Andover Dog Training Center

Andover Dog Training Center is a veteran-owned dog boarding, daycare, and training facility in Augusta, Kansas, at 11932 HWY 54. Boarding there is cage-free. Rather than a row of runs, each guest stays in a private cabin with its own fenced yard, and every cabin has a covered 12×20 play yard attached with all-day access. The buildings are climate-controlled.

Services and amenities

• Cage-free boarding in private cabins with fenced yards
• Daycare with daily play and enrichment
• Board-and-train and puppy training programs
• Specialized programs for reactive and aggressive dogs
• Grooming and medication administration during a stay

What sets it apart

The center is led by a former Military K9 Handler, and the structure of the place reflects that. Staffing is heavy relative to the number of dogs on site, the property is secure and monitored, and care is personalized instead of run as one big group. Because the yard attaches to the cabin, outdoor time doesn't wait on staff rotating dogs through a shared area. Owners whose dogs struggle in crowded kennels have a genuine option here, since reactivity and aggression work is a normal part of the training side. Training sessions can also be added during a boarding stay.

Practical details

The rate published for boarding is $60 per day. Reservations are handled by phone at 316-854-1786 rather than through an online booking tool, and vaccinations are required for every dog.
