Boarding

Overnight Dog Boarding Services

Located in Hydes, Maryland


We get it – your dog is a cherished member of the family. That’s why Adventure Dogs Academy provides your dog with the same level of attention and care that we give our own pets. Because we max out at three dogs per day, your pup is not going to be left alone in a kennel all day with only a few bathroom breaks. Our goal is to meet your dog’s needs via physical and mental exercise, snuggling and petting, with a comfortable, quiet place to rest.

FAQs

Is my dog a good fit for boarding at Adventure Dogs Academy?

Comfortable with confinement

Your dog must be comfortable being confined or left alone for brief periods of time during the day. If they are used to being with someone 24/7, we will likely not be a good fit.

Acclimation stay required

Your dog must complete a one or two-night acclimation stay, where you are available to pick them up if needed. Why? Boarding in a new place can be stressful. This determines whether they’ll be comfortable for their longer stay, and if they’re borderline, we can make adjustments ahead of time.

Human aggression

We do not work with dogs who are human aggressive.

Dog selective or reactive

Dogs can be dog-selective or dog-aggressive; please note they will not meet other dogs if this is the case. If your dog cannot handle seeing a dog at a distance, or hearing another dog nearby, we will not be a good fit.
