Limited information
How clearly this listing publishes the details owners need. See our methodology.
Based on what the business publishes about itself
Care, the founder of Fenways Runway, started the business in 2014 after years working in veterinary clinics where she witnessed dogs experiencing stress and injury in traditional care settings. A Navy wife and mother, she named the operation after her own dog, Fenway Lynn, and runs it out of her family's quarter-acre fenced property a few minutes from downtown San Diego.
According to their website, the business operates as what they call a "private dog club" rather than a commercial facility. Boarding dogs stay in the home with access to couches, beds, and outdoor grass space. Daycare is kept small, dogs must complete a private daycare session before joining any group play, and capacity is intentionally limited. Their training model is entirely private and conducted in the client's own home, starting with a two-hour intensive that includes all household members, followed by customized one-on-one session and ongoing text support.
The site describes a particular focus on reactive, shy, nervous, or anxious dogs, stating that "any dog can become reactive, any reactive dog can be restored." They also offer grooming in a walk-in shower setup with no cage drying, marketed as calmer for sensitive dogs. Now in business for eleven years, Fenways Runway held an anniversary event in August with proceeds going to a local dog rescue organization.
Private daycare, group daycare, boarding, and in-home training are all offered through Fenway's Runway. The private daycare program addresses separation anxiety, fear, reactivity, and socialization for dogs that need individual attention before joining group settings. Board and train is available, with a $10 nightly surcharge for weekend stays and dogs under two not enrolled in training.
