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.

STEP 1

Check-In

Once your reservation is confirmed, you can drop off your dog at our facility on the scheduled date and time.

STEP 2

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.

STEP 3

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.

TESTIMONIALS

Our Happy Dogs & Owners

Edwin N

Good help and great service; bring your dog here and you'll both learn a lot! I dealt with Joanna over the phone and email, and she was responsive, prompt, and friendly. In the office, I mostly spoke to James, the owner, and he was knowledgeable, honest, professional, and helpful. I have a senior dog, who is set in her ways, but they dealt well with her, dealt straight with me, and they gave us both practical and specific things to work on tailored to my situation and my dog. Like it says above, five stars.

James W

i’ve known James for over 10 years. he has helped my wife and i with our former pit bull with her aggression issues. more recently he has also assisted us with our two dogo argentinos and chihuahua puppy. we always go to him for his expertise and calm demeanor in handling large breed dogs, as well as our little chihuahua. i trust james and his staff with our animals.

Anita Parke

Two years ago I adopted a full-grown female Rottweiler, sight unseen. It only took a day to realize that I was in over my head. She was dog aggressive and would not hesitate to knock me down and drag me across the street to fight with another dog. She weighed more than I did and I simply couldn't control her. Determined not to give her up, I learned that there was a trainer at Dog University who had an unusual ability to rehabilitate troubled dogs. What a difference! My Rottweiler is now sweet, well-behaved, and loved by all. I recommend Dog University without hesitation.

Highly experienced staff of caring dog trainers who work to train owners and encourage a healthy relationship with your dog.

Mary Zambrano

I have personally utilized James Oliver dog training for 2 of my dogs. One was for a newly acquired GSD that was acting aggressive. James conducted a home visit and I followed up with a one week board/training session. Many family members and friends were blown aways by the difference in my dog. She never acted aggressive afterwards and was a truly loyal companion. Second dog- small and scared! James helped me help her become more confident. It has taken a long time but she now let's men pet her. I have referred many people to Dog University and have complete confidence in their professionalism.

Nancy Kfoury

Our little pup has a ton of energy hand Dog U, and especially James’s expert training has made a huge difference in the way that it is channeled. She is much better behaved~still a pup but now with manners!
