Dog Boarding Services in Minnesota

Neuman K-9 Academy offers dog boarding and training services in Minnesota exclusively to graduates of our training program.

Maintaining what your dog has already learned requires consistent reinforcement of training and commands. At Neuman K-9 Academy, we create an environment where proper etiquette is a way of life and your dog's strengths are continuously reinforced. During their stay, your dog will be housed in the lower level of a home, not in a kennel run, barn, or garage. Their sleeping area features in-floor radiant heat, a constant supply of climate-controlled fresh air via an HRV system, and a medical-grade air purification system, all designed for safety, comfort, and cleanliness.

We welcome dogs of all breeds and sizes from across Minnesota including Minneapolis, St. Paul, Eden Prairie, Minnetonka, and the Twin Cities area provided they've completed one of our dog training programs. This ensures every dog boarding with us is familiar with our routines and training standards, creating a smooth, low-stress experience.

Neuman K-9 Academy will ensure that your dog's educational needs are met - whether it's for a weekend getaway, an extended vacation, or an upcoming business trip! Leave your dog in trusted hands while you're away with care, comfort, and continued structure.

Dog Boarding Routines:

During their boarding stay, your dog will follow a structured daily routine that includes:

• 4-Supervised play groups per day
• Socialization with staff and other dogs (as appropriate)
• Structure and reinforcement of good manners and training protocols
• Individual sleeping areas during rest time and overnight

Reinforcing Your Dog's Training

Our board and train service isn't just overnight care, it's also an opportunity to reinforce your dog's training. During their stay, we help maintain what your dog learned in boot camp, including:

• Obedience commands like place, leash walking, holding stay, and come
• Nature hikes with oppurtunities to practice off-leash recall
• Calm behavior and appropriate play styles during play groups
• Confidence and impulse control through structured drills

Policies:

1. Veterinary records of immunization must be current or submitted at least two weeks prior to your pet's arrival for dog boarding.
2. The day of drop-off counts as the first billable day of dog boarding.
3. If a dog is picked up after 11:00 AM when going home, there will be a charge of $44 to cover play groups and late checkout.
4. The minimum boarding stay is two days. While overnight dog boarding is available, the fee is charged as a two-night minimum.
