Why Professional Dog Boarding is Different at Riley Kennel & Farm

When most people think of dog boarding, they picture a basic kennel where dogs are fed, watered, and kept safe until their owners return. At Riley Kennel & Farm, our professional dog boarding in Indiana is fundamentally different — and that difference matters for your dog.

A Kennel Run by Professional Dog Trainers

Most boarding facilities are staffed by kennel workers. Our facility is managed by experienced dog trainers who understand canine body language, social dynamics, and behavior. This means every dog in our care is supervised by someone who can read stress signals, prevent conflicts, and ensure a calm, structured environment from the moment your dog arrives to the moment they go home.

Structure, Socialization, and Safety

We offer structured socialization sessions — not free-for-all dog parks where chaos can escalate. Every interaction is supervised, intentional, and designed to reinforce calm, polite behavior. Dogs leave our kennel better than when they arrived, not more wound up.

Boarding Rates and Availability

We offer straightforward, all-inclusive pricing: indoor kennels at $45/day and outdoor kennels at $40/day. Structured socialization sessions are available at $25/day. Because we prioritize a safe and structured environment, all new boarding clients undergo a brief consultation. Learn more about our boarding program and inquire about availability here.

Combine Boarding with Training

Many of our boarding clients are also training clients. If your dog struggles with reactivity or needs obedience work, consider pairing your boarding stay with our Reactivity Reset board-and-train program or our Family Dog Obedience board-and-train. Your dog can make real progress while you are away — and come home a better companion.
