Dog•N•It

Dog•N•It is a dog boarding, daycare, and training kennel at 2890 N Government Way in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The facility takes no more than 30 dogs at a time, and that cap shapes most of how the place runs. Dogs are grouped by temperament, size, and age rather than dropped into one large pack.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding, including long-term stays of up to a year
• Daycare with three indoor and outdoor play areas
• Training
• Private sleeping areas averaging 5×6 feet, plus larger, smaller, and family units
• Medication administration and special diet feeding

How a day is set up

The three indoor and outdoor play areas give active dogs somewhere to burn energy, and the grouping by temperament, size, and age means a quiet senior is not sharing space with a bouncing adolescent. Dogs who are shy or scared get special accommodations instead of being pushed into a group right away. Overnight guests sleep in their own private area, and families who want their dogs together can ask about the family units. Staff handle medications and special diets for the dogs who need them.

Longer stays

Long-term boarding is available, with stays running up to a year. That makes the kennel worth a call for owners facing an extended absence rather than a weekend away.
