About Us

Chief of Dog Wranglin’

Sherry Boyer

Sherry is the founder of Dog Behavior Rehab and The Dog House Inn. She has been working with troubled dogs since 2002, helping rehabilitate physical problems with swim therapy, which led to intense study in dog behavior and this amazing journey into the world of dog. In January of 2007 she began to realize that her house had been taken over by her training clients’ dogs for holiday boarding, and thus The Dog House Inn was born!

Sherry is a Certified PetTech Pet Saver, Certified Force-Free and E-Touch Trainer, Certified Canine Kinaesthetics Practitioner, a graduate of Michael Ellis’ School for Obedience Trainers, and a Professional Member of The International Association of Canine Professionals, on the Board of Directors of GoKids, and happens to be fluent in Japanese.  Sherry lives with a full household of dogs (Nala, Daisy and Abby), 2 reluctant cats, and the love of her life, Steve, and two step sons. It is a happy bunch!

Dawn Hunt

Dawn is a lifelong animal lover. She grew up with 6 dogs and 5 cats, and all of them got along! She moved to Gilroy 4 years ago, and loves it here. Dawn is certified in Pet First Aid, and has been with The Dog House Inn since the beginning. We would not be able do it without her. Dawn’s devotion to the care of the dogs is outstanding, and shows in all that she does. Dawn says “I love my job. I’ve never had a job like it. It’s hard work, but it’s fun and I don’t go home stressed out at night. I actually look forward to coming in to work!” Dawn lives with Angus, Rusty and Shabon, all dogs that were fostered at The Dog House Inn through All Creatures Great and Small. Dawn is indispensable to our operations.

She is a lifelong dog owner, and has a deep interest in helping people live happily with their dogs. She lives with Oliver, a standard poodle, Bug, a deaf Queensland Heeler mix, and Whiskey, a Staffordshire Terrier. Sue is fascinated with the ability of dogs to learn and assimilate new information, as well as with the owner/dog dynamic. She loves working with people and their badly behaving dogs and seeing how quickly the relationship can be turned around in a positive way.  Sue is a graduate of the Michael Ellis School for Obedience Trainers, and has been training dogs for nearly 30 years.
