Bounding Hound

I’ve been taking my sweet but crazy Sheepadoodle to Bounding Hound for more than 3 years and we both love it! The staff are friendly and professional, always welcoming Bear by name and greeting me as well. Bear is a very reactive pup who has clearly benefited from the ongoing training provided. Especially when I drop him off, it’s clear that he knows what’s expected of him… to sit patiently until a staff member comes to get him and to try to keep his happy excitement under control until he’s safely inside. I especially love Bounding Hound’s boarding philosophy. They have kennels for dogs who are comfortable with them but also have beds scattered throughout so that dogs can sleep “free.” Bear is a mama’s boy and I’m happy to say that I have absolute confidence in their treatment of him!!

Love Bounding Hound!! We were feeling like we were living in chaos but didn't know what to do about it. What's cool about Bounding Hound is they don't just offer doggy daycare—they actually train your dogs while they're there. Loren takes the time to meet with you, understand your goals, and gives you practical tips to work on behaviors at home. Their transportation service has been a total game changer, helping us juggle getting kids to school/work/after-school activities. The team is flexible, communicative, and genuinely loves dogs. They treat them like their own. Our dogs have a calmer demeanor in general and stopped jumping on guests since working with BH. Great option for busy families!

I have used the services of Bounding Hound for nearly four years. They are highly professional. Our dog (a formerly abused German Shepherd rescue) has made significant strides in behavior - all through the careful training and guidance from the Bounding Hound staff. You will not find a better facility to train, groom or board your pet. I strongly recommend them.

Bounding Hound is the best place to board your dog in Iowa City! The staff are incredible across the board and did a great job making our nervous dog feel comfortable.
