PhDogs Dog Training

PhDogs Dog Training is a dog boarding, daycare, and training facility in Jurupa Valley, CA. It suits owners who want their dog cared for and taught good manners at the same time. Boarding, daycare, board and train, and group classes are all offered in one place.

What services does PhDogs offer?

The business is built around training, and that focus shows up in every service it lists. Its K9 Camp is a board and train program, so dogs stay on site while they work on their skills. Owners get time with a trainer too.

• Overnight boarding with time in large play and exercise yards
• Dog daycare for exercise and enrichment during the workday
• K9 Camp board and train, with pick-up and drop-off available
• Weekly owner lessons that show what the dog has been learning
• Puppy, agility, and obedience group classes

What makes it different from a standard kennel?

Training credentials are the main difference. PhDogs lists certification by the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers (CCPDT), and it is also an AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator. Few boarding facilities can point to credentials like these.

The yards are set up for dogs to play with friends, or on their own if they prefer. A dog has to pass a temperament test before joining the social groups. Unaltered and non-social dogs are still welcome for boarding. They just don't join the dog socials, which makes PhDogs an option for owners whose dogs don't fit group-play rules elsewhere.
