Our sweet 13year old Barbie dog has been staying with Melissa at HK9 Academy since she was a puppy. They have always been very accommodating and have always treated Barbie like she was one of their own. I highly recommend them!

About Happy K9 Academy
Happy K9 Academy’s boarding facility is staffed 24/7 365 days a year to ensure we give the best experience possible to each pup in our care! We intentionally keep our boarding facility small so we can spend a generous amount of time one on one with each dog to meet their mental, emotional and physical needs! We provide reward based training through group classes, stay and train programs and private training lessons!

Oh my goodness hands down the BEST place with BEST people. We have 2 older chihuahuas and one is a love bug with the other being what you would picture of a Chi (lol) they have never been boarded in their 11 years with us and to say we were nervous wrecks well we were. They let me come take a tour and then met with the dogs I always felt welcome and it was a comforting experience. They sent us texts and photos and to say that the gremlin chi made new besties is an understatement. We actually think our two fur babies miss their new friends. Huge thanks to Ashlyn and Anna (I hope Cadence did eventually hit friend level with the boy babysitter lol). To say we will use Kamp K9 again is a resounding YES 🫶🏼🫶🏼🫶🏼. Thank you to all of the staff for everything
They are the BEST!! Our dogs LOVE going there. Total fun days when they go. The team at K-9 Academy always gives them the most love and takes care of them like they were their own. Love you guys!
We have been taking our goldendoodle there for years and we couldn't be more pleased with her care...and neither could she!!
Being staffed 24/7 provides peace-of-mind, and the staff is amazing ! Ashlyn, Ana and Liz make sure pets get personalized care, and we highly recommend it for boarding.
