PROFESSIONAL CANINE & DOG TRAINING IN SPRINGFIELD MO

Dog boarding is housing your dog at a facility outside of your home while you are away from your home for any period of time. K9 Hideaway specializes in boarding for your dog, to ensure they are pampered while in our care.

Traditional Boarding Kennels Traditional boarding kennels are the most common type of dog boarding services. They are facilities that provide a temporary home for dogs while their owners are away. These kennels typically provide food, water, and a place to sleep for the dogs. The dogs are usually housed in individual runs or cages, which may be indoor or outdoor. The kennel staff will care for the dogs' basic needs, such as feeding, watering, and exercise. Some kennels may also offer additional services, such as grooming or training. Luxury Boarding Facilities Luxury boarding facilities are similar to traditional kennels but offer more upscale amenities. These facilities may offer larger runs or suites with comfortable bedding, TVs, and even webcams so owners can check in on their pets. They may also offer additional services such as mass

Most pet care facilities do not provide overnight staff. Our state-of-the-art facility is equipped with video surveillance and protected by a central station alarm and a fire system at all times. In order to maintain an stress-free environment and promote a restful night, we do not have staff exploring the facility overnight. Most dogs are asleep before we lock up and we tend to wake them upon arrival in the morning. Our staff is here from approximately 6:30 am to 8:00 pm. *As our facility continuous to grow we will expand the night times of our staff until 9:30 pm.

Yes, we can! At K9 Hideaway, we offer individualized boarding options for dogs that may not do well with other dogs. That said, we do require that all dogs are people-friendly and able to interact well with our staff. Our team will work closely with you to understand your dog's unique needs, preferences, and behaviors to ensure that they have a comfortable and stress-free stay with us.

K9 Hideaway has got you covered! We understand that things can happen, and sometimes your furry friend might run out of food while staying with us. Don't worry! We have an in-house food option available for your dog called Pet Wants. Pet Wants’ specially-crafted, private-label pet food formulas are made in small batches with fresh, natural ingredients enhanced with vitamins and minerals for a complete and balanced diet in every bowl, all made in the USA. The company only sources the best salmon, chicken, lamb, brown rice and other ingredients available. There’s no sugar added, no fillers and no animal by-products and Pet Wants never uses corn, wheat, soy or dyes, which makes the food great for animals with allergies.

We strongly recommend not having visits. At K9 Hideaway, we prioritize the peace of mind and well-being of our furry guests. We understand that it can be difficult to be away from your pet, but rest assured that they are in good hands with our experienced and compassionate staff. We provide regular updates and photos of your dog's activities so that you can stay informed and connected even while you are away. Let us focus on giving your dog the best possible care while you take care of other aspects of your life.

We kindly ask that you do not bring toys from home to K9 Hideaway. Our playroom is an open area where your dog will interact with other dogs, and bringing in personal toys can lead to possessiveness or potential conflicts between the dogs. Additionally, many personal dog toys are not suitable for our playroom, as they may be easily torn, ripped, or chewed into small pieces that can pose a choking hazard to the dogs. At K9 Hideaway, we provide a variety of safe and engaging toys for your dog to enjoy during their stay with us. Thank you for understanding and helping us maintain a safe and fun environment for all our furry guests.

Yes, we also provide daily report cards and post frequently on social media, so be sure to follow us on Facebook, TikTok, and Youtube.

Yes, dogs from the same family can board together. We reserve the right to upgrade the dog(s) to a larger accommodation and/or separate them into separate accommodations if we feel it is in the best interest of the dog(s)’s health and safety. K9 Hideaway cannot be held responsible for any disagreements between dogs while sharing an accommodation.

At K9 Hideaway and Craigmyle K9 Training, we strictly enforce the Bordatella vaccine requirement for all dogs who attend our training and boarding facilities. The Bordatella vaccine is used to prevent against kennel cough, which is a highly contagious respiratory infection that can spread quickly among dogs in close quarters. This vaccine is required to maintain a safe and sanitary environment for all dogs in our care. We highly recommend speaking with your veterinarian about this vaccine and ensuring that your dog is up-to-date on all necessary vaccinations before attending any boarding, daycare and training classes. * The vaccine must be administered at least 14 days before their boarding or daycare reservation.

Yes, you can. At K9 Hideaway, we understand the importance of your time and commitments, so we do our best to accommodate your needs.

