🐾 Luxury Dog Boarding in Andover & Augusta, KS: A Better Way to Board Your Dog

When most people think of dog boarding, they picture a loud warehouse of stacked kennels, nonstop barking echoing through cement walls, rushed potty breaks, and stressed-out dogs who can’t relax.

That is exactly what we built Andover Dog Training Center to avoid.

Our Augusta boarding campus was designed from the ground up to create a truly different experience — one that prioritizes your dog’s emotional wellbeing, comfort, and structure instead of squeezing as many dogs into one building as possible. There are no kennels here.

Every dog stays in a private Grand Lodge suite — their own cabin with indoor comfort, outdoor freedom, and constant care from professional trainers.

🚫 The Problem With Traditional Boarding

Most boarding facilities operate on the same outdated business model:

• Rows of metal kennels stacked close together

• Dozens of dogs barking and feeding off each other’s anxiety

• Minimal outdoor time — often just quick potty breaks

• Stressful group play being used as the only “exercise” option

• Little attention to individual mental or emotional needs

Even well-meaning facilities unintentionally create environments where dogs struggle to relax.Noise overload, confinement, overstimulation, and lack of personal space cause many dogs to experience anxiety rather than rest.

The result?Dogs often return home overly tired, anxious, or behaviorally regressed — not happier or better balanced.

🏡 A Completely Different Boarding Experience

At ADTC we took a total departure from the kennel concept.

Every guest stays in a private Grand Lodge suite, designed to provide dogs what typical boarding never can:

✅ Climate-controlled indoor lodging✅ Spacious 10x20 fully covered private outdoor yard✅ Freedom to move between indoors and outdoors through a dog-safe door✅ Quiet, low-stress environment✅ Daily individualized enrichment✅ Live camera visibility for owners

Your dog is not surrounded by barking neighbors.They aren’t locked in a small crate waiting for a staff member’s schedule.

They enjoy privacy, space, and autonomy — just like a real vacation.

🌿 Why Freedom of Choice Is So Important

Dogs thrive when they have control over their environment.

Traditional boarding removes that choice entirely — dogs must wait for scheduled potty walks and endure nonstop sensory overload.

At ADTC, dogs can:

• Step outside when they want fresh air

• Lounge inside when they prefer to rest

• Explore their private yards safely

• Settle naturally instead of being overstimulated

This “freedom within structure” approach leads to:

✅ Reduced noise-based anxiety✅ Improved emotional regulation✅ Better sleep cycles✅ Healthier digestion✅ Lower post-boarding regression

Most dogs leave calmer than they arrived.

🐕 No Forced Group Chaos

Not every dog enjoys mass group play — and forcing it often causes more issues than benefits.

That’s why we do not rely on daycare-style group yards at ADTC. Instead:

• Dogs receive individual playtime and mental enrichment

• Carefully selected social interactions occur only if appropriate

• Exercise options include walks, trainer play sessions, treadmill work, structured outings, and scent enrichment

This system prevents injuries, overstimulation, and emotional shutdown — allowing each dog to thrive safely based on their own needs.

🧠 Built & Run by Professional Trainers

ADTC isn’t a pet sitting business — it’s a training facility that offers boarding.

That means:

• Dogs are supervised by certified trainers trained in canine behavior.

• Stress signals are recognized early and addressed properly.

• Calm structure replaces chaos.

• Daily handling builds confidence instead of amplifying anxiety.

Your dog doesn’t simply “stay somewhere.”

They are supported by behavior professionals the entire time they are with us.
