Fast Tracks Canine Activity Center

Fast Tracks Canine Activity Center offers dog boarding and daycare at 1702 E. Lake St in Cedar Falls, Iowa. It also handles grooming and training, so owners can take care of several of their dog's needs in one place. The kennel's website lists boarding at $55 to $75 per night.

What are the boarding suites like?

Overnight guests stay in private suites that come in three tiers: Presidential, King, and Queen. Each suite has glass doors and a Kuranda bed. Staff supervise the dogs around the clock. Owners who want a little extra for their dog can add one of the enrichment options, called Cloud Nine Nap, Regal Paws, and Smartie Pack.

How does playtime work?

The center puts a lot of weight on structure. Staff don't turn every dog loose together. They sort dogs into supervised playgroups matched by size, temperament, and energy. The facility has indoor play space, outdoor play areas, and swimming pools, which could make it a good pick for dogs that love the water.

What certifications does Fast Tracks hold?

Fast Tracks lists two certifications: PACK Pro Certified and Fear Free Certified. Owners of nervous or reactive dogs may want to ask how these shape day-to-day handling.
