Silva's Dog House

Silva's Dog House provides in-home dog boarding and dog training in Frenchtown, MT. Dogs stay in a house rather than a row of kennel runs, and the people who board them are the same ones running the training programs. Booking is handled online, and a free consultation comes first.

What they offer

Boarding here is built around structure, so a stay follows the same kind of routine used in the training programs. Owners who want to do the handling themselves can book private one-on-one lessons. The business also works with puppies, basic and advanced obedience, reactivity, and e-collar training.

• In-home boarding instead of kennel-run housing
• Private one-on-one lessons and board-and-train programs
• Daily photo and video updates
• GPS and health monitoring
• Medication administration and outdoor space

What sets it apart

The trainer holds a Certified Dog Trainer (CDT) credential, and the team is Pet First Aid certified. The free consultation gives owners a chance to describe their dog's history and goals before committing to a program. Daily photos and videos, along with GPS and health monitoring, mean owners are not left guessing about how a stay is going. Outdoor space is part of the setup.

Practical details

The address is 17916 Mullan Rd, Frenchtown, MT 59834. Enrollment and booking happen online at silvasdoghouse.com. Calls and texts go to (406) 274-7867, and email reaches the business at silvasdoghouse@gmail.com. Silva's Dog House also posts on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube, which is a practical way to see how the trainer works before making contact. Because the boarding and training sides are run together, owners looking only for a place to leave a dog and owners looking for behavior work end up in the same conversation at the consultation stage.
