🏡 In-Home Dog Boarding with Professional Trainers

$65 per night | Serving Canby, Milwaukie, and the Portland Metro Area

Looking for a calm, loving, and structured overnight environment for your dog?
Our In-Home Dog Boarding service offers your pup a unique stay with one of our professional trainers and their family—not in a kennel, but in a real home.

🐶 Who Will Care for Your Dog?

At Harmony Canine Training, your dog will live inside the home of one of our experienced trainers, receiving the same care, love, and structure we give our own pets.
This is not a traditional boarding kennel—it's a premium experience focused on safety, behavioral support, and home-style comfort.

💤 Where Will Your Dog Sleep?

• Dogs sleep inside our trainer’s home

• At night, your dog will be safely crated for routine and comfort

• During the day, your dog is part of the family—relaxing, playing, and practicing calm, polite behaviors in a home setting

This is a great option for dogs who need a lower-stress alternative to kennels, or who have already completed training and benefit from continued reinforcement of good habits.

🐾 Why Choose In-Home Boarding?

• Trainer-supervised care with attention to behavior

• Home comforts & calm environment

• Maintains structure and manners while you’re away

• Perfect for dogs with mild anxiety or those used to living indoors

✅ Reserve Your Dog’s Stay

Let your dog enjoy a safe and structured vacation while you’re away.

🥣 Feeding, Care, and Expectations for Boarding Dogs

At Harmony Canine Training, we prioritize both your dog’s physical well-being and emotional comfort during their stay. Whether they’re here for in-home boarding, kennel boarding, or board and train, we tailor their care to meet individual needs.

🍽️ Where Will My Dog Eat During Their Stay?

If your dog is enrolled in Board & Train, they will often work for their meals as part of the training process—encouraging focus and engagement. However, we never deprive dogs of calories or essential nutrition.

Each pup receives:

• 1–3 meals per day, served in a work-to-eat toy or traditional bowl, depending on their comfort level

• Balanced food intake to maintain weight and energy

• Hand-fed training sessions that reinforce structure and skills

🎒 What Should I Pack for My Dog?

To set your pup up for success during their stay, please bring:

• 🦴 Your dog’s regular food (preferred to prevent stomach upset)

• 🥓 High-value treats (used during training to motivate and reward)

• 🐕 Chew items (bully sticks, Kongs, frozen bones, etc.) to soothe anxiety during downtime

• 💊 Any medications or supplements with instructions

Forgot something? We can provide kibble or chews for an additional fee, but we always recommend sticking to your dog’s usual diet whenever possible.

📷 Will I Get Updates About My Dog?

Yes! We send regular photo or video updates throughout your pup’s stay, so you can rest easy knowing how they’re doing. You’ll receive highlights of their progress, playtime, and rest.

📝 What Do You Need from Me?

Transparency helps us keep your dog safe. Please tell us everything we need to know, especially:

• History of anxiety, aggression, or reactivity

• Medical needs, triggers, or special preferences

• Any prior training methods that have worked (or not)

Our team is skilled in handling a wide range of behavior cases, but we can only support your dog well if we’re fully informed.
