Call of the Wild is a training school first and foremost. Our boarding program was developed to complement our training. Boarding is offered as a service to our training clients, and dogs in our boarding program must have a training relationship with us.
Boarding dogs spend their day in our premium daycare. The same high standards that characterize our training program are applied to daycare and boarding.
Most dogs that board are already familiar with our facility, our staff, our routine and each other. Because of this, adding a sleep-over is very stress-free.
Boarding dogs receive physical and mental stimulation in our highly structured daycare. Once bedtime comes, the dogs are already content and tired. They sleep well because they have been stimulated during the day.
We are staffed 24/7. Our highly trained dog care staff spends the night in the same room where the dogs sleep. Your dog is never left unattended.

Canine influenza vaccination (H3N2)*

-
In order to book a boarding, your dog must have been at COTW for daycare, daycare with training, ITE, boarding, or an evaluation day within the last 6 months
*Canine influenza vaccination (H3N2): As of March 2023, due to the national shortage of this vaccine, we are waiving our requirement for this vaccine in favor of a strong recommendation, if you are able to get it. If your vet does have the H3N2 vaccine available, we recommend that it is given 7 days prior to your dog attending daycare/boarding, as your dog will be able to mount a more sufficient immune response 7 days post-vaccine. If your dog is not up to date with the H3N2 vaccination, we recommend that you confer with your vet about the safety of your dog attending daycare/boarding without the H3N2.
