Daycare Training in Carlton and Sturgeon Lake, MN

We pride ourselves in the treatment that we give your dog in our kennel. Our climate-controlled (heated, air-conditioned, and dehumidified) kennel is designed to give each dog the best care and a great time. They might not even want to come home!

We offer:

  • Private stalls for each dog.
  • Elevated Kuranda bed in each stall.
  • 7 fenced-in runs in each location.
  • 5 outside play-sessions per day.
  • Central AC system, a heated floor, UV filtration system and commercial grade dehumidifier.
  • Flexible drop off and pick up hours: 7am-7pm on weekdays; 7-10am and 4-7pm on weekends and holidays.
  • Are able to handle also dogs who have behavior issues or need medications/Insulin etc.



The dogs stay at one of our locations, either in Carlton or Sturgeon Lake. The kennels are heated and air-conditioned. Each dog has their own kennel with toys, fresh water and a Kuranda elevated dog bed. In addition to training, dogs go out 5 times a day to play in one of our fenced-in yards.  The kennel has a heated slab and central AC system, so the temperature inside is always very comfortable.


During the dog's stay you can bring your own dog food otherwise we can also feed our own dog food.
We use 'Life's Abundance' dog food.


We have spacious private stalls for each dog, large fenced-in areas outside. While the stalls are large, our kennel is small. By limiting the number of dogs we can host, we make sure that we give your dog all the attention they need. All dogs get at least five running and playing sessions per day, either with other dogs or alone depending on their preference.

We charge $48 plus tax per night for the first dog, and $38 plus tax for the second dog from the same family. You can call or email us to make a reservation.

For boarding, we require a Boarding Customer Agreement. In addition, dogs need to be up to date on their vaccinations, including Rabies, DHPP and kennel cough (Bordetella). Most veterinarians offer the Bordetella vaccine as an option. Therefore, make sure to check whether your dog is up to date also on Bordetella before boarding him with us. Please make sure to bring a copy of your dog's vaccination records with you, or ask your vet to email it to us directly.

Add a training session to your dog's stay.
In addition to boarding, we also offer obedience training sessions for $30 each. These sessions are offered on weekdays, and depend on the availability of our trainers.

Does your dog need a bath ?
We can also give your dog a bath if you want us to. Please let us know in advance so we can make sure that he is ready for you at the scheduled pick up time. Baths are $45.

Kennel Cough

Kennel cough is a contagious, upper-respiratory disease, similar to common cold. Here at RR we do the best we can to minimize the risk for kennel cough. All dogs that board with us are up to date on their vaccination. Our kennels are cleaned every day with special detergent for kennels. Our A/C system in the kennel is an industrial level system, and we use medical grade filters in the rooms. While the spread of kennel cough can be minimized by proper cleaning, isolating obviously sick animals, and properly ventilating the facility, remember that no amount of supervision, sanitation, or personalized care is guaranteed to be 100% effective against the illness.
