The "Skinny" Board & Train

An Exceptional Puppy Boarding Program Offered EXCLUSIVELY to Owners Enrolled in Puppy Training!

Are you ready to RELAX on vacation while your puppy receives the best care and daily training while living with an expert puppy trainer? Look no further. Your search for a perfect puppy boarding solution is over!


You have learned by now that your developing puppy requires structure, consistency, careful socialization, and daily training to become the perfect family dog that you've always dreamed of owning. You've dedicated time and energy to raising your puppy well, but you're about to leave town and have concerns that your excitable puppy will overwhelm a friend, or perhaps you've made training progress that you don't want to come undone at a boarding facility. This is where Happy Hounds steps in! When you enroll in our "skinny" Puppy Board & Train Program, you can enjoy worry-free travels and rest assured that your puppy is practicing only the best behaviors while staying with expert puppy trainer, Jenn Fantasia. 


Boarding your puppy with a kind, experienced trainer in a home environment is the ideal alternative to a noisy and chaotic boarding facility or a preoccupied pet sitter. With very limited enrollment, Jenn guarantees that your puppy will get plenty of love, attention, playtime, socialization, consistent reinforcement of polite manners, and daily positive training. Flawless puppy raising is not just Jenn's full time job, it's her passion!

Happy Hounds believes that ALL puppies benefit from formal training, which is why ***Puppy Boarding is offered EXCLUSIVELY to puppies/owners who are currently enrolled in or have completed any of our Puppy Training programs**​*

What to Expect

THE SPACE:  In this puppy boarding program, your puppy lives comfortably at home with expert puppy trainer, Jenn Fantasia. Puppies enjoy ample supervised access to the house and yard, and bedtime spent in the safety of their personal crate. Puppies in boarding are treated as part of the family and will enjoy age-appropriate social experiences that might include exploration walks at local parks, summertime pool parties in the backyard, and plenty of playtime with other friendly pups. When it's particularly hot, cold or rainy outside, we play in our 700 square foot temperature-controlled training room! *Scroll down for photos of Jenn's home*


FOOD, TREATS, & CHEWS: You provide your puppy's food and are welcome to send along any specific treats that you want them to enjoy during their stay. No matter what you pack, rest assured that your pup will regularly receive puppy-safe teething chews ranging from bully sticks, frozen stuffed KONGs, Nylabones, and other chew items to help them through that challenging teething stage. Jenn's freezer is always stocked with top-notch puppy-safe chews and treats!


PHOTO & VIDEO UPDATES: Jenn knows how much you miss your puppy while on vacation, so she'll send daily photos and updates straight to your phone. You are also welcome to directly check in on your fur-baby as much as you'd like by simply texting Jenn while you're away.
