Boarding

Our new website is in the final stages of getting done! For now, we have kept general information here so there is no down time of nothing while we are waiting for the new site. This site is old and may not look great on mobile devices, but the information you need is still here. Thanks for your patience.

Our Kennel

Our boarding guests are very special to us. We take the time to ensure that every dog feels comfortable, receives plenty of exercise and enrichment, and enjoys lots of individual attention throughout their stay.

We pride ourselves on the exceptional level of care we provide. Each day includes plenty of personal, hands-on attention, affection and one-on-one time, along with play, exercise, enrichment activities, Kongs and snacks.

RATES

$55 per night per dog

$90 per night for two dogs

INCLUDED

We don’t charge extra for providing basic needs such as exercise, enrichment  and social time. So the following activities are part of the everyday boarding experience for all dogs staying here.

Off Leash Hikes in our three acre fully fenced forest. Hiking groups are carefully grouped by age, activity level and play style. Dogs who don’t appreciate the company of other dogs will hike individually.

Play Time Dog social dogs are carefully matched with a few compatible dogs to play, wrestle and run around in a fenced in play area together. Dogs who prefer their own company have individual play and exploration with humans only. We do not have large groups of dogs together all day in enclosed spaces.

Swimming For dogs who love swimming we have a fully fenced 21′ x 51′  Canine Splash Pool with attached 40′ dock for seasonal fun. There is stair access for dogs to easily get in and out of the pool as well as a dock for dogs who prefer to jump right in just like those amazing Dock Diving dogs. For dogs who are still on the fence about swimming, we have a creek where they can enjoy walking in cool creek water while keeping their paws on the ground.

Enrichment Our rotation of activities throughout the day provide opportunities and outlets for dogs to do “dog things” safely and appropriately. Off leash movement, running and exploring, lots of trees to keep up with peemail, social time with other appropriate dogs for social dogs and individual time of activities for dogs who prefer their own company, social time with humans, scent trails, exploration and investigation, water time, hanging out and just relaxing in nature, rest time, etc. Even feeding is done differently here, ask us how. Sure, we’ll stuff a Kong or give your dog a food puzzle if requested, but there is so much more to enrichment than stuffing a Kong.

Reinforcement of Known Cues Cues such as Sit, Wait, Come are reinforced frequently throughout the day as the dogs participate in their various activities. For dogs still learning these cues there are many opportinuties for practice and generalization.

Elevated Kuranda Beds are in every suite. We have plenty of comfy bedding for dogs who like their comfort and owners can also send favourite beds or blankets from home as well.

Climate Control We assumed this was obvious, but a couple of people have specifically asked if we had heat so we decided to put this on our website.  We have air conditioning in the summer and plenty of heat in the winter and are fully climate controlled all year round for the comfort of both the dogs who stay here and the humans who work here.
