BOARDING
A familiar place to stay when you can’t take them with you.
Boarding is available exclusively to Klug K9 Training clients who need a safe, familiar place for their dog to stay while they’re away, hosting an event, having work done at home or simply need temporary care.
Because this service is reserved for existing training clients, I already know your dog, their training and many of the routines and expectations they’re accustomed to.
YOUR DOG’S STAY
Comfortable care that feels familiar.
Boarding dogs stay with me in my home and have plenty of opportunities throughout the day to rest, play, spend time outside and simply be a dog. Each dog’s routine is based on their individual needs, personality and what helps them fee comfortable while they’re here.
A space of their own
Every boarding dog sleeps inside my home in their own assigned crate for the duration of their stay. Crates are not shared between dogs during their stay.
Time to move & play
Dogs have access to fully enclosed outdoor dog runs as well as supervised play and exercise in my fenced backyard. Their stay includes plenty of opportunities to move, play, relax and enjoy some downtime.
Social time when appropriate
When compatible dogs are staying at the same time, they may have opportunities to play and spend time together with permission from both families. Social time is always based on individual dog’s personality, comfort level and compatibility with the other dog.
Keep the progress you’ve made
One of the benefits of boarding with your dog’s trainer is knowing their training doesn’t go out the window while you’re away. Boarding does not include structured training sessions or the introduction of new skills, but the boundaries, rules, expectations, manners and skills your dog already knows are maintained throughout their stay.
BEFORE THEIR STAY
A few things to pack-and a few you can leave at home.
What I provide
Your dog will have their own assigned crate, food and water bowls, toys and chewies available throughout their stay. Crates and bowls are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between dogs.
What you bring
Please bring enough of your dog’s regular food for their entire stay, along with their training collar and leash. Raw-fed dogs should have their meals portioned and packaged individually.
You’re also welcome to bring your dog’s crate bedding and favorite toy, bond or chewie if you’d like them to have something familiar from home.
BOARDING DETAILS
The need-to-know before their stay.
-
Boarding is available exclusively to existing Klug K9 Training clients. Dogs must be crate trained and comfortable resting in a crate during their stay.
Boarding space is limited and availability varies, so advanced scheduling is recommended whenever possible.
-
Dogs must be current on Rabies, Distemper and Parvovirus vaccinations and must be on a current flea and tick preventative.
Proof of current vaccinations should be provided prior to your dog’s stay.
-
A negative fecal test for Giardia and intestinal parasites is required and may be completed up to 4 weeks before your dog’s drop-off date.
For dogs who are on a regular monthly intestinal parasite preventative, a negative fecal test will remain valid for Boarding for one year. If your dog is not on a monthly intestinal preventative, a new negative fecal test will be required for each Boarding stay.
-
Dogs showing signs of illness will need to have their Boarding stay rescheduled. Please let me know before drop-off if your dog develops vomiting, diarrhea, coughing, unusual lethargy or other signs of illness, or if there have been any significant changes to their health.
