Welcome to Hope Lock Kennels

Dog Boarding in Bethlehem, PA

Hope Lock Kennels offers trusted, professional Dog Boarding in Bethlehem, PA, set on a scenic 35-acre horse farm in Bethlehem Township, Pennsylvania. Easy to access yet surrounded by peaceful pastures and open fields, our kennel provides a calm, country environment where dogs feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for. Once a working farm, Hope Lock Kennels is now home to award-winning Appaloosa horses and top-ranked, field-trained Labrador Retrievers, reflecting our long-standing commitment to quality animal care. In addition to secure, comfortable boarding for all breeds, we offer obedience classes, individualized training programs, and preparation for Canine Good Citizenship and Therapy Dog certification—making Hope Lock Kennels a complete destination for boarding, training, and lifelong canine wellness.

Obedience classes are held Sundays, Mondays and Tuesdays. During the warm weather months, classes are held outdoors in a fenced in grass yard that is well lit and easy on the paws. During the colder months and when it rains, classes are held in a 200 year old barn. Classes are designed with the pet owner in mind who is looking to develop a well-mannered pet to enjoy as part of the family.

Preparing for Canine Good Citizenship and Therapy Dog certification is incorporated into the class curriculums and testing for both is offered at scheduled times throughout the year.

Hope Lock Kennels is pleased to offer boarding services for all breeds as well as individualized training for specific problems. or for pet owners whose schedules do not allow attending classes.
