boarding by trainers,
not kennel techs
Our team is comprised of professional and competitive bite sports trainers, working with police K9s, protection dogs, and spicy family pets. A certified trainer lives on site full time and is the dogs’ daily caretaker, uniquely allowing us to provide boarding for aggressive, reactive, and difficult dogs.
We have a genuine appreciation for aggressive dogs and the responsibility that comes with handling them correctly.

boarding options
Private indoor/outdoor suites allow trainers to safely provide boarding for aggressive dogs without ever directly handling them.
Solid dividers, scents, and sounds throughout the building ensure dogs never see each other and always have their own secured space, making it the ideal facility for boarding unneutered dogs as well as aggressive, reactive, and fearful dogs.
