You're researching hotels, comparing flights, and trying to decide whether your dog should come along for the adventure or stay closer to home. Meanwhile, your dog is quietly listening from across the room. They don't understand airline points. They don't care about rental car upgrades. They definitely aren't excited about spending eight hours in traffic. What they do care about is something much simpler: "Am I going to have fun?" As a dog boarding and daycare facility in Reno, we've seen both sides of the vacation question. Some dogs absolutely love traveling with their families. Others would much rather enjoy their own staycation while their humans are away. The Vacation Your Dog Imagines When you say "vacation," your dog probably pictures endless walks, unlimited treats, and spending every minute by your side. Unfortunately, that's not always how family vacations work. Many trips involve long drives, airports, hotel rooms, restaurants, shopping, sightseeing, and activities where dogs aren't allowed to participate. While you're enjoying a day of adventure, your dog may spend much of that time waiting. For some dogs, that's perfectly fine. For others, it's stressful, confusing, and frankly a little boring. What Happens When Your Dog Stays in Reno? Now imagine your dog could plan their own vacation. There would probably be friends. There would definitely be playtime. There would be people whose entire job revolves around making dogs comfortable, safe, and happy. That's exactly what many dogs experience during their stay at On Command. Rather than adapting to unfamiliar hotels, crowded destinations, and unpredictable schedules, they get to enjoy a routine designed around them. Meals happen on time. Exercise happens every day. Playgroups are carefully managed. And there are plenty of opportunities for attention, affection, and rest. Every Dog Has a Different Personality One thing we've learned over the years is that no two dogs are alike. Some dogs thrive on adventure. Others thrive on routine. Some are social butterflies who can't wait to make new friends. Others are happiest with a comfortable place to relax and familiar caregivers nearby. The goal isn't simply finding a place for your dog to stay while you're gone. It's finding a place where your dog can genuinely enjoy themselves. A Little Learning Along the Way Many Reno pet owners are surprised to learn that boarding can also be productive. If your dog could benefit from a training refresher, improved manners, or reinforcement of skills they're already learning at home, training opportunities may be available during their stay. When vacation is over, your dog comes home having enjoyed themselves—and perhaps with a few polished skills as well. So What's the Right Choice? The answer depends entirely on your dog and the type of trip you're planning. If your vacation revolves around outdoor adventures together, bringing your dog may be the perfect choice. But if your plans involve long travel days, busy schedules, hotels, restaurants, and activities where dogs can't participate, your four-legged family member may be happier enjoying their own vacation right here in Reno. While you're away making memories, they'll be busy making a few of their own. Looking for Dog Boarding, Daycare, Training, or Grooming in Reno? The team at On Command is here to help your dog stay active, comfortable, and cared for while you're away. Call 775-827-3647 to schedule an evaluation and learn why so many Reno families trust On Command with their pets.  As dog owners, we all want the same thing a happy, healthy relationship with our four legged family members. We picture peaceful walks, a calm home environment, and a dog that listens when it matters most. But let’s be real—sometimes reality looks a lot more like getting pulled down the sidewalk, dealing with non stop barking, or frantically chasing your pup when they slip out the front door. If you’ve ever felt embarrassed by your dog's public behavior or frustrated by a lack of listening at home, you aren’t alone. At On Command Dogs, we know that a well behaved dog is a happier dog, and it all starts with clear, structured communication. Whether your pup is a regular in our dog daycare or loves getting pampered by our professional grooming team, we are thrilled to share how our specialized dog training courses can completely transform your life together.
Why On Command Training Works Dogs are natural pack animals. They thrive when they understand rules, boundaries, and what is expected of them. When a dog doesn't have that structure, they can become anxious, hyperactive, or pick up bad habits like jumping and digging. Our professional training programs are built on a kind yet firm approach, utilizing voice, praise, and proper, balanced corrections. We don't just teach your dog tricks we teach them a reliable language so they can make better choices. Here is what makes our course exceptionally effective Real World Commands We focus on highly useful, foundational commands that keep your dog safe and manageable in any situation, including Sit, Stay, Heel, Place, and a reliable Recall (Come). Overcoming Bad Habits From leash aggression to boundary jumping, our professional trainers address specific behavioral challenges directly. Confidence & Freedom A dog that responds to commands can go more places with you! No more leaving your furry friend behind because they are a "handful" in public. Train While They Stay: The Bootcamp Experience We understand that life gets busy. Between work, school, and family, finding hours every day to dedicate to rigorous training can be tough. That is why we offer our incredibly popular In Residency On Leash Training Programs (Bootcamp). Your dog can stay with us, enjoying a structured environment where they receive personalized, daily training sessions from our expert team. They get the socialization of our daycare, the comfort of our suites, and professional education all at once. Alumni Bonus Once your dog completes an On Command training course, they unlock lifetime benefits! They are eligible for a $25 Refresher Training during any future boarding or daycare stay to keep their skills razor sharp. The On Command Difference More Than Just Training What makes On Command Dogs truly unique is that we are a full service care facility. We look at your dog's well being from every angle Our Professional Training builds a lasting bond, clear communication, and impeccable manners. Combine that with our Supervised Daycare, where your pup can burn energy safely in playgroups sorted by size and age, and our Expert Grooming team, who provides full service styles and soothing baths to keep them looking and smelling great. Imagine dropping your dog off for a day of fun daycare, having them complete a professional training session, getting a fresh bath and nail trim from our groomer, and picking up a calm, clean, perfectly behaved pup at the end of the day. That is the On Command standard. Ready to Improve Your Dog's Behavior? Don't wait until a bad habit becomes a permanent routine.

