Your dog will stay in a professional kennel, but in the comfort of home. Yes, we run ALL our boarding programs out of our own home!

 

We board, train and live on 4 acres in beautiful southern Overland Park. Kansas. We’re west of the Overland Park Arboretum and Blue Valley Southwest High School. Heritage Park is directly to our north, across 175th Street. (Find a map here.)

 

Our grounds and facilities are always safe, clean and well kept. (Again, we live here!)

Top 10 Reasons You and Your Dog Will Love Our Kennels

​

1. Your dog sleeps in a spacious, comfortable kennel. Our kennels are located downstairs, just beneath our bedroom - in a heated/air conditioned, carpeted, fully finished basement.
    

2. Your dog receives round-the-clock care here. We live here. Our staff starts pulling up the driveway just before 7 am for the first shift. That’s when your dog’s day begins! By the time the second shift leaves, it’s about 11:30 pm. Lisa AND your dog are tucked in for the night. If there’s a problem at 2 AM, we hear it!
    

3. Your dog is closely monitored. Unlike friends, relatives and most dog sitters, we watch over your dog full-time. Our grounds are extremely secure, with 6-foot chain link fences. Qualified staff members carefully supervise each playgroup. For extra security, we also monitor our kennels and grounds from a large TV screen in our great room.
    

4. The people who care for your dog know more than the average kennel assistant. We’ve thoroughly trained our staff to handle any dog who goes through our programs.
    

5. A professional quickly handles any veterinary emergency. Our vet makes house calls. She visits our kennels whenever we need her – even on Sundays!
    

6. Your dog has plenty of time and room to run outdoors. Like you, we’re not crazy about puddles on our floors or in our kennels. We also know that exercise is critical to better behaviors. We go out of our way to see that every dog spends lots of time in our large, fenced yards: 6 to 8 “potty and play” breaks per day, AT LEAST 20 minutes at a time. (That’s especially important for the many energetic puppies we house train in our Board and Train Program for Basic Manners!)
    

7. Your pet plays in a suitable playgroup, not an uncaged mob. Our playgroups are small, typically 7 to 10 dogs. We carefully consider size and temperament as we assemble them. We continuously supervise all groups.
    

8. We consistently coach good, safe behaviors in your dog – and every other dog in his playgroup. Our kennel is open only to our dog training clientele. All dogs who stay with us are constantly learning. Your dog spends much of his day socializing with our staff and other dogs, practicing his good manners.
    

9. We’ll accommodate you in ways most public boarding facilities won’t.

• Many accept only spayed or neutered pets; we board dogs who remain intact (as long as your female is NOT in heat).

• Most won’t accommodate a raw dog food diet; we let your pet continue one while boarding.

• Most refuse dogs with any history of aggression; we typically accept a client’s dog as long as he poses no serious bite risk to our staff. We closely monitor those with past dog aggression. If we believe any dog poses a risk to other dogs, we exercise them separately. In most cases, we’re able to integrate our clients’ dogs into appropriate playgroups.
