South Denver Dog Boarding: A Better Way to Board for Your Puppy

Premium Boarding

At A Better Way to Board, your puppy (or puppy-loving dog) won’t just be tucked away in a kennel waiting for your return. Instead, he’ll live with us as part of the family, receiving 24/7 care and attention. Our goal is to send him home with more skills, greater confidence, improved socialization, and—most importantly—very happy!

(Please note: many wonderful adult dogs do NOT enjoy puppies. Typically, adult dogs who do still enjoy the company of young ones are playful, patient and easy-going. Because of our emphasis on puppies, it can be challenging to accommodate very large dogs and giant breeds, due to the size difference.)

Amenities:

- Play all day with other well-socialized furry friends — carefully monitored by a professional dog trainer at our home 24 hours a day. The dogs enjoy both indoors in a comfy, dog-friendly house, and outdoors in a spacious yard.
- Engaging activities throughout the day – like water play in the mini-pool, ramps, tunnels, toys, etc.
- Lots of TLC and belly rubs
- At the end of a fun day, our guests sleep as a pack together in our rooms – a wonderful way for new dogs to bond with each other. Depending on your preferences, some dogs sleep in comfy beds next to their trainer, some enjoy their crate, and a few dogs do find their way up to our own bed (if that is what they are used to).
