Buddy Boarding

What they offer

Buddy Boarding Farm, run by Nick and Carly Crotinger since 2015, is a boarding and daycare retreat on 8 acres of fenced land near Cincinnati. Dogs spend their days in pack play, splashing in pools, exploring fields, and lounging, then sleep in climate-controlled farmhouse and barnhouse spaces. The model is home-style, family-run care designed as an alternative to crowded kennels.

Training note

The owners describe themselves as certified in dog training and obedience, and they offer optional one-on-one sessions for higher-energy dogs that include structured walks, puzzle games, scent searches, and flirt-pole work. However, the site frames these as enrichment within a boarding stay rather than a standalone obedience-training curriculum. Owners primarily looking for behavior or obedience training should confirm scope directly; those seeking a spacious, attentive boarding and daycare environment will find this a strong match.
