Your Dog Knows the Commands. Can They Do Them in the Real World?

Knowing "sit" in the living room is one thing. Doing it around people, dogs, movement, sounds and everyday distractions is something else. The Real-World Dog Training Academy is a six-week small-group program designed to help dogs and their owners take obedience out of the training room and into everyday life.

A More Personal Approach

A More Personal Approach to Dog Care

Not every dog wants the same day. Some thrive with other dogs. Some prefer people. Some need activity. Some need more rest. Some need help with their manners. And many need a little of everything. That's why Boarding Bungalow takes a more individualized approach.

Small-Group Interaction

Appropriate social interaction without treating every dog as though they belong in one large playgroup.

Individual Attention

We get to know the dog—not just the reservation.

Private Rest Spaces

Dogs have their own space to rest and decompress between activities.

Structured Activity

A good day isn't simply nonstop play. We balance interaction, activity and rest.

See What a Day at Boarding Bungalow Looks Like

From the moment your dog arrives to the moment you pick them up, their day is built around a thoughtful balance of activity, interaction and rest.

Every dog's day looks a little different. We balance activity, interaction, rest, enrichment and training opportunities around the individual dog.

Training Philosophy

Training Should Work Where Life Happens

Dogs don't live in training rooms. They live around front doors, sidewalks, visitors, other dogs, cars, stores, noises, movement and distractions. That's why our approach goes beyond teaching a dog what a command means.

We work toward helping dogs understand how to respond when the world around them becomes more interesting than the person holding the leash. From puppy foundations and private lessons to day training and our Real-World Dog Training Academy, the goal is the same:

Better communication. Better choices. Better behavior in everyday life.

The People Behind Boarding Bungalow

Boarding Bungalow is built around a simple idea: every dog deserves to be treated as an individual.

Tanya and Michael bring different strengths to the business, united by the same commitment to thoughtful, personalized care. Michael brings years of hands-on dog training experience, while together they have shaped Boarding Bungalow around getting to know the dogs and families they serve—not simply processing reservations.

It's a more personal approach to dog care, and it's why we'd rather invite you to come meet us and see Boarding Bungalow for yourself.
