Dog Mountain Lodge - New Option for Dog Owners
Dean Scharf, known around these parts as the 'Dean of Dogs', and his wife Krista, have opened Dog Mountain Lodge in Cochecton, the first 'pet resort' style boarding facility in Sullivan County. This offers another option for those of us who live here to board our dogs when we go away. But more importantly, Dog Mountain Lodge offers a great option for visitors coming up for the day or weekend with their dogs. There are very, very few pet-friendly accommodations here. Now, people guests can drop their canine family members off at Dog Mountain on their way to stay at Ecce, the Old North Branch Inn or any of the other B&B's and hotels here that don't allow pets. Dog Mountain Lodge also offers doggie day care. I wish Dean and Krista all the best in this venture - they're great folks.
Dean is a terrific dog trainer, and this will be a great resource to have in the area. I adopted a two-year old German shepherd from the Sullivan County SPCA a year ago, and Dean's help made a big difference with my dog. I wish them the best with this new business.
