Boarding
At The Prodigal Pooch, we believe that a well-balanced and happy dog is one with a structured routine. This includes time for both physical and mental exercise. It is important to remain consistent with the rules and boundaries that were created for them during their training with us.
There is a big difference between a dog kennel or boarding facility and the service we offer at The Prodigal Pooch. The Prodigal Pooch is not a traditional boarding facility. Our boarding clients are those who have taken part in one of our Resident Training programs. While your dog is with us we reinforce the structured lifestyle that they learned when they were previously with us for their training program.
Pricing for Boarding:
Standard Boarding: $75 per night
Advanced Boarding: $100 per night
Each “Night” begins at 5pm. Pickups after 5pm will be charged for the night.
What to Expect
We offer the benefit of all of these services when your dog boards with The Prodigal Pooch.
Individualized love and attention
Small groups of dogs (no more than 5 dogs boarding at a time)
Structured walks and free time
“Good” behavior and commands learned in previous training will be reinforced
“Bad” manners and behaviors will never be reinforced
Standard Boarding
Your dog will be carefully cared for by The Prodigal Pooch team.
We will use the training tools and commands with your dog that were taught in their Resident Training. While they will not receive individual training sessions, their Training will be reinforced
No bad behaviors will be reinforced like they could be in other boarding situations
We have a maximum of 5 dogs that can board at once, so please schedule in advance to guarantee your spot
Advanced Boarding
Does your dog need a training brush up or refresher? Then this is for you.
This type of boarding is most similar to dogs in our Resident Training Programs
Your dog will receive training sessions daily like they did in their Resident Training Program. They won’t learn new commands during their Advanced Boarding, but we will maintain and practice all of the commands that they were originally taught by The Prodigal Pooch
Advanced Boarding is based on our Resident Training availability
Boarding Policies
All dogs must be in good health and current on vaccines prior to boarding The Prodigal Pooch. The Prodigal Pooch requires the following vaccines:
Rabies
Distemper (DAPP)
Bordetella Vaccine
A negative stool sample is also required within the 30 days of their boarding. A go home bath can be added on to the end of their boarding for an extra $25. Please let us know if you would like one! Payment is by the night. If you pick up your dog after 5pm on the day your dog is to go home, you will be charged for the night.
Cancellation Policies
Because our boarding capacity is limited, any reservations that are cancelled with less than 1 week notice will be charged 50% of the original stay
Holiday Policy - Because Holidays are an incredibly popular time for boarding, we must receive 2 weeks notice for cancellations, or you will be charged the full amount of stay
