The Cyber Dog moved just a few doors down from their old spot this year and are now also offering indoor obedience training classes.

They research all the brands and choose only the best, most cutting edge options. As with humans, many pets suffer from illnesses and allergies that are food related, and the staff here can give you advice about how to sort these problems out. In addition they provide a helpful service: Barking Parking. You can “park” your dog here by the hour. This service is especially helpful when visitors arrive on the Outer Banks and have to wait a bit before they can check in to their hotel or rental home. While you shop or enjoy a meal out, your dog is safe and happy in a climate-controlled, friendly environment (may we take a chance here to advise you to never leave your pet in a closed, or even partially closed, vehicle; the sun can turn that environment into an oven in minutes). They also have a nice selection of pet accessories and gifts and offer seminars and workshops in addition to their obedience classes.
