DD Kennels

DD Kennels is a boarding and training facility in Billings, Montana. It handles dog boarding in Billings alongside a bird dog and gun dog training program. Boarders stay in heated indoor/outdoor kennels with access to a large fenced exercise area at no extra charge. Daily play and socialization with other dogs are part of the routine rather than an upgrade.

What a boarding stay includes

• Heated indoor/outdoor kennels
• A large fenced exercise area at no extra charge
• Daily play and socialization with other dogs
• Boarding at $30 per day, per dog
• Bird dog and gun dog training on the same grounds

What sets it apart

The training program is the thing most owners will notice first. DD Kennels is a family-run operation that specializes in bird dogs. The kennel treats gun dog work as a long process rather than a quick fix, with steady communication between trainer and owner along the way. Started and finished gun dogs are sold through the kennel as well.

That focus shapes the boarding side. A facility built to condition hunting dogs has the ground and the daily habits to keep an active dog busy, which matters for sporting breeds and for any dog that gets restless in a small run.

Practical details

Boarding costs $30 per day per dog, a rate published on the kennel's own website. Up-to-date vaccination records are required before a stay. Reservations are made by phone, not through an online booking form, so owners can ask about available kennel space and training openings in the same call. Details on both the boarding and training programs are at ddkennelsmt.com.