Here’s what to expect when you arrive to drop off your dog for their stay.
How Long Will It Take? The check-in process typically takes about 10 minutes, so plan accordingly to ensure you have enough time to complete all necessary steps without feeling rushed. Step 1: Arrive with Your Dog on a Leash When you arrive, please bring your dog in on a collar and leash. This helps ensure their safety and allows us to smoothly transition them into our care. Step 2: Bring in Your Dog’s Belongings After checking in, you’ll bring in any belongings your dog will need during their stay. This might include:
Step 3: Review Feeding and Medication Instructions Our front desk staff will go over your dog’s feeding schedule and any medication instructions. Be prepared to provide:
This ensures we have accurate information to provide consistent care throughout your dog’s stay. Step 4: Final Questions or Special Requests If you have any special requests or additional information we should know, this is the perfect time to share. Our goal is to tailor your dog’s stay to meet their unique needs. A Stress-Free Start to Boarding We’re here to make the check-in process as seamless as possible so you can feel confident leaving your dog in our care.

With just 10 minutes of preparation, your dog will be all set to enjoy a safe, comfortable, and fun stay with us!  At On Command Dogs, we understand that dogs from the same family often feel more comfortable staying together. That’s why we offer family-style boarding, allowing your dogs to share a room during their stay. Here’s everything you need to know about boarding multiple dogs together.
Room Options for Multi-Dog Families We have a variety of room sizes to accommodate dogs of all breeds and family sizes. Whether you have two small pups or several larger dogs, we’ll ensure they have a comfortable space to share.
Pricing for Shared Rooms The cost of boarding depends on the number of dogs staying in the room, not the size of the room. This ensures that you only pay based on the number of pets, making it a budget-friendly option for families with multiple dogs. Benefits of Boarding Dogs Together Keeping your dogs together offers several advantages, including:
Preparing for a Multi-Dog Stay If you plan to board multiple dogs together, let us know during booking so we can reserve the best room for your family’s needs. Our team is happy to discuss room availability, pricing, and any special requests to ensure a seamless experience for you and your pets. A Comfortable Stay for Every Family At On Command Dogs, our goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and personalized boarding experience for all pets. Whether you have one dog or a pack, we’re here to ensure they have a positive and stress-free stay. Have more questions about boarding multiple dogs? Feel free to contact us today—we’re happy to help!  Properly preparing your dog’s meals is an essential part of ensuring their comfort and well-being during their stay at On Command Dogs. To help you get everything ready, we’ve put together a guide on how to prepare and pack your dog’s food, along with important details about feeding instructions and our kennel food option.
Why Bring Your Dog’s Food? We strongly recommend bringing your dog’s regular food to keep them on their normal diet. Sudden changes in diet can cause upset stomachs, so sticking to their usual food helps maintain their digestive health and keeps them comfortable. If needed, we can provide “Kennel Food” at a cost of $2.50 per meal, but bringing their own food is always the best option. How to Prepare Your Dog’s Meals When packing your dog’s food, make sure to bring enough for their entire stay, plus a little extra to account for delays or increased activity levels. Here’s how to prepare different types of food: 1. Dry Food
2. Wet Food
3. Treats
Feeding Instructions At drop-off, our front desk staff will ask about your dog’s feeding schedule and any special instructions. These details will be recorded in our system to ensure consistency and proper care.
A Stress-Free Mealtime Experience By following these guidelines, you’ll help ensure that your dog’s mealtimes remain consistent and stress-free while they’re boarding with us. If you have any questions about meal preparation or special dietary needs, feel free to contact us—we’re here to help!  At On Command Dogs, we’re committed to making your dog’s boarding stay as beneficial and enjoyable as possible. That’s why we offer a range of additional services to meet your pup’s needs, from training to grooming. Here’s a closer look at the services you can add to enhance their stay:
1. Bootcamp: Train While They Board Our Bootcamp programs are an excellent way to combine boarding with professional training. These programs are designed to address behavioral challenges, teach new commands, or reinforce obedience—all while your dog enjoys their stay.
