Black Forest Dog Resort

Black Forest Dog Resort is a boarding, daycare, grooming, and training facility at 9750 Flaming Sun Dr in Colorado Springs, CO. It handles dog boarding in Colorado Springs out of private kennel suites, with grooming and training offered alongside overnight stays.

The suites and outdoor access

Kennel suites come in 4x4, 4x6, 4x8, 12x6, and 12x12 sizes. Every kennel has an attached 12 or 16 foot outdoor run, and dogs have access to that run 24/7. The 12x12 Big Room includes a twin size bed and a TV. Dogs who can't have bedding are set up on Kuranda bed cots instead.

How a day works

Dogs head out to the outdoor yards for play time several times a day. There is no group play with unfamiliar dogs. Yard time is family-only, so dogs from the same household go out together and everyone else takes their own turn. Enrichment such as stuffed Kongs is part of the routine. Day boarding is also available, with a morning drop off and an evening pickup the same day.
