WHY BLAINE FAMILIES CHOOSE CPK
Blaine has options. Here’s what makes CPK worth the drive.
Blaine has established boarding options. We respect that. But traditional kennel boarding and modern boarding aren’t the same thing.
But here’s what makes families drive 41 minutes to CPK: 24/7 awake overnight staff — not a motion sensor, not a camera check, but real people actively on site all night, every night. Complimentary full-day daycare included with every boarding stay at no extra charge. A negative pressure isolation room for sick dogs. Sarah Bostock — wolf biologist trained, certified behavior specialist — on staff for training.
Most local facilities offer some of these things. CPK offers all of them. For Blaine families heading up north on weekends, the drive on Hwy 169 makes it even easier.
24/7 Awake Staff
Someone is always here. Always active. Always monitoring. Your dog is never alone at night — not in a locked building with a motion sensor, but with real people on site all night every night. Most boarding facilities in the Blaine area don’t offer this. CPK does.
Complimentary Daycare Included
Every boarding stay includes full-day daycare at no extra charge. Your dog isn’t sitting in a kennel waiting for you to come back. They’re playing, socializing, and having a genuinely great day — included because that’s the right way to board a dog.
Live Kennel Cameras
Check in on your dog anytime from your phone. See them in their suite, during rest time, overnight. Peace of mind from wherever you are.
Negative Pressure Isolation Room
A medical-grade isolation room for any dog showing signs of illness. Most boarding facilities in the Blaine area don’t have one. CPK built one because your dog’s health matters.

WHAT FAMILIES SAY
Don’t take our word for it.
★★★★★
The owner of Country Pup Kennel gave us a full tour and seems like someone who really cares about the animals’ comfort. We live in Minneapolis, but we feel the drive is worth it to make sure he is happy and well taken care of. Plus the prices were reasonable, and they include play time in the base price which I really liked. Highly recommend.”

★★★★★
“I have toured several kennels and have not found any that I have felt comfortable with. I took Lola in for a meet and greet at Country Pup and was instantly sold. Their facility is so clean. It has a very calm feeling. Hands down better than any other place I have seen.”
