Our founder, Rayne, noticed a trend while working in animal welfare and rescue. Many wonderful dogs end up in shelters because of behavioral issues. These issues could be eliminated with proper dog training and adequate exercise. Keeping more dogs in happy homes was Rayne’s vision when she established Cold Nose Lodge in 2008. It's what gets us to work every day.

We care deeply about animals. We aim to put you at ease while your dog is with us. We offer both full and half days of dog daycare and dog boarding suites with toddler beds or cots. Unlike a traditional dog kennel, all of our boarders spend most of the day in play groups, so they are nice and tired by bedtime.

In our new cat boarding room, cats rest in cat condos and have enrichment time every day, one on one with a staff member. We have climbers, and puzzles, and soft places to snuggle. Kittens under six months of age can sign up for Kitten Kindergarten as an add-on to cat boarding, or as a four day visits.

In every interaction we have with your dog or cat, we operate on a relationship of trust. Cold Nose Lodge has wonderful trainers on staff that practice trust-based dog training. We also offer a variety of options including dog training classes and customized private training programs.

We are conveniently located in Alburtis at 235 W. Penn Ave., less than two miles from Route 100. Our facility expanded in 2024 to just over 10,000 square-feet of indoor space complete with an eight zone heating and air conditioning system. We have an additional 7,600 square-feet of fenced outdoor play areas.
