As a dog trainer and behaviourist based in Coventry, I’m often asked where’s best to board a dog — especially for dogs who might struggle emotionally when left somewhere new.

 

I don’t offer home boarding myself, but I do support lots of dogs who need a little extra help when it comes to being apart from their humans.

 

Whether your dog is staying at kennels for the first time or has had a tough experience in the past, being prepared can make all the difference. So here are some of the most trusted home boarding and dog kennel options in Coventry, along with a few quick tips to help your dog feel safer when you’re away.

 

Looking for the best dog boarding in Coventry? Here are 5 trusted options recommended by local dog trainer Carrie’s Canines.

Its the summer holidays and if you’ve not booked a holiday for your dog you may struggle to find one as they are now all getting pretty booked up.

 

I often get asked where my dogs go when I have a break and do I offer dog boarding?

 

We don’t provide home from home dog boarding at Carrie’s Canines, but there are some awesome companies in Coventry that do, as well as some great kennels.

 

You want to think about your dog and what would suit them best, is it home boarding or would your dog love going into kennels? (yes some dog thrive in kennels, but some do not).  So it is best to think about your dog and their needs and you know them best!
