About Keynine Academy

<h2>All-in-one daycare, boarding and training on Ramm Drive</h2>

<p>Keynine Academy operates at 8815 Ramm Dr in Naperville and describes itself as a single location covering daycare, boarding, grooming and training, plus birthdays and events. The about page sets out what it says makes it different: a &ldquo;Loving, Experienced Team&rdquo; of trained professionals, all-in-one services &ldquo;under one roof,&rdquo; and a purpose-built space.</p>

<h3>The facility</h3>

<p>The site gives specific figures for the building: &ldquo;over 6400sqft of indoor space, and more than 4500sqft of outdoor play areas, cozy boarding suites, and plenty of enrichment activities.&rdquo; The FAQ adds that the outdoor area is fenced to six feet, secured at the bottom to stop dogs escaping, inspected daily, and fitted with a double gate, and that no dog is outside without a staff member nearby.</p>

<h3>How the day is run</h3>

<p>The FAQ is the most detailed part of the site and reads as house rules rather than marketing. Every dog must have the required vaccines, be spayed or neutered and pass a temperament test, which follows a pet application and a review of veterinary records. Puppies are expected to be at least 12 weeks old with their first full round of adult shots, and about two weeks past initial vaccinations. At least two staff are kept in the play area, with a typical ratio of about ten dogs to one staff member depending on size and activity. Dogs are separated by size, and crated for rest, time-outs or nap time. The site states that a dog who bites a staff member is expelled from daycare and boarding, and is frank that group off-leash play carries risk it can mitigate but not remove. Training is listed as a service but the site does not break it into named programs, and it names neither an owner nor a head trainer.</p>
