Why Choose Boarding and Daycare with The Dog Way?
Unlike most canine care facilities that allow unwanted behaviors—such as barking, jumping, or aggression—At The Dog Way, we do more. Our approach focuses on providing full-time, quality education for every dog in our care. By using true canine-based methods and philosophies, we foster the development of healthy habits and behaviors.
Our Philosophy
Prevention Over Correction:

Structured Care:
Dogs thrive when provided with clear boundaries and strong leadership. We offer a 24/7 cage-free, high-quality, structured environment where only healthy behaviors are nurtured and encouraged.
Lasting Behavioral Improvements:
With consistent, high-quality, structured education, every dog learns behaviors they can take home, fostering a happier and healthier relationship and lifestyle with their family.
Follow Training for you: Training for you is just as important as training your dog. Learn the skills, techniques, methods, and philosophies needed to ensure their newly learned good behaviors follow them home.
