In-Home Boarding
Where Your Pack Is Treated Like Our Pack
For some, going on a trip without a member of the pack can cause all sorts of anxiety!
The reality is that commercial boarding facilities are often times stressful, and difficult for some dogs to adapt to. Especially little dogs, seniors and young puppies!
​
At a Canine Understanding we put your mind at ease by giving you a safe and secure environment which allows your little dog, senior or little one to avoid the stresses of commercial boarding. While your away your dog's stay will be catered to their specific and individual needs to make their stay as stress free as possible.
​
We will even send you updates every evening with pics and videos to let you know how your dog is doing.
​
We provide spacious 5x5 indoor kennel runs with 3/4-inch rubber flooring within an insulated and temperature-controlled environment for your dog to be safe and secure at night, and during quiet times. In addition, we provide our guests with comfy beds, and blankets. Senior dogs are given orthopedic beds to help ensure added comfort. Additionally, you can choose to have your dog groomed while they are with us!
​
We use safe natural cleaners throughout our home, and kennel area to avoid the risk of exposure to harmful chemicals. We also steam clean our kennel floors regularly and between dogs as an added measure to help ensure the health and safety of the pack.
​
Unfortunately, at this time we are unable to accept large breed dogs, dogs with a bite history, significant separation anxiety, or that are not crate trained.
