Countrytime K9

Countrytime K9 offers cage-free dog boarding in Dexter, MI, along with daycare and training on a 10-acre farm at 8151 Zeeb Road. Dogs spend the day with the group in indoor and outdoor play spaces, then settle into their own sleeping and dining area at night.

What the farm setting looks like

The property is set up for dogs that genuinely like other dogs. Play areas run both indoors and out, so weather doesn't cancel the day, and custom play structures give the group something to climb on. Kurunda beds and blankets are provided. Because each dog eats and sleeps in its own space, mealtimes stay calm and quieter dogs have somewhere to decompress.

What makes it different

Two things set Countrytime K9 apart from a standard kennel. The first is the setting: ten acres of farm rather than a concrete building on a commercial strip. The second is the training side. A certified dog trainer is on staff, so the people handling day-to-day boarding also work with dogs on behavior and puppy socialization. That matters in a cage-free setup, where dogs spend their day reading each other instead of sitting in separate runs.

Practical details

Published rates run $55 to $115 per night. Reservations are handled by phone at (734) 355-3279, and proof of current vaccinations is required before a stay. New guests go through a temperament test first, which is the honest trade-off of a group format: it only works when every dog in the mix enjoys company. Dogs that would rather not share space are not a fit here. More information is available at countrytimek9.com or by email at Countrytimek9@gmail.com.
