Interactive Dog Daycare Coming to Burnsville: Inside Houndstown USA
If you've ever struggled to find boarding for your dog during the holidays or wished there was a better daycare option in the South Metro, this episode is for you. Tony from Houndstown USA joins the podcast to share details about Burnsville's first interactive dog daycare and boarding facility opening this winter.
Houndstown isn't your typical doggy daycare—there are no cages, every boarding dog gets full daycare access, and dogs are sorted into balanced "packs" based on size, age, and temperament (not just thrown together in one chaotic room). Tony explains the "interactive daycare" concept, why apartment owners with dogs desperately need this service, and how Houndstown's pack management approach creates a safer, more natural environment for dogs to socialize and play.
You'll also learn about the themed suites, spa services (including the blueberry facial for tear stains), and why the facility is designed to let dogs be their most authentic selves. Plus, Tony shares the construction timeline, hiring plans, and how to sign up for opening updates and a free day of daycare.
Whether you're a dog owner looking for better boarding options, someone curious about this unique franchise concept, or just love hearing about new local businesses, this conversation covers everything you need to know about Houndstown's arrival in Burnsville.
