything your dog needs under one woof! Including 58 overnight rooms, separate daycare areas for small and large dogs, 7 large fenced in outdoor play areas, 3 pet taxies, professional dog grooming, a variety of wellness services, private and group dog training classes, enrichment and park walk services, a self-service dog wash and a pet photography studio.
We are also the official preferred venue for Rescue Village’s (Geauga Humane Society) training classes.
We continue to strive to be the best pet service company for our clients and set the standard for which all pet service businesses should operate.
The Next Chapter for All About Dogs

As we step into 2025, we share the heartfelt news that Deanna has made the challenging decision to step away and sell the business. For years, Deanna has poured her heart and soul into caring for the dogs in our community while their family is away on vacation or at work. Rest assured; the mission she established will carry on with unwavering commitment. The care and comfort of the dogs will always remain at the center of everything we do, honoring the vision Deanna has so lovingly put in place. Thank you for your continued support as we embrace this next chapter.
