Adventure K-9

Adventure K-9 is a training-first facility at 2147 Centurion Pl in Boise, Idaho, offering dog boarding, daycare, grooming, and obedience work for dogs around the Treasure Valley. Training drives the rest of the business, and overnight care follows from it: boarding happens in a home setting the staff call The Ranch, reserved for graduates of the Master Dog program.

What it offers

• In-home boarding at The Ranch for Master Dog graduates
• Daycare with indoor play areas and outdoor space
• Group classes and private lessons
• Grooming
• Pick-up and drop-off dog shuttle serving Boise, Meridian, and Eagle

What makes it different

The credential behind the training side is a Certification in K-9 Behavior and Training from National K-9 in Columbus, Ohio. Dogs have supervision 24/7, and staff can administer medication for dogs that need it during a stay. The shuttle matters more than it sounds. Owners who can't fit a drop-off into the morning commute can have their dog picked up at home and brought back the same way, which is a real difference for anyone driving in from Meridian or Eagle.

Practical details

Boarding runs $75 per night, a rate published on the kennel's own site. Reservations are handled online, and a free consultation is available for owners who want to talk through training before committing to anything. Proof of vaccination is required.

Owners looking only for drop-in overnight care should know the in-home boarding is tied to the Master Dog program, so it isn't a walk-up service. Daycare, grooming, group classes, and private lessons are offered as well, and the free consultation is a low-commitment way to find out which track fits a particular dog.
