Klever K9 Academy is a dog boarding facility in Sarjapur, Bangalore that aims to be your dog’s home away from home. Set up by experienced IGP dog trainer Praveen SN, Klever K9 opened its doors in early 2022. As a trainer, Praveen found travel to and fro to the clients’ houses quite cumbersome and conceptualised Klever K9 Academy to be a one-stop destination where he could provide multiple services such as dog boarding, training, grooming, swimming sessions, and more for pet parents.
With his years of experience in handling dogs of varied breeds and temperaments, Praveen realised that each dog is unique and has their own, specific day-to-day needs and thus decided to go with a traditional kennel system. “We have boarding kennels in decent numbers as we want to give individual care to each pet that comes here. Whether it's a dog with behavioural challenges or a timid, anxious dog. The past few months that we’ve had dogs at boarding or training here, they start eating on the first day and cases of separation anxiety or being vocal are barely seen as the dogs adjust quickly to the facility as we make sure to meet all their daily needs and give them care with a personal touch.”, he says.
Before we look at the various services provided at Klever K9, let’s get to know the man behind Klever K9, founder and owner Praveen a little better. Praveen has had extensive experience training dogs since his college days and took a special interest in breed conformation shows where he participated and found great success. Wanting to learn more about dogs and their behaviour, Praveen trained and got certified by Mr Sachin Raawte in 2016. He is trained in obedience, behaviour modification for fearful or aggressive dogs, protection, and scent detection work. He has participated in several courses with international IGP Dog trainer Arnold Kivago. Along with his extensive training experience, Praveen has also taken grooming courses and worked in Manas Resort and Petting Zoo where he interacted with and groomed various dog breeds.
Praveen is the primary caregiver and manages the boarding, training, and grooming services offered by Klever while his wife, the lovely Deepa runs a small café on the premises. In this article, we will touch upon the dog boarding, grooming, and swimming facility that they offer at the Klever k9 Academy.

Review
Klever K9 Academy is a spacious, ambient, and beautiful outdoor space. You can avail their services for boarding your dog when you are away, to book some much-deserved pool time for your dog, or if you want to simply give your dog some off-leash time and allow them to play and run free as you sit back and enjoy Deepa’s famous coffee. The boarding kennels are on the first floor which is very well ventilated. There are 10 kennels of 4ft x 6ft with shared compound walls that are 7 ft tall. The dogs cannot see each other from their kennel and no two dogs share the same kennel unless specifically requested by the parent. There is a safety gate on the first floor, so even if the dog tries to run out of the kennel, they will not be able to escape. There are tiles and a drainer installed in each kennel, so even if the dog toilets inside, it does not stagnate. Along with the kennels, there are also two rooms on the ground floor where dogs who have not had any prior boarding experience and require some extra care can stay.
Along with Praveen, two caretakers help manage the facility. The whole facility is cleaned multiple times a day to maintain cleanliness and hygiene. The caretakers check up on the kennels every two hours to ensure that the dogs are doing well, the kennels are clean, and clean water is accessible to the dog. “The caretaker is not academically qualified but he is very kind, gentle, and sensitive towards the dogs and it's that connection he has with them that makes dogs get along with him easily. He also picks up on how I behave with the dogs and manages all types of dogs well.” Praveen says when asked about the caretaker. There is always someone at the facility to monitor the dogs, yes, even at night!
At least twice a day, each dog is let out on the lawn area to run around, play, or simply finish their business. The activities that are done during this time depend on the dog’s preference - some like to just run freely in the grass, some like to play fetch while some just like to stay close to the human and get petted. If two dogs are well socialized and enjoy playing with dogs, they are allowed to play together. These outdoor activities give the dogs physical, emotional, and mental enrichment which in turn helps them settle down and rest in their kennels. You can also opt for swimming time for your water-loving dog while they are boarded (extra charges). Each dog is given a general physical examination, checked for ticks and groomed daily after their play sessions. Video updates are sent if specifically requested.
With a well-planned facility, a versatile dog boarding strategy, and an experienced trainer and behaviourist on board, Klever K9 Academy is a great place to visit with your pup. Just In case of emergencies, there are two vets on speed dial who stay within a 1 km radius of the academy.
Meals
Dogs are provided two meals per day, in the morning and evening. Pet parents have the option of choosing between boiled chicken & rice, boiled veggies & rice, and curd rice. Meals can be customized keeping in mind your dog’s needs, allergies, food timings, food sensitivities and intolerances. Furthermore, parents can opt to send in meals, supplements, and medications, if any to be fed to their dogs.

Swimming Pool
“It isn't a pool session but pool therapy because each dog gets that individual attention they need in the pool. Two unfamiliar dogs are not allowed to swim together. This is done to prevent fights and stress and to ensure a good swimming experience for the dog.”, says Praveen. You can also book an individual swimming session at the facility separately where just you and your dog can have fun at the pool with professional guidance given whenever required! The dog is monitored at all times and is given breaks every few minutes. You can also opt for body wash and blow dry after swimming. Read further to know the timing slots.

Expert Opinion
"With its lush green lawn and gorgeous swimming pool, Klever K9 Academy elevates the boarding experience from being confined to a kennel set-up to almost a vacation-like experience for our dogs. Given his extensive experience in canine training and behaviour, the founder Praveen takes special care to understand the personalities and requirements of every dog that comes into the centre and caters accordingly.
The kennel set-up ensures that each dog is allowed his own space. The caretakers go the extra mile to ensure that the dogs' kennels and the facilities are kept clean and hygienic. The multiple gates further ensure safety for your dog. If you have opted for pool time, you can be confident that your dog is introduced to the swimming pool right and has a ball of a time, under Praveen’s watchful eyes.
Overall, Klever K9 Academy is well suited for boarding most dogs including dogs that are especially nervous or reactive. It is also a great place to take your dog out on weekends to give them fresh air and space to run around, something amiss in our urban lifestyle today."
