Daria's Place

Daria's Place is a dog boarding and daycare kennel at 621 16th St NE in Thompson, ND. The owner, Daria, is an Applied Animal Behaviorist with more than 60 years of experience. Boarding, daycare, grooming, and training all run by appointment, so a phone call comes before any drop-off.

Services

• Overnight boarding, including long-term and monthly stays
• Dog daycare
• Grooming
• Behavior and obedience training
• Special-consideration handling for puppies, geriatric dogs, and dogs in season

What sets it apart

At many kennels the daily handling falls to whoever is on shift that day. Here the behaviorist credential belongs to the person actually doing the work, which matters most for dogs who need more than a bed and a bowl. Puppies, older dogs, and dogs in season are taken with special consideration rather than turned away. Because the same operation covers grooming and training, a dog can be boarded and worked with during one stay.

Training is described as lifelong rather than a short course with an end date. Details on classes come over the phone, and the kennel keeps a Facebook page where owners can check for updates.

Practical details

Boarding is priced at $19 to $25 per dog per day, with long-term and monthly rates for stays that run longer. Booking is by phone at (701) 599-2307. There is no online reservation form, so the first contact is a conversation rather than a checkout page. Every service at Daria's Place is appointment-only, which means owners planning a holiday trip or an extended stay should call well ahead. That call is also the moment to describe a dog's routine and temperament, the kind of detail a behaviorist will actually use.
