Fly Creek Kennels

Fly Creek Kennels is a dog boarding and training facility in Ballantine, MT, that accepts dogs of every size, from small breeds to giant ones. The property covers 10 acres and includes a large technical pond, so there is open ground well beyond the kennel building. Owners book by phone.

What a stay looks like

Boarding dogs stay in 5×5 indoor kennels with attached 5×10 outdoor runs. Doggy doors let each dog move between inside and out. The buildings are climate controlled, kennels are sanitized daily, and each kennel has its own drain so waste does not travel between runs. Every dog gets a raised bed off the floor, and soothing music plays through the building 24 hours a day.

Play and exercise

Group play happens in a 9,000 square foot fenced kennel yard. Dogs are matched by temperament and turned out in small groups rather than one large crowd. Indoor play space is available too, which matters during a Montana winter.