Yes, at K9 Hideaway we have staff available 365 days a year to ensure that our furry friends receive the best care possible. Only the lobby is closed on specified holidays for pick up and drop off.

Please contact us for any additional Holiday questions or concerns. We are committed to providing the highest quality care for each of our canine clients, year-round.

The cameras are installed in the luxury calming suites and we are waiting on our 3rd part app company to connect them to our website. We are hopeful this will be completed by July 1st, 2024. Absolutely, in our luxury calming suites we offer live web cam access! At this time We DO NOT have camera access for our traditional kennels. At K9 Hideaway, we understand how important it is to stay connected with your pup. That's why we offer a live camera feed available for viewing between the hours of 10:00 pm - 06:30 am. During the day, our playful pups are usually out enjoying our kennel-free daycare areas, so the cameras are focused on their cozy sleeping spaces at night. Additionally, to maintain a calm environment, the audio is turned off to discourage pet parents from talking to their pups through the night. This helps create a serene atmosphere essential for both the dogs and our team. So rest assured, even when you're apart, you can still keep a loving eye on your beloved pet!

All vaccinations must be administered at least 14 days prior to your reservation date. We require the following immunization: * Rabies * Bordetella * DHLPP (this is a five-way vaccine that includes viral diseases canine distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza and bacterial infection leptospirosis). Find out more about the required vaccines here.

Dogs can be boarded at any K9 Hideaway for as long as necessary! We do offer special pricing options for long- term boarding. Typical stays range from 4 to 14 days in length.

At K9 Hideaway, we do not require dogs to be altered while boarding with us. However, for the safety and comfort of all dogs in our care, we do not accept female dogs that are in heat, as this can disrupt the other dogs. Any unaltered dog may have a separate play area, depending on the dog and at the discretion of our staff to determine if it is safe for the dog to participate in daycare. We prioritize the well-being and safety of all dogs in our facility and will consider each individual case to ensure a positive and comfortable experience for every guest. * There is an added charge of $15.00 for any unaltered dog staying with us.

Our staff members are knowledgeable in how to recognize signs of distress and respond immediately with appropriate care. You can rest assured that your furry friend is in good hands with us.

If the dog requires non-emergency veterinary care during the training period, the trainer will make a reasonable attempt to contact the owner so the owner can obtain veterinary care for the dog. If the owner cannot be reached or is unable to tend to the dog’s need for veterinary care, or in the case of an emergency, the trainer will arrange on behalf of the owner for veterinary care to which the owner consents as set forth below. All veterinary fees are the responsibility of the owner. If convenient, the trainer will take the dog to the dog’s regular veterinarian, but the trainer reserves the right to take the dog to a veterinarian selected by the trainer, using reasonable care in the selection of a veterinarian. Craigmyle K9 Training LLC / K9 Hideaway will take all reasonable and necessary precautions during the training process to avoid injury.

After that, the dog can return with new dates to K9 Hideaway. K9 Hideaway may agree to have the dog recover here, and will discuss with the owner if that occurs. 4) The owner must arrange all other veterinary care, when possible.

We update you daily with our report cards system.

We strive to post daily pictures of your pups. However, there are times when a dog may not be featured due to various reasons such as needing alone time, not cooperating during play times, or engaging in activities that require privacy. We do our best and thank you for your patience and cooperation.

At Craigmyle K9 Training, we apply the knowledge and skills we've acquired over the past decade to mold and adjust your dog's behaviors. Similar to humans, dogs required ongoing training; without it, they can become lax and start to forget what they've learned. Dog training is an ongoing and constant necessity to uphold the desired level of obedience.

We use a diverse array of tools for training your dogs, including flat collars, fur savers, zip chains, and training collars. We believe that no single tool can address every dog's problems, so we utilize a wide range of tools to positively and effectively communicate with your dog.

Certainly! We provide a range of training options, from a 1 day Pawsitive Day Training and Daycare (10 hours of training and daycare), to 1 week board and train, and a 2 week board and train. If more time is required, we also offer a four week board and train to comprehensively address all of your dog's behaviors. We encourage you to attend as much of the training as you desire during the board and train time. We will keep in contact with you and send report cards daily through our app.

The short answer is Yes! To fix a behavior in a dog we must start off with the basics, obedience. During the process of basic obedience you will see a change in your dog that may fix the behavioral issue. We will work together to address the issues and tailor our training to your desire and needs.

