Our daycare provides a safe, comfortable, fun experience for every dog. We tailor each day to fit the needs of our current canine guests with a wide range of activities. Whether your dog needs to work on their socialization, needs to get a lot of extra energy out, or simply needs a home away from home for the day. We will make sure their day fits their needs.
For boarding, because we have an in-home atmosphere, we require one overnight stay before any longer stay options are available. It is incredibly important to us that each dog is comfortable and happy staying at our home. We prefer a mid-day drop-off, so we can devote a good portion of the day, personally bonding with your dog. That gives us time to make sure they are comfortable exploring the grounds. After that, we will slowly introduce them to the other visiting dogs.
Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate stallions, cribbers, or horses with poor ground manners at this time.

Get those paws (or claws) under control! Overgrown nails can cause joint pain, skeletal misalignment, early arthritis, an unwillingness to walk due to pain, amongst other ailments. Nails may need several sessions to work back the quick so your pet has a comfortable step. Trims are $20 per session.
We do not currently offer any coat trimming and do not have the equipment to handle dogs who arrive with matted coats for brush out or bathing services. Additionally, our main priority is for your dog to experience our property as a safe, enjoyable, home away from home. We will not perform any grooming services on dogs who express any distress or fear. We are a boarding and training facility first, grooming secondary. If you are interested in training in order to make the grooming process more enjoyable for your dog, please just ask!
Medications that can be placed in food or given in pill pocket/cheese/lunch meat etc (item to stuff provided by owner) will be given free of charge. Topicals such as eye drops, ear drops, creams, sprays etc are $5 per application.

Puppy classes are for puppies 10 weeks to 6 months of age. (Exceptions may be made for small breeds but generally, after six months they belong in the Basic Obedience Class.) Ideally, pups would start at 10-16 weeks old, with veterinary approval.
We will cover foundational obedience commands with a strong focus on heeling and loose leash walking. These classes are held indoors and outdoors, depending on the weather. You will have the opportunity to discuss, observe and apply a variety of techniques and find the right balance for you and your dog. There will be short discussions on behavior issues but in-depth assistance is done through private training.
This four week class is designed to advance and polish the skills you learned in Basic Obedience and prepare your canine for the Advanced Drop-In Class. We build on the foundation laid in previous classes, raising the bar of expectations and preparing the canines for real world situations. We also add a few new commands and an intro to agility just for fun!

Dear N.P.: At its peak, Lone Star Stables represented a rural way of life that will never be seen in Old Arlington again. Over the years, thousands of children and adults rode horses and ponies through black-jack oak trails, sandy roads and former railroad beds.
Cowboy star Tom Mix reportedly boarded his horse, Tony, there during an appearance in Jacksonville in the early 1940s. Elsie the Cow, the Borden Dairy Co. mascot, spent a night there during a promotional visit. Lone Star also boarded a buffalo and a huge Brahma bull ridden by a rodeo clown.
Lone Star was just a dirt road when Cleveland and Louise Bruce Johnson moved there in 1914. Louise Johnson's father had ties to Alderman Realty Co., and the couple bought land on Lone Star for their home. The family farmed and started a dairy called Red Bay. Their daughter, Claris, married George Jaques Jr. in 1930 and built a home on a parcel provided by her parents just east of Red Bay Branch on Lone Star.
In 1939 they had horses on the property and were offering rides by the mid- to late-1940s. Claris Jaques, known for her knowledge of the land and for wearing her hair in braids, offered different types of trail rides, ranging from an hour to all day. There were even moonlight rides and campouts, said her daughter, Joan Jaques Vincent.
At one point they had about 75 horses and ponies, consisting of their own, ones that were boarded there and ones that were rented, she said. Claris Jaques also had a nanny goat that she kept as a pet and for the milk.
By choice, the Jaques lived a simple life in a turpentine shack that was brought to the site and later expanded, Vincent said. Her mother cooked on a cast-iron wood stove, their water came from a well and they had no electricity until 1957. They also had an outhouse.
Their father used his ingenuity to compensate, such as filling galvanized garbage cans with spring water and rigging a 55-gallon drum on a platform. They led the horses from the barn two by two to a spring on their property where they could drink and be washed.
Off and on, family members shared the duties of taking care of the horses and the stables. Vincent helped her mother with trail rides in the 1950s until she married and moved to Mandarin in 1959. Her mother, she said, liked to take one route on the first part of the ride and another route back to make it more intriguing. Weekends were busy times because of the students and Girl Scout who would come for rides. Sometimes they had campfires featuring pork and beans and hot dogs.
"She talked about the Richard Mill Pond and Mill Creek and pointed out historic items like the J.M. & P. Railroad bed," Powell said. "She knew who had lived in the abandoned home sites from Civil War days that dotted the woods. She talked about years of baptisms at Lone Star Church and knew the history of the Spanish American war gun emplacement at St. Johns Bluff."
Then there were the Fourth of July parades that began in the early 1950s and wound through part of Arlington for many years. The festivities even featured a little covered wagon and a buckboard. The Jaques raised hogs and always had a pit barbecue cooked for the party that followed.
The stable, however, was never a lucrative business because any profits went back into maintaining the horses, Vincent said. Her father worked at Humphreys Gold Mine and various other jobs, she said. Her mother worked at the Arlington Elementary School cafeteria and then drove a school bus for mentally and physically disabled students. She also worked at Arlington's original Dairy Queen.
