Olympia Kennels

Olympia Kennels offers dog boarding and daycare in Chester, NH, on a 15-acre property at 168 Lane Road. The kennel also runs training programs, so the people supervising play are the same ones handling obedience work. Dogs are supervised around the clock, and the indoor areas are climate controlled.

Services and amenities

• Overnight boarding, $80 to $100 per night
• Daycare with indoor play areas and real grass outdoor yards
• Outdoor play spaces ranging from 1,500 to 10,000 square feet
• Training, from puppy work to behavior modification and board-and-train
• Treats included, with dietary restrictions accommodated

What sets it apart

The play yards are real grass, and the outdoor spaces range from 1,500 to 10,000 square feet. Dogs can also get nature trail walks on the Wason Pond trails that surround the 15 acres.

The training credentials are worth noting. Staff includes a Certified Professional Dog Trainer, and the kennel holds a Certified Schutzhund Teaching Decoy certification from the German Shepherd Dog Club of Germany. It was also the first New England breeder registered with the United Schutzhund Clubs of America.
