Our Story

Big N' Small Paws 317 was founded in 2019 by Jaden Wilson with one mission: give dogs the structure, training and daily care they need to truly thrive – not just "get by."

What began as a training-focused business has grown into a full-service dog care facility. From in-home sessions to structured day training in Indianapolis, from grooming to luxury overnight boarding, every service is designed around your dog's comfort, safety and clear expectations.

We're not a franchise. We're a local, family-based team that knows our clients, remembers their dogs, and partners with owners long-term.

Our Core Services

Dog Training in Indianapolis

We specialize in real-world, results-driven training for every stage of life:

Luxury Dog Boarding

Our boarding isn't rows of kennels. Dogs stay in private, comfortable suites with structure, predictable routines, and trainer oversight. Many families combine boarding with training so their dog comes home better than when they arrived.

Structured Day Training Membership

Big N' Small Paws 317 no longer offers traditional dog daycare. Our Day Training Membership provides structured training, accountability, and real-world skill development throughout the day. Dogs participate in guided training activities, obedience reinforcement, social neutrality exercises, and supervised enrichment designed to build better behavior at home and in public.
Unlike traditional daycare, our focus is on creating lasting results through structure, communication, and consistency. Learn more about our Day Training Membership in Indianapolis.

Gentle Dog Grooming

Our grooming team focuses on a low-stress, professional grooming experience for every dog—from basic baths and tidy-ups to full haircuts, deshedding treatments, nail trims, and breed-specific styling. Many families combine professional grooming with our structured Day Training Membership, making it easy to support both your dog's appearance and behavior goals in one trusted location.
