Not sure where to start?
Every dog is different. We can talk through what’s going on and find the right fit.
Start with a conversation and we’ll guide you from there.
Tell me about your dogThis isn’t just care.
It’s structure, intention,
and understanding.
Graceful Hounds is a home-based boarding and training experience built around one thing: doing it properly.
We keep our environment intentionally low-volume so every dog receives the attention, structure, and clarity they actually need. No chaos. No overstimulation. No being overlooked.
Here, your dog isn’t just supervised.
They’re guided, supported, & understood.
Built on experience.
Backed by real understanding.
Graceful Hounds is run by me and my partner Kyle, alongside our crew.
With a background in veterinary care, dog training, and years around working animals, everything here is built on structure, clarity, and real understanding of behaviour.
What sets us apart
Low-volume care
We limit how many dogs we take on so each one gets proper attention.
Structured environment
Clear routines help dogs feel calm, stable, and confident.
Real-life results
What your dog learns here carries into everyday life.
Experienced handling
Backed by veterinary and training experience.
Individualized care
Every dog gets a plan that fits them.
Calm, not chaotic
No overcrowding. Just a space where dogs can settle.
What the dogs had to say
Yam
“Yam came to Graceful Hounds as a sweet but extremely fearful and reactive dog. Through Gracie’s four-week board and train program, she gained confidence, learned to trust new people, and developed important coping skills. Gracie provided exceptional care, communication, and support throughout the process. We’re incredibly grateful for Yam’s transformation and highly recommend Graceful Hounds.”
Board & Train
Arnold
“Before working with Gracie, our lives revolved around managing Arnold’s resource guarding, destructive habits, and other challenging behaviours. After just three weeks of training, we saw an incredible transformation. Gracie’s knowledge, patience, communication, and genuine care gave our family the tools and confidence we needed to succeed. We can now enjoy life with Arnold instead of constantly worrying about him. We highly recommend Gracie to anyone looking for real, lasting results.”
Board & Train
Cola
“Since working with Gracie, Cola’s recall has improved so much and she’s become more confident and responsive. I also feel completely comfortable leaving her with Gracie when our family is away. Cola settles in quickly, feels at home, and always comes back happy. Knowing she is somewhere calm, familiar, and structured gives me so much peace of mind.”

Wilbur
“Highly recommend Graceful Hounds! Boarding your dog can be nerve-racking, especially when it’s your first time. Gracie sent lots of pictures and videos throughout Wilbur’s stay and reassured me that he was settling in well, which immediately put me at ease. The dogs receive plenty of exercise and stimulation, and I love having the option to add training or enrichment. I’m so happy we found Gracie!”
Boarding
Shelby & Calico
“Thank you, Gracie, for taking the most amazing care of my dogs. I’m a helicopter dog mom and won’t leave them with just anyone, but I felt confident that they were in great hands. I really appreciated the frequent updates and all the photos and videos. Shelby and Calico felt like they were on their own vacation while I was away. I highly recommend Graceful Hounds for any of your boarding needs!”
Boarding
Indy & Rev
“I’m very particular about where and with whom I board my dogs. I always worry that they’ll spend the entire day in a kennel, which they are not accustomed to. Within a couple of hours of dropping them off, Gracie let me know how they were adjusting. She continued checking in and sent so many photos. They’re an energetic breed, but they came home happy, well cared for, and tired!”
