Professional Boarding & Training in St. Charles Since 1954

Sorenson Kennels’ St. Charles dog boarding and training facility is the finest in the country since 1954. Our kennel is located on 50+ acres with two beautiful lakes and seven outdoor areas for the dogs to play and exercise. 

Accommodations are available for all breeds of dogs and cats. Our boarding & training in St. Charles also offers obedience classes, puppy training, and dog training. As one of St Louis, Missouri’s highest quality labrador and retriever breeders, we also provide specialized hunting dog training classes. Additional areas we serve include Defiance, Weldon Spring, Wentzville, and Lake St Louis.

Our Boarding is Your Pet’s Best Home Away From Home    

We offer three different kennel setups in St. Charles for you to choose from based on the needs of your pets. We also offer dog daycare options.

• The indoor kennels have a sleeping area, an exercise run with heated floors, and climate control. The many windows and skylights provide natural light, and the large ventilation systems consistently deliver fresh, clean air. The set-ups are large enough to accommodate two dogs from the same family. 
• Indoor-outdoor kennels have sleeping areas that are temperature controlled, and the outside portion is under a roof and screened-in for security. 
• Puppy room suits are smaller but include three recesses daily for playtime and potty breaks. The cozy suites are great for small dogs and first-timers. 

If you travel a lot, we can take your pet(s) to the airport and handle all your shipping needs. Pick-up and delivery services are also available.  

Private Cat Condos Complete With Entertainment!

Feline guests at Sorenson Kennels have their rooms away from the dogs. Spacious interconnecting condos allow one or multiple cats privacy and comfort. Our cat kennels in St. Charles have an outdoor view through the many windows where they can watch the bird feeders for constant entertainment! Boarding includes dry or wet foods, kitty litter, litter pans, and food and water dishes.

Puppy Kennels & Training for Joyful Pet Ownership

Welcoming a dog into your life can bring immense joy, but it can also be a source of frustration when your furry friend lacks proper training. This is especially true for new puppies just beginning to explore the world. Puppies, in their formative stages, lack the understanding of right or wrong. Yelling at a puppy might seem tempting, but their cognitive abilities are still developing, making it challenging for them to grasp your intentions.

Puppies possess short attention spans, but they’re primed to learn basic obedience commands at a tender age. With over 65 years of expertise in training puppies and dogs in St. Charles, Sorenson Kennels is your trusted partner in this endeavor. Enroll your puppy in our specialized Puppy Training program in St. Charles, Missouri, and provide your young canine companion with the finest care.

In addition to teaching commands and behaviors, early puppy training plays a crucial role in socializing your pet. Socialization ensures they feel at ease around humans and other dogs. It also prevents the development of fears or phobias, such as those related to children or car rides. Embarking on puppy training is a pivotal milestone in your journey as a dog owner. It paves the way for your beloved pet to grow into a well-mannered and contented companion.
