Maude and the Bulldogs, LLC

Maude and the Bulldogs, LLC offers in-home dog boarding and training in Madison, WI, hosting dogs in a private home rather than a row of kennels. Groups stay small, and each day follows a set rhythm: a structured walk, supervised play indoors and outside, then real rest. The structure is the point. Dogs who settle better with a routine, and owners who want a trainer's eye on their dog, are the intended fit.

What a stay includes

• Structured daily walks matched to the dog
• Supervised indoor and outdoor play
• Structured rest and place time between activities
• Medication administration and grooming
• Instagram Story updates during the stay, plus a complimentary Shutterfly photo album afterward

What sets it apart

Boarding takes place in a home environment with around-the-clock supervision. Keeping groups small is a deliberate choice: it leaves room for individualized care based on a dog's temperament and training background. The business is credentialed through the International Association of Canine Professionals (IACP), and training is a core service here rather than an add-on. Stay-and-train boarding pairs an overnight stay with focused training work, which suits owners who want their dog to make progress while they travel. Puppy boarding is available for young dogs that need closer supervision.

Rates, booking, and requirements

Published nightly rates run from $78 to $225, depending on the type of stay and the dog's needs. Booking is handled online. Vaccinations are required before a dog can stay, so owners should have vet records ready when they inquire.

Getting in touch

Inquiries go through the website at maudeandthebulldogs.com, or by email at maudeandthebulldogs@gmail.com. The business also posts on Instagram and Facebook, which is a reasonable way to see how stays actually run day to day before committing to a first booking.
