Trademark Kennels

Trademark Kennels offers hands-on overnight dog boarding in Fredericksburg, VA, along with obedience training and puppy classes. The kennel sits on a wooded country property. Its approach is personal, and staff take time to get to know each dog in their care.

What does a boarding stay include?

Every stay includes daily walks and turn-out time. Dogs sleep on raised beds and get daily recreation with toys and baby pools. The kennel describes a structured routine that balances play with rest, because it believes nonstop stimulation leaves dogs more stressed.

• Overnight boarding at $40 per night
• Daily walks and turn-out on a wooded property with walking trails
• Medication administration and special diets
• Grooming, including nail trims
• Obedience training plus AKC Canine Good Citizen classes and testing

Can owners add extras to a stay?

Yes. Owners can add countryside walks on the property's trails, extra play sessions, pup cups, and nail trims. It makes sense to request these when booking so staff can plan around them.

Who handles the training?

Training is a large part of what Trademark Kennels does. Its credentials include AKC Canine Good Citizen Evaluator, AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Instructor, and membership in the Association of Professional Dog Trainers. The kennel is also an AKC Breeder of Merit and a member of the German Shepherd Dog Club of America, and it breeds German Shepherds. Owners who want a stay to double as a training refresher can ask about board-and-train.
