This place is phenomenal for dog training. The main trainer has a seemingly endless knowledge of…read moredogs and puppies and how to train them, a positive upbeat attitude, and a willingness to step in and provide extra guidance when it is needed. The entire staff at Carlson's is exceptionally nice, and my daughter and I are slowly, slowly getting our very famous and headstrong beagle to be more focused, and slightly less ridiculous. The training could not be better, and the trainers are incredibly patient with us. I can't recommend them enough to anyone thinking of seeking dog training. The doggy socialization alone makes this a very worthwhile endeavor; the expert training staff makes it a bargain.

October 15-November 24, 2025 - New Horizon Kennel is by far the best and most compassionate kennel…read moreby far. My husband had a medical emergency and I needed to house my dog Bailey for 6 weeks while he was in the IA City hospitals. I would come home once a week to do laundry and repack my bag, go thru the mail and bring Bailey home overnight to spend time with her and take her back the next day when I would return to IA City. They worked with me and accommodated my schedule every week for those 6 weeks so I didn't have to worry about my sweet girl. They always asked how my husband and I were doing and if there was anything they could do from their end. The employees did an outstanding job comforting me in my tearful moments and reassuring me that I had nothing to worry about as far as Bailey, my sweet girl went. I have used this kennel for years, this is my 2nd lab that has gone here, so I have been going here for over 15 years and it just keeps getting better. Tim and Sarah and their crew are the best. I truly recommend this kennel for your fur babies.

We called and asked for a tour after a HORRIBLE experience somewhere else. They let us come right then and check everything out.

They took great care while we boarded for 11 days and we're happy to give updates when we called to to check on him. I was so impressed with them that I applied and got a job there when they had an opening. We just signed Oliver up for there 4 week training program. Can't wait to get him back and see the things they helped him accomplish..

Activities are varied every day. We get pictures sent to us 2x a day and we get a "report card" each day.
