Short-Term Boarding for Dogs Near Houston, Texas
Sometimes you just need a few days away — but when you own a high-drive dog, even short-term boarding requires the right kind of facility. Whether you're heading out for a weekend hunt, a family trip, or a quick work assignment, The Gundog Club offers short-term dog boarding for Houstonians that’s safe, structured, and tailored to dogs that work.
Why short-term boarding still matters
Even for a few days, a boarding environment can shape your dog’s mental state. In a chaotic or understaffed kennel, dogs often come home anxious, overstimulated, or regressed in their training. But with the right structure, a quick boarding stay can actually benefit your dog — reinforcing boundaries, keeping their mind sharp, and ensuring their routine stays intact.
That’s our approach at The Gundog Club: short-term care that respects the dog, not just the schedule.
Who is this designed for?
We specialize in boarding for gundog breeds — dogs that thrive with structure and clarity. Our short term boarding program is ideal for:
- Retrievers like Labradors and Goldens
- Pointers like German Shorthairs, Vizslas, and Brittanys
- Flushers like Boykin Spaniels, Cockers, and Springers
Whether your Lab is a seasoned duck dog or your Springer is a young flushing prospect, we know how to manage their energy and maintain their progress — even over just a few days.
Will my dog be worked during their stay?
Absolutely. Our members come to us because they know that each dog will have training sessions, even during a short stay, to reinforce obedience, field manners, or just increase conditioning. Every dog is given time, structure, and thoughtful handling.
Short term boarding here isn’t about containment — it’s about continuity. Your dog’s routine won’t be interrupted. It’ll be supported.
What sets The Gundog Club apart?
