My dog had an accident; who cleans it?
Yikes! Accidents happen. Employees of Bark Around Boston, LLC will clean up solid waste, urine, and vomit to the best of their ability, taking into consideration the materials affected by the incident. Saturated rugs or bedding may be placed in the tub for you to determine how you`d like them cleaned or salvaged. Specialty furnishings affected by pet accidents will not be touched due to the sensitive nature of fabrics. Floors will be wiped with provided paper towels/non-abrasive cleaners or Nature`s Miracle.
Does my dog have to walk perfect on a leash?
My dog struggles meeting new dogs/people. Can he participate?
Of course! We enthusiastically welcome shy and reactive dogs into our program either with individualized visits or customized groups that can meet your dog`s needs. We want al pups in our care to be as comfortable as possible while they build new skills and confidence in our care.
My dog is very rambunctious/lazy or has medical needs. Can he participate?
Of course! During our initial meet and greet, we will consider your pet`s individualized needs and idiosyncrasies as we make a plan to welcome them aboard safely.
Are walks still provided in rain/sleet/snow/heat?
Services are provided in ALL weather conditions. When safety is a concern, we may limit the scope and duration of our services in order to protect our clients` pets and our employees. Unless there is a travel ban within the city, we will make arrangements to see your pet even in the worst conditions. Keep an eye on our Facebook and Instagram for the most up-to-date schedule adjustments.

What is FUSION dog care?
My dog is aggressive or reactive, can he participate?
We understand that all dogs don`t have perfect social skills for a variety of reasons. If your dog has already completed a program for aggression/reactivity, we will work with your trainer to maintain those investments and results. If your dog has human aggression, we will discuss their behavior over the phone and determine if our 2 layer safety protocol will be a match for your set-up. In most cases, a successful and safe relationship can be built with proper education and expectations.
