Boarding and daycare

A vacation for your dog at Connecting K9

At Connecting K9, our dog boarding and daycare in Alexandria (LA) are designed to give dogs a safe, structured, and enjoyable experience while their owners are busy with work, travel, or daily responsibilities.

Whether your dog is joining us for daycare or staying overnight, we focus on individual care, enrichment, and comfort — treating every dog like one of our own.

Dog Daycare at Connecting K9

Our dog daycare in Alexandria (LA) provides dogs with a positive outlet for energy, engagement, and routine while owners are away during the day.

What Daycare Includes

• Multiple potty breaks throughout the day

• One-on-one playtime with staff

• Mental engagement and structure

• Supervised, calm environment

Daycare allows dogs to stay active and engaged without being overstimulated or overwhelmed.

Socialization Options

Dogs do not have to socialize with other dogs in our care.

• One-on-one care is always available

• Dog-to-dog socialization is optional

• Group play occurs only with owner permission and appropriate compatibility

This ensures safety and comfort for every dog, regardless of personality or history.

Dog Boarding in Alexandria (LA)

Our dog boarding in Alexandria (LA) is designed to feel like a vacation — not a kennel stay.

What Boarding Includes

• Multiple potty breaks daily

• One-on-one playtime with staff

• Trips to our 7-acre field for extra running and exploration

• Calm routines and individual attention

We prioritize comfort, routine, and personal care, so dogs feel safe and relaxed during their stay.

Optional socialization during boarding

Just like daycare, boarding dogs:

• Are not required to interact with other dogs

• May socialize only with owner approval

• Are matched carefully for safety and compatibility

Day Board & Train Add-On (During Daycare or Boarding)

Owners may choose to add Day Board & Train to daycare or boarding stays.

​

How Day Board & Train works

• Dogs receive multiple training sessions per day

• Focus is on teaching foundational skills

• Each day builds understanding — not a full routine

It’s important to understand that one day of training does not create a fully trained dog. Obedience improves through:

• Repeated day board & train sessions

• Consistent training at home

• Ongoing reinforcement over time

Day Board & Train is an excellent way to support progress while your dog is already in our care.

Enrichment Matters — Optional Add-Ons Available

Every dog benefits from enrichment, but many dogs need more than playtime alone. While dogs naturally receive enrichment through:

• Sniffing in the yard

• One-on-one interaction

• Physical movement

We also offer enrichment add-ons (added to daycare or boarding rate) for dogs who benefit from extra mental stimulation.

Enrichment Add-On Options

• Lickmats or Stuffed Kongs

  • Given twice daily

  • $10 per day

• Scent Work Sessions

  • Structured scent-based enrichment

  • $15 per session

• National Forest Walks

  • Leashed exploration in a natural environment

  • $20 per walk

These options help reduce stress, build confidence, and keep dogs mentally fulfilled.

Individual Care Comes First

At Connecting K9:

• Dogs are treated like family

• Care is customized to each dog

• Safety and wellbeing come before convenience

Whether your dog is staying for the day or a longer boarding visit, we focus on quality care, structure, and enrichment.
