What sets this kennel apart

The approach leans on matching, not just square footage. Dogs are sorted into play groups by size and energy level, so a high-energy adolescent isn't turned loose with a quiet senior. For dogs who do better away from a crowd, the Play My Way program covers one-on-one and small-group care. Assisted Canine Care is built for seniors and dogs with special needs, which is worth knowing if a dog needs extra help getting through the day. Handlers are PackPro certified and trained in Basic First Aid and CPR.

Outdoor time is central here rather than an add-on. The enrichment zones give dogs a chance to sniff, climb, and explore outside instead of spending the whole visit indoors.
