The Hounds Club

The Hounds Club is a cage-free dog boarding and daycare facility at 520 West Windsor Road in Glendale, CA. The kennel keeps dogs out of crates day and night, and staff supervise the building around the clock. Grooming is handled in-house, so a stay can end with a bath and a trim.

What a day looks like

The indoor and outdoor dog park is divided into three play areas, so small dogs, sprinters, and nappers each have space that fits them. Dogs set their own pace rather than following a fixed schedule. New dogs take a temperament assessment before they join a playgroup. The facility is climate-controlled, and webcam access lets owners watch the play areas during the day.

What makes it different

Boarding dogs sleep in the Deluxe Bunk Room on plush custom communal bunk beds instead of individual kennels. A staff member sleeps overnight alongside them, so nobody is left alone after closing. The owners describe the club as the kind of place they would leave their own dogs, and the layout reflects that: open play space, shared sleeping, and people on hand at every hour. It suits social dogs who like company more than dogs who want a room to themselves.
