The Dog House

The Dog House is a family-owned dog daycare and training business at 6004 Franklin Road in Boise, Idaho. The main draw is Doggy Day Camp, where dogs spend the day in supervised play and social time with other dogs in a clean, safe facility. Training runs alongside the camp, covering dog obedience work and Rally O.

Services and amenities

• Doggy Day Camp with supervised play and dog-to-dog social time
• Dog obedience training and Rally O classes
• Maggie's Bakery, with fresh-baked treats made from natural ingredients
• A retail store carrying specialty dog items
• Flint River Ranch pet food, sold on site

What makes it different

Plenty of places will watch a dog for the day. Fewer bake the treats themselves. Maggie's Bakery turns out fresh-baked treats using natural ingredients, and the retail area stocks specialty dog items alongside Flint River Ranch food, so a pickup can double as a supply run. Dogs who stop in get a free bakery treat. The business is family owned and operated.

Practical details

Hours are 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM Monday through Friday, with a shorter Saturday window of 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. The Dog House is closed Sunday, so weekend plans need a Saturday drop-off and pickup. The weekday hours cover a standard work shift on either end, which helps owners who commute across Boise. Questions go to (208) 331-3060 or info@thedoghouseidaho.com, and the website is thedoghouseidaho.com. The facility also keeps a Facebook page. The full address is 6004 Franklin Road, Boise, ID 83709.
