Gray's K-9 Academy

Gray's K-9 Academy is a training-focused kennel offering dog boarding in Lizella, GA, along with daycare, obedience training and behavior work for dogs across central Georgia. Boarding is listed at $65 per night, and reservations are made online.

What does a boarding stay include?

Boarded dogs get potty breaks at least four times a day. Each stay includes structured walks and supervised playtime, with a fenced-in play yard for outdoor time. The facility is climate-controlled and uses wireless camera monitoring to keep an eye on the dogs.

• Overnight boarding at $65 per night
• Doggy daycare
• Structured walks and supervised play in a fenced yard
• Bath and blow-dry add-on
• Obedience training and behavior modification

How is it different from a typical kennel?

Training is the core of this business, and boarding grows out of it. The team offers obedience training, board-and-train programs, e-collar training, and behavior modification and rehabilitation for dogs with problem behaviors. Their website describes a structured daily routine built around rules, walks and play instead of long idle hours in a run. That approach suits owners who want their dog's manners kept sharp while they're away.

Credentials and practical details

Gray's K-9 Academy is licensed and insured. The academy lists IACP (International Association of Canine Professionals) membership and a certified Canine Good Citizen (CGC) trainer and evaluator credential. Those credentials point to a staff that takes training standards seriously.

Posted hours are Monday from 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM, and Tuesday and Thursday from 8:00 AM to 6:00 PM. Booking is handled online through the kennel's website, graysk9.com. If your dog comes home a little dusty from the play yard, a bath and blow-dry can be added to the stay.
