This was our first time boarding our dogs anywhere. We were nervous because we have one dog who is 10 and struggles with anxiety. Our other dog is two and still very much a puppy. They communicated with us and let us know how the dogs were doing, even sent pictures. We had the absolute best experience. I would highly recommend Happy K9 to anyone.

About Happy K9 Academy
Happy K9 Academy’s boarding facility is staffed 24/7 365 days a year to ensure we give the best experience possible to each pup in our care! We intentionally keep our boarding facility small so we can spend a generous amount of time one on one with each dog to meet their mental, emotional and physical needs! We provide reward based training through group classes, stay and train programs and private training lessons!

100% recommend happy k9 academy. We have been bringing our baby there for daycare/boarding since she was a puppy and have had nothing but amazing experiences. I fully trust that she is taken care of as if she was the workers own pet. They also make you feel like family each personalized interaction. I have nothing bad to say about happy k9 and my dog loves going there!
I’m always confident that my Finn will be well taken care of at Happy K-9! My guilt doesn’t get the better of me when I drop him off and he can’t wait to get out of the car. The 24 hour care is a definite plus. Finn is definitely a Happy Kamper ‼️
We loved Happy K9 and felt like our dog was truly happy! He usually comes home and sulks for a few days after we return. He was in such good spirits. Thank you so much for loving on our dog and taking such good care of him! This is our new home away from home for our loved pup!
The people are lovely they take good care of your dog. I got text from them while I was gone and the dog is happy while they’re there that’s big for me.
