Crowned K9s Academy

Every stay at Crowned K9s is a board-and-train. Dogs live with us in a structured, training-first environment — we do not offer standalone boarding.

Based in the Raleigh–Durham area, with Academy clients welcomed from anywhere in North Carolina.

NC

Compliance update: To align with North Carolina animal welfare requirements, Crowned K9s offers board-and-train programs only under Crowned K9s Academy. We do not provide standalone boarding services.

Training-First By Design

We are a Board & Train program, not a kennel. Every day includes structure, boundaries, and impulse-control work in a real home setting—crate etiquette, threshold manners, leash manners around the house, and calm settling. Dogs leave more regulated than they arrived.

Two Academy Tiers

Basic Board & Train is perfect for owners who need a trusted stay that also builds structure, impulse control, separation-anxiety support, and safe, supervised socialization. Advanced Board & Train is our full Crowned K9s Academy protocol for foundational obedience, behavior modification, reactivity, and aggression work.
