Family K9 Training

Family K9 Training offers in-home dog boarding, dog daycare, and training in Arlington, WA. Overnight guests stay in the household as part of the family rather than in a row of kennel runs. The property spans five acres with multiple play fields, and boarding is cage-free and climate-controlled.

• Board-and-train and puppy training
• Grooming
• Private dog park rental

What makes it different

Most of the day happens outdoors on the 5-acre property, across multiple play fields rather than a single yard. Dogs join the household routine instead of a kennel schedule. Training runs alongside boarding: the business is listed as an AKC Certified Evaluator for Canine Good Citizen and Trick Dog, and as an ASPCA Certified Evaluator for the Meet Your Match and SAFER behavior tests. Owners can schedule AKC evaluations and behavior consultations, so a boarding stay can double as structured work on manners. The cage-free, in-home setup suits social dogs better than dogs that need a quiet space of their own.

Practical details

Pick-up and drop-off are available, including an optional taxi service for owners who can't make the drive. Grooming and training can be arranged alongside a stay. The private dog park can also be rented, which helps owners who want room to run without group play. Booking and current program details go through familyk9wa.com, and the business also posts on Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok.
