🐾 More Than Just Puppies at Desert Oasis Kennels! 🏜️

Puppies may be the best part of what we offer (I mean, who doesn’t love puppies?), but our services don’t stop there! We also provide expert training and boarding for dogs of all breeds and ages.

As a breeder, I believe in being more than just a handshake and a goodbye. I won’t hand you a puppy and disappear, nor will I hover and tell you exactly how to raise them. Instead, I’ll be here to support you with training tips, advice, and answers to any questions you have—because who better to help than your puppy’s breeder?

Even if your pup didn’t come from us, our training and boarding services are open to all dogs. We offer:
🐶 Puppy Training – Ideal before or after bringing your puppy home, especially recommended for first-time Chessie owners.
🐾 Boarding & Training for All Breeds – From Yorkies to Great Danes, we welcome dogs of all ages because old dogs absolutely can learn new tricks!

Contact us for rates, class options, or to schedule a meet-and-greet. Rates vary depending on your dog’s needs.

Important Notes:
🚫 We cannot accept dogs that have recently been altered, had surgery, or are recovering from contagious illnesses.
💊 We can administer medications essential for your dog’s well-being but will not administer temperament-altering drugs or sedatives.
✅ All wounds must be fully healed, and we require a vet’s letter of health for post-surgical care.

We look forward to helping your dog thrive—whether they’re a Desert Oasis puppy or not! 🐾💙

What This Program Covers:
✅ Learning to settle calmly and quietly in the crate

  • Waterproof crate mats (available for purchase)

  • A small blanket or mat for their crate at home

What to Bring for Your Puppy:

  • Food and any necessary medications

  • One toy (no more than one, please)

  • A labeled blanket or mat for their kennel

Please label all items with your puppy’s name. Desert Oasis Kennels is not responsible for any damage to items brought from home—puppies can be destructive, and we can’t guarantee items will stay intact.
