THE BOARDING EXPERIENCE

When your dog stays with me, they become part of my daily life and routine.

Boarding takes place in my home on a couple of acres, where dogs are treated as one of my own. They’ll get plenty of love and attention, and, if appropriate, enjoy off-leash adventures, structured play, and time to explore.

Your dog’s stay isn’t just about supervision. I provide a structured, balanced routine that includes exercise, mental stimulation, and proper rest, so your dog returns home happy, fulfilled, and well cared for.

Safety is always a top priority, and all dogs are cared for based on their individual needs.

BOARDING AT ASHLEY’S K9 TRAINING

Boarding is located at my home on a couple of acres in Bertram. Each dog receives appropriate mental and physical exercise throughout the day based on their age, breed, and energy level. This may include structured play, enrichment activities, and occasional field trips to trails, lakes, or pet-friendly locations.

Dogs are crated for scheduled rest and decompression throughout the day, as well as overnight, to ensure they are able to properly settle and recharge. If your dog has difficulty with the crate, please let me know prior to booking.

Socialization is carefully managed based on each dog’s temperament and comfort level. We do have a variety of animals on the property, including dogs, a donkey, horses, lambs, chickens, and cats, so please let me know if your dog is not comfortable around any of these.

This is not a traditional kennel environment. It’s a structured, home-based setting designed to keep your dog comfortable, engaged, and well cared for while you’re away.
