Camp K9

 

Boarding made for dogs who don’t do boring.

 

Welcome to Camp K9—Ideal Canine’s premium boarding experience for dogs who need more than just a potty break and a bowl of kibble. This isn’t your run-of-the-mill kennel stay. This is specialized care, enrichment, and structure for dogs who like to do things—and for humans who want to make sure their dog doesn’t unravel the second they’re out of sight.

 

Camp K9 was designed with working dogs, sport dogs, and high-drive companions in mind. Whether your dog’s high-drive, high-strung, or just one trigger away from going full gremlin—we see them, we get them, we’ve got them covered.

 

And let’s face it—your dog doesn’t belong in a chaotic, overstimulating kennel with 20 other dogs in a screaming playgroup. They deserve a stay that actually meets their needs.

 

What makes Camp K9 different?

 

At Camp K9, your dog gets more than a place to crash—they get a custom-tailored experience that engages their body, brain, and nose. While other boarding facilities rely on oversized playgroups to “tire dogs out,” we take a more thoughtful, controlled approach to enrichment. The goal isn’t to just exhaust them—it’s to satisfy them.

 

During their stay, your dog can enjoy:

 

  • Sniffari walks to exercise their nose and decompress their brain

  • Scenic hikes on local trails

  • Slatmill time (for those on a conditioning plan or just love to run)

  • Drag sleds or chain work, tailored to their comfort and capability

  • Balance/core workouts for strength and body awareness

  • Food puzzles, scent games, and outdoor enrichment stations

  • Daily training sessions with Kristi to reinforce skills or learn a few new tricks

 

This isn’t just a kennel—it’s your dog’s version of a retreat.

 

Who’s behind the leash?

 

Kristi (hey, that’s me!) brings nearly a decade of training and competing experience to the table. I’ve trained and competed in PSA for nearly a decade, competed in ADBA Top Dog events for five years, and spent years handling and caring for patrol and detection dogs. I get high-drive dogs—and I built Camp K9 because I know exactly what they need to thrive when they’re away from home.

 

Your dog will live with me in a quiet, structured home environment—No chaotic kennel vibes, no sensory overload—just calm, structured care from someone who actually knows what they’re doing.Instead, your dog gets personalized care, calm downtime, and fulfilling activity every single day.

 

What’s included?

 

  • A cozy, home-style boarding environment

  • Daily enrichment, training, and structured activity

  • Regular updates via social media

  • Easy communication through text or email

  • A custom handout with the training we covered

  • Oh—and a swag bag of goodies for both you and your dog, because why not?

 

Perfect for breeds like:

 

  • Malinois

  • Dutch Shepherds

  • American Pit Bull Terriers, AmStaffs, SBTs, American Bullies

  • German Shepherds

  • American Bulldogs

  • …and other breeds who need more than just a backyard and a nap

 

Investment:

 

$90/day + GST

 

If your dog is a go-getter, a sport prospect, or just a dog who needs a job, Camp K9 was made with them in mind. When your dog stays here, they don’t just board—they train, play, explore, and come home fulfilled.

 

Let’s give your dog a staycation they’ll actually enjoy.
