Dual Services
At Bayard Kennel, your dog receives calm, structured care from professional trainers who prioritize safety, clarity, and confidence-building. Our dog boarding in Jacksonville, FL, doggie daycare, and training programs are designed to support your dog’s well-being while giving you peace of mind.
Dog Boarding
Our dog boarding services provide your dog with a safe, comfortable, and caring home-away-from-home while you’re away. We focus on more than just housing your dog — we prioritize routine, enrichment, and personalized attention.
Each dog receives daily exercise and plenty of one-on-one care from our trained staff. Dogs are maintained on consistent schedules for feeding, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, helping them feel secure and relaxed during their stay.
Doggie Daycare
Our doggie daycare provides a safe, structured, and fun environment where your dog can play, socialize, and relax while you’re away. Designed with your dog’s well-being in mind, our daycare is supervised play.
Dogs are grouped thoughtfully based on size, temperament, and play style to ensure safe and appropriate interactions. Throughout the day, our trained staff actively supervise all play sessions.
2-Week Board & Train
Our two-week board & train program is an immersive training experience designed to jump-start your dog’s obedience and behavior. Your dog stays with us for two full weeks, receiving daily, structured training sessions.
During their stay, your dog will work on:
*Basic obedience commands such as sit, down, stay, place, and recall
*Loose leash walking and improved focus around distractions
*Threshold manners, impulse control, and calm behavior
*Addressing common behavior challenges like jumping and pulling.
Mantrailing
Mantrailing is a scent-based activity that teaches dogs to locate a specific person using their unique human scent. Unlike traditional tracking, mantrailing allows dogs to follow scent through real-world environments such as urban areas, trails, and open spaces — making it both mentally stimulating and highly rewarding.
This activity taps into a dog’s natural scenting abilities, building confidence, focus, and problem-solving skills. Dogs work on a long line and harness, learning to independently follow scent trails while communicating their findings to their handler.
Pet First Aid & CPR Classes
Our pet first aid & CPR classes empower dog owners with essential emergency skills. Taught by certified instructors, these classes cover how to respond to common emergencies, handle injuries, and provide lifesaving care until veterinary help is available.
