Behavior Boarding for Reactive or Sensitive Dogs in McHenry, IL

Calm, structured care in a home, not a kennel.

A Safe Space for Dogs Who Need Something Different

Not every dog thrives in a traditional boarding kennel. Loud spaces, constant stimulation, and unpredictable routines can be especially tough on reactive dogs, anxious dogs, or those working through behavior concerns. At Freedom Found K9 in McHenry, IL, I offer a different option: one-on-one behavior boarding in a calm, structured home. Your dog gets individualized care designed by a certified behavior professional—so they feel safe, understood, and supported.

What’s Included in Our One-on-One Dog Boarding Program

Calm, Individualized Care. One Dog at a Time

Your dog won’t be just another number in a kennel. This is a one-on-one boarding experience designed for dogs who need structure, peace, and support. No other dogs will be boarded during your dog’s stay unless we’ve specifically discussed and approved it together. That’s how I make sure your dog gets the attention, space, and consistency they deserve.

What Your Dog Receives Each Day:

  • Enrichment activities (puzzle toys, sniff games, light training)

  • Yard time or structured walks based on your dog’s comfort

  • Play sessions, movement breaks, or decompression time

  • Quiet rest in a home setting (not a kennel)

  • Calm hangout time in the main living space

  • Personalized routines for meals, rest, and regulation

  • One-on-one care tailored to your dog’s personality and needs

  • Optional add-ons like skill refreshers or training games
