Ivy League Dog Training & Boarding

Ivy League Dog Training & Boarding is a kennel in Walcott, ND that offers overnight dog boarding and training in one place. The facility sits at 17160 County Road 2, and it also serves owners driving in from Fargo and Moorhead. Boarding and training run alongside each other here rather than as separate products.

What the kennel offers

Dogs booked for an overnight stay can add grooming or training work to the same visit. The kennel describes its space as clean, secure, and spacious, with room for dogs to move around, and its staff as experienced people who give each dog personal attention. Playtime is part of the day.

• Overnight boarding for dogs
• Training programs, including board-and-train stays
• Grooming available during a stay
• Daily playtime
• Personalized attention from experienced staff

What makes it different

The training side is what most owners come for. Staff reinforce lessons outside of formal sessions, so what a dog practices in training carries into the rest of the stay instead of stopping at the session door. The kennel calls this a two-part approach, and it shapes how boarding is run: a stay is meant to support the training, not pause it. Owners who want plain boarding without the training add-on can book that too.

Practical details

The kennel is open 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM, seven days a week, weekends included. Booking is handled online through the Ivy League website. Questions go to (701) 899-1341 or ivyleaguedt@gmail.com, and the business keeps an active Facebook page. The County Road 2 address puts it out in the country rather than in town, which is worth planning for if it is a first-time drop-off and the drive is unfamiliar.
