    Dogs get family-style care at Saratoga School for Dogs

    School offers training classes, grooming and boarding, that is a home away from home for its clients


    From the outside, it has all the makings of a "best-kept secret" of Saratoga. Located along a residential portion of woodsy Fruitvale Avenue with no sidewalks, the building looks just like someone's comfortable, ranch-style house. For over a decade, however--and steadily since 1989--the front door has welcomed family and friends of a different sort: those who are furry and frisky and walk on all-fours. Although it may look like a well-kept secret, the Saratoga School for Dogs at 14451 Fruitvale Avenue is anything but, as testified by the several obedience classes it offers each week just to keep up with client demand.   More
