A Better Boarding Experience for Your Dog

Do you accept dogs with behavior issues?
Yes. We specialize in working with dogs that other facilities may not accept, including those with anxiety, reactivity, and human-aggressive behavior.
Is this like daycare-style boarding?
No. We focus on structured, calm care, not chaotic group play environments. (Although, if you have a well balanced dog that can play, we do offer this option)
What should I bring for my dog?
We’ll guide you during booking, but typically food and medications are required.
Do you offer training during boarding?
Training is not included in standard boarding, but we do offer Board & Train programs for behavior transformation.
How far in advance should I book?
We recommend booking early, as space is limited to maintain quality care.
This Is NOT the Right Boarding Fit for Every Dog
We believe in being upfront—because the right environment matters for your dog’s safety and success.
Our boarding is not designed for every situation, and that’s intentional.
This may NOT be the right fit if:
You’re looking for all-day group play or daycare-style boarding
Your dog requires constant social interaction with other dogs
You prefer a high-volume, free-roaming facility
You’re only looking for the cheapest boarding option available
- You are not comfortable with a structured, rules-based environment
This IS the right fit if:
You want your dog in a calm, controlled environment
Your dog does better with structure than chaos
You value professional handling and safety
Your dog has behavior challenges (anxiety, reactivity, aggression)
- You want peace of mind knowing your dog is in experienced hands
Why This Matters
Not all dogs thrive in the same environment.
Many dogs that struggle in traditional boarding settings actually do significantly better in a structured, low-chaos environment like ours.
This is especially true for:
- Overstimulated dogs
- Anxious or insecure dogs
- Reactive or aggressive dogs
- Dogs that have been turned away elsewhere
We’ve built our boarding program specifically to support these dogs—not overwhelm them.
