HOW IT WORKS
How Does Dog Boarding Work at Dog U?
Secure Your Spot
Booking our dog boarding services is simple and convenient. Start by scheduling a consultation or giving us a call to discuss your dates.
Check-In
Once your reservation is confirmed, you can drop off your dog at our facility on the scheduled date and time.
Ultimate Care and Fun
During your dog's stay, our dedicated staff will provide the highest level of care and they will participate in fun doggy daycare activities.
Reunion Time
When you return, simply pick up your happy canine companion. During their stay at Dog University, our canine guests enjoy playtime with friends, continuous access to water, and supervised rest. Many pups play more here in days than they would in weeks at home. After their visit, your dog might be thirsty and tired – this is normal. Simply encourage them to drink water gradually to prevent vomiting.

Our Happy Dogs & Owners
Jessica HrabalJames an the whole staff is amazing people. You can really tell they love there job an they love the animals this is such a wonderful place
Tamika ChaseThis is a lovely dog university!! Great with dogs and the people there are amazing!! 👍🏽
Lillian ChaseDog University helped me get my very unmanageable pup in control and listening to my every command without worries and hesitation. They also taught me how to communicate correctly with my dog as well as how to be a leader. I can now enjoy my walks with my pup like never before, thanks so much guys!
destineyI brought my dog to Dog University, and was greeted by James, of which I knew within the first 5 minutes of our conversation, that it was going to be the best decision I made thus far. Within a week of meeting with James, I started noticing a drastic change in my fur baby's behavior and over all well being, I am beyond grateful for James and his phenomenal team at Dog University. And I have been bragging to all my friends that have dogs
Lori KuykendallSo far I've only communication with the nice folks at Dog University through email and over the phone but let me say they have answered all my questions and concerns quickly and knowledgeable! I have a VERY STUBBON 9 month old boxer who has been a challenge for me to say the least. Smart knows all hus commands but thinks he owns me instead of other way around. Even as much of a handful as he is I can't just leave him in the hands of anyone. After talking with Dog University I look forward to meeting them in a couple weeks and have no worries leaving my baby in there trusted hands. Thank you
ChristinaI felt bad leaving my dog home in his cage while I was out so I sent him to do university to socialize & exercise with other dogs. He loved it 😊
Alexis StarrDog university is top tier dog training, if you have a dog that’s misbehaving then going here will change your life and make things so much easier for you! 10/10 work and also everyone is so kind
Remington BarnesOur dog doesn’t like strangers AT ALL, but she is very comfortable with the staff at Dog University. James and the team have a professional, structured environment where she thrives. They take great care of her, whether she’s staying for a few days or a few weeks. We know she’s in good hands when she’s at Dog U!
Nikhil ShenoyGreat facility for boarding and daycare
Kerri ann GillespieDog University has all your dog boarding needs. They are the friendliest dog boarders I've ever worked with. Not only do they board dogs but they also have excellent training for dogs that are young pups or just need to learn some obedience. I have utilized the boarding an dog training only because I'm always busy at work an haven't had a lot of time to work with my dog Aries. He definitely has enjoyed his training an has come back a different dog than before, I would say for the better an I'm going to continue using them an recommending them to all my friends for all their pups needs.
