Cave Creek K9 Training

Cave Creek K9 Training offers in-home dog boarding and dog training in Cave Creek, AZ, working out of a home rather than a building full of kennel runs. Dogs that board there stay cage-free in the house, with regular walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention from the same people who run the training programs.

Services offered

• In-home boarding in a home setting, not a kennel
• Private lessons, either in the owner's home or on location
• Behavior consulting for aggression, anxiety, and barking
• Regular walks, playtime, and one-on-one attention during stays
• A free consultation and temperament test before booking

What sets it apart

The cage-free, in-home setup is the main difference from a traditional boarding kennel. Dogs stay indoors with the household and have outdoor space to work off energy, which tends to suit dogs that settle better in a house than in a run. Training is the core of the business, so a boarding stay can also be used to keep a dog's manners from slipping while the owner travels. The stay ends with a handoff back to the owner, and follow-up lessons are built into that process.

Behavior consulting for aggression, anxiety, and excessive barking comes from the same operation, which matters for a dog that does not do well in a standard kennel setting. Lessons happen where the dog actually lives or in another spot that fits the owner's schedule.
