Dog Gone Good

Dog Gone Good is a training-focused kennel at 4909 Warm Springs Rd that offers dog boarding, daycare, and obedience training in Columbus, GA. It also serves nearby Phenix City, AL. Boarding costs $30 to $35 per night. Stays are booked online and by appointment, which lets staff give each dog more individual attention.

What is a boarding stay like?

Dogs stay in a climate-controlled building, in four-foot walk-in kennels with Kuranda beds. Outside, the large play yards have real grass and agility equipment. All play is supervised, and dogs can play alone or in a group depending on how social they are. The kennel describes itself as a small, private place with quiet spots for dogs that would rather nap than run.

• Boarding for small, medium, large, and giant dogs
• Daycare with indoor play and outdoor space
• Supervised solo and group play in grassy yards
• Private and puppy obedience lessons
• Board and train programs, including e-collar training

Why choose a kennel run by trainers?

Training is at the heart of this business. Its listed credentials include NePoPo Premium Gold Graduate, Martin Systems E-Collar Certified, membership in the International Association of Canine Professionals, and Pet First Aid and CPR certification. The website speaks to common frustrations like leash pulling, jumping on guests, and dogs that won't come when called. Owners who want better manners can choose board and train, or they can take private lessons and do more of the work themselves.

What should owners know before booking?

Vaccinations are required, so have your dog's records ready before you reserve. Bookings are made online through the Dog Gone Good website. For questions, call (706) 225-9088 or email dggtrainer@gmail.com.
