Lacey's Trusted Dog Boarding & Training Resort

Lacey is one of the South Sound's fastest-growing cities, stretching from the family neighborhoods around St. Martin's University and the Meridian Campus, through the Hawks Prairie shopping district, and out to the suburban subdivisions along Carpenter Road and Marvin Road. Lacey families lead active lives — between Cabela's runs, weekends at Long Lake Park, school sports schedules, and the constant drive to Joint Base Lewis-McChord just up the freeway. When the family hits the road, the dog still needs somewhere safe to stay.

That's where EdelHaus comes in. Our 15-acre resort sits about 30 to 35 minutes south of Lacey — a straight shot down I-5 to exit 88, then a few minutes west on country roads. Lacey families have been using us for years for everything from one-night stays during Seahawks weekends in Seattle, to two-week boardings during deployments and PCS moves, to quick midweek drop-offs while a Capitol Campus parent travels to a conference in Spokane. We're open seven days a week, which makes the unpredictable Lacey schedule a lot easier to manage.

What keeps Lacey families coming back is the experience their dog actually has when they're with us. This isn't a corporate kennel chain. It's a 30-year family-owned operation with award-winning training credentials and a real love for the animals in our care. Your Hawks Prairie Lab gets a heated-floor suite, daily exercise on 15 acres of open Pacific Northwest land, and the kind of one-on-one attention that's impossible at the big-box facilities closer to Lacey.

"My husband is at JBLM and we got hit with a last-minute training rotation right before our planned vacation. EdelHaus took our shepherd on 48 hours notice with zero drama. They sent a photo update and our girl came home happy and tired. They have us for life."

Lacey Dog Owner FAQs

How long is the drive from Lacey to EdelHaus?

From Hawks Prairie or central Lacey, the drive to EdelHaus is roughly 30 to 35 minutes south on I-5. Take exit 88 and head west toward Rochester. It's an easy straight shot, even in rush hour traffic out of the Lacey area.

Do you board dogs for JBLM military families from Lacey?

Yes — many Lacey-area military families from JBLM use us for short and extended boarding during deployments, training rotations, and PCS moves. We understand military schedules are unpredictable, and we work hard to accommodate last-minute needs.

Can my dog board while we visit Great Wolf Lodge from Lacey?

Definitely. Great Wolf Lodge is our most popular reason Lacey families bring their dogs to us. We're just 7 minutes from Great Wolf and even offer pick-up and drop-off, so the kids can hit the water park while your dog enjoys their own resort stay.

What's check-in like for first-time Lacey customers?

Easy. New Lacey clients can book online or call ahead. On drop-off day, plan for about 10 minutes — we'll go over your dog's routine, food, medications, and any special requests, then walk them straight to their kennel suite.
