Our canine hotel offers the following amenities:

• Know Thy Dog is the only canine facility in SW Montana founded and consulted by established Professional Dog Trainers. All of our canine handlers have received extensive and in-depth training based on this perspective.
• The facility has over 6000 sq. ft. of indoor space with five fenced play yards on an acre of property. Our yards have 7’ solid wood fencing for security with a 10″ dig down beneath..
• Missing your pup while you are away? (Of course you are!) We photograph every dog, Monday through Thursday, and post on our Facebook page as well as Instagram stories. In addition, you can text our staff to check on your dog during their stay.
• We run rotating supervised playgroups from 7am to 11:30 pm EVERY DAY. All boarding dogs enjoy several hours of playing in calm, supervised playgroups of 15 or less dogs during the day and night, hand-selected by our behaviorally-trained staff to make sure our furry clients are safe and comfortable while socializing.
• We offer tons of one-on-one attention for dogs approved for Premium Individual Program (dogs who do not socialize with other dogs, dogs who are intact over our age limit of 10 months, females in heat, dogs who are medical solos e.g. have stitches or medical devices). Dogs are accepted into the Individual Programs on a case-by-case basis and receive quality couch and play time with our staff.
• During play, dogs are rotated outside (and fully supervised) for potty breaks every 15 minutes. We do not want to encourage indoor potty accidents.
• We only use dog-friendly, non-toxic cleaning products inside our building and on our property.