2. Training Refresher Has your dog already completed a training course with On Command Dogs? If so, they’re eligible for our $25 Training Refresher during their boarding stay.
3. Grooming Services After days of fun and activity, why not treat your dog to a little pampering? We offer a variety of grooming services to keep your pup clean, fresh, and looking their best.
The Perfect Boarding Experience Whether you’re looking to improve your dog’s behavior, maintain their training, or pamper them with grooming, these add-on services help make their stay as rewarding as possible. If you have any questions or want to add a service to your dog’s boarding stay, contact us today—we’d love to help you create the perfect experience for your pup!  At On Command Dogs, we know how important playtime and socialization are for your furry friend. That’s why we offer the opportunity for boarding dogs to join our daycare group—but there’s a process to follow to ensure everyone’s safety and enjoyment. Here’s everything you need to know about daycare eligibility for boarding dogs.
Daycare Evaluation: A Prerequisite for Playtime Before your dog can participate in daycare, they must complete our daycare evaluation process. This evaluation helps our trainers assess your dog’s behavior, temperament, and social skills to ensure they’re a good fit for group play. The evaluation is a critical step in maintaining a safe and enjoyable environment for all dogs in our care. Scheduling the Evaluation Daycare evaluations must be scheduled with one of our trainers, and due to high demand, our evaluation appointments are typically booked 3–4 weeks in advance. If you’re planning to board your dog and want them to participate in daycare, we recommend scheduling their evaluation as early as possible to secure a spot. Daycare During Boarding If your dog passes the evaluation, they’ll be eligible to join our daycare group while boarding, provided capacity limits haven’t been reached. Daycare offers a fantastic opportunity for your dog to burn off energy, socialize, and enjoy supervised play with other friendly pups—all at no extra cost during their stay. Benefits of Daycare for Boarding Dogs Participating in daycare while boarding provides numerous benefits for your dog, including:
Plan Ahead for a Pawsitive Experience To give your dog the best experience while boarding, it’s essential to plan ahead. Schedule their daycare evaluation well before their boarding stay and ensure they’re ready for fun and safe playtime. For more details on our daycare services or to book an evaluation, click here. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us—we’re here to help you and your pup every step of the way!  Wondering what your furry friend’s daily routine will be like while boarding with us? At On Command Dogs, we ensure your pup stays active, well-fed, and cared for throughout their stay. Here’s a peek into a typical day for our boarding dogs, designed to keep them happy, healthy, and stress-free.
Morning Walks and Breakfast Our day starts early, around 5:30 AM, with the first round of leash walks in our secure, fenced backyard. These walks are scheduled every 2-3 hours to provide plenty of opportunities for exercise and bathroom breaks. Breakfast is served starting at 6:00 AM, ensuring your dog gets the energy they need for the day ahead. If your dog requires additional feedings, we’re happy to accommodate up to three meals a day. Midday Activities and Playtime Throughout the day, your dog will continue to enjoy regular walks and, if they’ve passed our daycare evaluation, they can join our daycare group for social playtime with other friendly pups. Daycare offers a fun, enriching environment with opportunities for exercise, mental stimulation, and socialization. Best of all, daycare is included at no extra cost, provided there’s availability in the group. (For more details, check out our daycare services.) Evening Meals and Final Walks Dinner is served around 7:00 PM, and your dog’s evening wraps up with additional walks to ensure they’re comfortable and ready for bed. The final walk of the day takes place around 9:30 PM, providing one last chance to stretch their legs before settling in for the night. Bedtime and Overnight Care Once all walks are complete, it’s bedtime for our boarding guests. We dim the lights to create a calm, quiet environment that promotes restful sleep. And rest assured, your pup is never alone—our facility is staffed 24/7, so there’s always someone on hand to monitor and care for your dog, even during the night. A Day Tailored to Your Dog’s Needs At On Command Dogs, every dog receives personalized care and attention. Whether your pup thrives on playtime, prefers a calm routine, or has special dietary needs, we’re here to ensure they have a safe and enjoyable stay. If you have any questions or specific requests for your dog’s boarding experience, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’re committed to giving your pet the best care possible while you’re away!  Boarding your dog can feel like a big step, but with a little preparation, you can help ensure your pup feels right at home. At On Command Dogs, we strive to provide a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for your furry friend. To make your dog’s stay as smooth as possible, here’s a breakdown of what to bring—and what to leave at home—when boarding with us.
