Behaviour-Focused Boarding combines the comfort of home-based care with the structure, enrichment, and training support Bella & The Misfits is known for.
Rather than spending the day in a kennel or simply being supervised until you return, boarding dogs become part of our daily routine. Each dog receives individual attention, appropriate exercise, enrichment, structured downtime, and training throughout their stay. We continue reinforcing the skills your dog already knows while also working on areas where they may need a little extra support.

Training is naturally incorporated into everyday life. That might mean practicing calm behaviour around the house, working on impulse control, reinforcing leash skills, building neutrality during an outing, or simply learning that they don't need to be involved in everything happening around them. And while we're definitely big on structure, your dog's stay is still supposed to be fun! There is plenty of time for play, sniffing, exploring, enrichment, affection, and just hanging out. The goal isn't to have your dog “working” all day; it's to create a healthy balance between activity, learning, rest, and being a dog.

Because we intentionally keep our boarding numbers small, we're able to adjust each dog's routine based on their individual needs rather than expecting every dog to fit into the same schedule.