Our sessions last an hour and include a wide range of information from training, nutrition, dog psychology, being a good dog parent, knowing your roles and responsibilities to effectively communicate with your dog.

Absolutely! We can teach your dog English, German, and Dutch commands or a combination.

Yes! We are certified Law Enforcement K9 Trainers and work with agencies all over the US. We train dogs in narcotics detection, tracking/trailing and wind scents, article/evidence locating, and suspect apprehension/detention.

We train your dog in places where you want to take them. Training your dog in places like Lowe's, Home Depot, a patio at a restaurant, provides exposure to various sights, sounds, and smells preparing them for the experiences the will encounter with you. By familiarizing them with different environments, we aim to ensure their comfort and success in diverse settings.

Yes! We travel and train dogs all over the world. We also offer LIVE online dog training session via Zoom.

We require the following immunization: * Rabies * Bordetella * DHLPP (this is a five-way vaccine that includes viral diseases canine distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza and bacterial infection leptospirosis). Find out more about the required vaccines here.

Yes! Doggy daycare is good for most dogs. Bringing your dog to daycare has its benefits, including those that improve your dog’s quality of life: 1. Plenty of mental stimulation and physical activity: Not only does this tire your pup out, but it can also reduce unwanted behaviors like constant barking. 2. An outlet to expend excess energy, exercise, and remain active: Your dog will be able to participate in daily exercise through group activities. Participants play in a cage-free environment while enjoying the freedom to stretch their legs. 3. Eases separation anxiety: By giving your pup time away from you in a safe, fun, and stimulating environment, dog daycare gives your pup great practice for alone time. Our staff will give your dog the attention and care they need to help make their stay as low-stress as possible. 4. The chance to socialize with other dogs of a similar size and temperament: Dogs are social animals, and they benefit from spending time with other dogs! Each dog is evaluated to ensure appropriate and comfortable play with the other dogs, and maintain a completely safe and healthy environment. If your dog doesn’t do well with other dogs, they can still benefit from a dog daycare—group play will be replaced with one-on-one playtime with our staff. Keep in mind, however, that if your dog is reactive (common among dogs who were rescued from abusive owners), dog daycare may not be the best idea. Please let us know if your dog struggles with aggression, and we can discuss whether behavioral training is recommended before checking in.

Daycare is recommended as often as possible! Dogs are highly adaptable and enjoy a routine that is predictable. Most commonly dogs will come between 2-4 times per week, but we very often see dogs upwards of 5 times a week! The exercise is wonderful to keep them entertained and socialized, and they will make "friends" they can consistently see and interact with at daycare. We love to see your dogs as often as we can and establish our own relationship with them, in turn making them more comfortable while in our care.

At K9 Hideaway, we understand that you may feel hesitant about leaving your furry loved one with us for the first time. However, there are a few signs that can indicate whether your dog is enjoying their time at daycare: - Your dog is excited to go to daycare and jumps out of the car or pulls to get inside. - Your dog greets the staff and other dogs with enthusiasm and a wagging tail. - Your dog is relaxed and content while playing with toys and interacting with other dogs. - Your dog eats their food and drinks water while at daycare. - Your dog comes home tired and happy, ready to cuddle with you. If your dog shows any signs of distress, fear, or aggression while at daycare, our trained staff will be able to intervene and assess the situation. We believe in creating a safe and fun environment for all dogs, and we prioritize their well-being above all else. If you have any concerns or questions about your dog's behavior at daycare, please do not hesitate to speak with our staff, who will be more than happy to address your concerns.

Yes, we separate dogs on size, temperament and history of being in doggy daycares.

All vaccinations must be administered by your veterinarian at least 14 days prior to your reservation. K9 Hideaway must have proof of vaccination on file from your veterinarian as well. We require the following immunization: * Rabies * Bordetella * DHLPP (this is a five-way vaccine that includes viral diseases canine distemper, hepatitis, parvovirus, parainfluenza and bacterial infection leptospirosis).

A dogs world is of odor and at K9 Hideaway we have many odors with the dogs that stay with us. Some dogs can become curious at all the different sights and smells at a Pet Care Facility. Some dogs may rub their noses at the bottom of the door of their accommodation in an attempt to “smell” what’s going on. If the dog’s nose rubbing is persistent, it may cause a minor cut, scrape or rawness.
