Dog Boarding For Members
Dog Lodging at DGA Inn
When it comes to dog lodging, our facilities and our daily activities have dogs far and wide excited for their next stay. Your dog will receive specialized attention and individual care in addition to a cozy private space, 1-hour daily walks, playgroups and more!
What Are The Benefits of A Training-First Community?
SAFETY – Your dog is joined by other trained dogs that can be easily directed and that have been pre-monitored for any potential issues.
BONDING – We spend individual time training each dog which naturally builds close relationships. We’re more like family and a home-away-from-home for our DGA Dogs.
FOCUSED CARE – Our team is able to provide more individualized attention for dogs because we can spend less time managing their behavior and more time giving belly scratches and having fun.
FREEDOM! – One of the ultimate benefits for trained dogs is that they can be trusted to roam free on campus or on a hike instead of being limited to a kennel.
Member-Only Dog Boarding
Private Cozy Kennel – Your dog will have a comfortable place to relax in private, with a bed, food, treats and water.
Playtime on Campus – Socialization helps your dog reduce fear and unhealthy behaviors. Your dog will learn healthy interaction with other dogs and is sure to make a new friend (or 5) to play with.
Daily Exercise – Our dog boarding also includes a one-hour hike or on-leash walk to ensure your dog gets the heart-healthy exercise they need.
Special Attention and Care – Your dog will receive special attention and petting from our staff. We also monitor general health and check for lumps, bumps and sores as well as the behavioral well-being of each dog and report on anything that needs attention.
Communication and Updates – We will provide daily report cards as well as occasional photo and video shares on Facebook.

The DGA Boarding Club
It’s no fun having to leave your furry friend behind when you’re traveling. So when you do, you don’t want to risk bringing them somewhere unfamiliar. You want to know they will always have somewhere to go that is safe and trusted.
That’s why we created the DGA Boarding Club. It’s a simple, fuss-free option for pet parents who want peace of mind that whether they are headed on a pre-planned trip or a sudden, last-minute one, their dog will always have access to their home away from home with no questions asked.
HOW IT WORKS:
- Board your dog ANY TIME without the risk of being told the schedule is full
- This is a yearly subscription. Pay the one-time $1,200 fee (per dog) and you’re set for stress-free boarding for the whole year. We will remind you when your contract is coming up.
- Club members receive a free bath with a 4-day+ stay. You’ll come back to a clean, fluffy dog.
- Standard boarding policies still apply such as drop-off and pick-up times
- Standard nightly boarding fees still apply. This membership is for unlimited access to guarantee a reservation whenever you need it but does not include the nightly boarding fees.
Price Per Dog – 1,200/Year
