About Us

Smoky Valley Dog Center was founded in October 2012 by Jeff and Marla Patrick.  Prior to starting SVDC, Jeff trained and handled police service dogs for 14 years.  He is a certified police service dog trainer, and also a certified police service dog judge.  

 

Our center is uniquely located in the country on eleven spacious acres, and our center is family-run.  Not only do we have years of experience in care and training, we have a passion for pets.  Whether boarding your four legged family members or taking care of their grooming needs, you can rest assured that they are safe, well taken care of, and receiving the same amount of love and attention that they are used to receiving at home.  

 

Why Choose Us?

*We are absolutely passionate about what we do, and as pup parents of our own five furbabies, one of which has special needs, we know the level of care we expect for ours, and provide that same level for your four legged family member.  Your pups are part of the SVDC family from the moment they walk in our door.
 
*We have staff on site 24/7 year round.
 
*We know that it is not physically or pyschologically healthy for pups to be cooped up in a small area for long periods of time. It is why we made our boarding rooms as large as we did, and with unfettered access to an outside area anytime they choose. It is also why we make sure that each pup receives playground time approximately every two hours.  
 
*With boarding rooms, grooming salon, and a doggy boutique on site, we strive to be your "one stop shop" for all things furbaby related.
