Your Good Dog

Your Good Dog is a cage-free dog boarding, daycare, and training facility for small breeds in Key Biscayne, Florida. The facility is at 660 Crandon Blvd #170, and it accepts small dogs only, so playgroups stay evenly matched by size. Published nightly rates run from $70 to $170.

Services and amenities

Overnight guests stay in private suites rather than crates or runs, and daytime activity is built into the boarding stay. Grooming and training happen on site, and staff can handle special diets.

What sets it apart

The small-breed-only policy is the main difference here. There are two roomy playrooms, one indoor and one outdoor, and the outdoor area is fully fenced with K9 turf. Inside, the floor is a specialized 3/8-inch shock-absorbent rubberized surface, which is easier on small dogs' bones and joints, and TVs are on for added stimulus. Agility equipment and a doggie pool round out the play options, and the facility hosts pool parties. Nap times mid-day are supervised, so dogs are not going full tilt from open to close.

Training credentials

Training is part of the same operation, not a referral elsewhere. Credentials include an APDT Professional Membership, AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Evaluator status, and AKC S.T.A.R. Puppy Evaluator status. The facility also holds IAABC certified membership, with CDBC pending.

Practical details

Your Good Dog is open 9:00 AM to 6:30 PM every day of the week, including weekends. Bookings are made by phone at 305-710-0502, so owners should call ahead rather than expecting drop-in space. Proof of current vaccinations is required before a dog stays. More detail on services is at yourgooddog.com.
