Kaiser Canine Academy

Kaiser Canine Academy is a training-focused dog boarding business at 4622 Chestnut Road in South Charleston, WV. It offers overnight stays, board-and-train programs, dog walking, and in-home drop-in visits. Boarding costs $50 per night, and every boarded dog gets three 30-minute walks a day.

What makes Kaiser Canine Academy different?

Training comes first here. The academy uses fear-free, positive-reinforcement methods, so dogs are rewarded for the behavior owners want to see. Its listed credentials include Penn Foster certification and APDT trainer status.

That focus carries into boarding. Owners can choose a board-and-train stay instead of a standard visit, and the academy also works on behavior modification and puppy training. Boarding takes place in a home-based setting.

What does a boarding stay include?

• Overnight boarding at $50 per night
• Three 30-minute walks every day
• Climate control, outdoor space, and indoor play
• Medication given when a dog needs it
• Progress reports and video updates during the stay

The updates help owners keep tabs on their dog while they travel. A short video clip often answers the question every owner has on a trip: is my dog doing okay?
