Strategic Paws Boarding offers high quality, low-stress boarding for your dog. Our boarding kennels are large solid wall kennels, many with a private outside patio. Dogs enjoy at least 15 minutes, several times a day outside in a securely fenced two acre field. Many other amenities are available, which you can view from our boarding page.

Charli discovers fireflies, I mean come on, how adorable!

There is so much that happens when you play with your dog. Most of all, a bond is strengthened. What people may see, playing with my dog. What is happening, working on engagement, building a solid game in preparation for obedience, and building solid returns. #foundationtraining #littledogstoo #ballfeelings #ripples

Is your dog this excited to start a training session? #foundationtraining #sillydobie #strategicpawstraining

Blurring the lines between, training, play, and exercise. That's Foundation Training and that's why I like to call it a lifestyle and not a six week sit, down, stay training program. Three things your dog needs; physical exercise, mental exercise, and down time. I love this little bit of video. Yes we are working on heeling, but it shows Ronin's enthusiasm for some of the above.

Foundation Training! Ronin and I are practicing stay with beginner distractions. We are much further along in distraction practice but, it's always good to go back and run through easy stuff. #confidenceboost #backtobasics #havingfun #foundationtraining #strategicpawstraining #ballfeelings

Winter fun! music: A quick party before the end of the world by Francesco D'Andrea

We’re making trails! The snow is deep enough that we need to make trails out in the field for small dogs and non-snow loving dogs! Lance is out there making all kinds of fun trails for the dogs. Watching your dogs race along the trails……..priceless!

Our dog Chaos has something to say!!! 🥳🎉🤩

Hey! Are you interested in exercising and training your high energy dog all at the same time? Just a quick glimpse of what is coming in the new year. You don't need to train a fancy heads up heel like this, there is so much you can teach your high energy dog while getting in the needed exercise. More to come January! music, Comfortable by James Gardin

Last potty break, check. Bedtime treats, check. Good night! 😴💤😘🌙

Here is a great example of socializing a puppy. This puppy is learning, - how to be around people without getting excited, - confidence by watching automatic sliding doors and hearing shopping carts, - moving with a shopping cart without being scared, - how to be calm and handler focused while out and about! Exposure without being scared is the key. If this puppy was worried about anything here, I would back up and give much more distance to my puppy while eating treats and watching.

SAVE THE DATE! Join me for a short Facebook Live! You can type in your question and I'll answer after the talk. Play time can be a bit controversial among both dog professionals and owners. I tell you how we view the subject and handle play time between dogs. Feel free to share with anyone you think would be interested! See you there! :)

Our Story

Strategic Paws Boarding is run by husband and wife team, Lance and Connie Moss. They live on the property and are currently the entire staff! Lance left his job teaching science for sixth graders, and Connie left her job at United Airlines to follow her passion of working with animals.

These aren’t just any boarding kennels, this place is about viewing the boarding experience from the dog’s perspective. Every single thing is thought through and considered from the dog’s point of view. From the kennels themselves to the environment, and the interactions between the dogs.

Kennels are designed so that dogs cannot see each other, as most dogs actually don’t find this situation particularly comforting.

Most afternoons, during quiet time, there will be a delicate scent of lavender in the air to encourage calming behaviors.
