We designed our kennels with our dogs in mind, so we know you'll be happy with your buddies slumber rooms. Although all sleepovers will spend minimum time in their slumber room, rest assured this is the best sleepover the foothills have to offer. Overnight guests mingle and socialize with day care dogs all day long. At the end of the day, they retreat to their slumber room where a comfortable raised doggie cot awaits them. We pipe in soothing classical music to help them rest quietly. We feed our boarding buddies twice per day (9:00-10:00a.m. & 5:00-6:00p.m.) Our dog kenneling area has 41 indoor 4'x5' dog kennels and 3 10'x10' family suites. All our dog kennels are Pfeifert soft coated kennels and have no exposed chain links - anywhere. We require full vaccinations for both dogs and cats, including bordatella every (6) six months for canines. All canine visitors over 6 months old must be neutered/spayed to stay with us. Space provided, we do make some exceptions but in tact pets will have to be isolated.
Cattery
Our cattery is furnished with cat condos and can board up to 9 cats comfortably. The cattery has 2 large windows to bring in natural sunshine for cat naps, bird watching, day dreaming and all ows for dog watching. A revolving bright fish light keeps cats mysteriously entertained and a tall cat-scratcher allows for naps outside of the condos and some mandatory nail scratching. More importantly, we have installed a highly effective air transfer system to help our felines breathe fresh clean air all day long.
Daycare
Our indoor play area is well over 3,000 square ft. Health and safety of your pets being our priority, our building is climate controlled with in-floor heating systems. Additionally, we have installed an air transfer system that creates continuous air exchanges inside the building. Our indoor play areas can be divided into 3 separate playgrounds: small &/or geriatric dogs, medium dogs and large dogs. Our total outdoor square footage of 7500 square ft, has been divided into 3 large play areas of natural mountain environment. We separate dogs based on temperament and compatibility. And yes, we do have time out kennels - one in each play area. Our complex is completely fenced and weather providing; your best friends will spend most of their time outdoors. In a full day of day care, in or out of doors, your buddy will get tons of love; including, but not limited to hugs, ear scratching, belly rubs, petting, 2 legged walking, dancing, running, playing, swimming, jumping, people laps to sit on and any other kind of unconditional love they so deserve. They will be supervised at all times and will literally have 'run of the grounds' - doggie playgrounds that is. You, in turn, will have peace at home with a tired, worn-out and happy pooch - a tired pooch is a happy pooch and a happy pooch makes happy humans!
Retail
At your leisure, please take a few minutes to browse through our retail sales area. We carry a variety of basic pet supplies such as healthy snacks, training collars, leashes, toys, beds, and a few unique speciality items.

Agility
Our outdoor Agility Course is opened early spring to early winter - weather permitting. The course is 140' by 50', sand & sawdust base, completely fenced with 6' chain link and plenty of parking available. Our equipment is built to both AKC and USDAA standards. We have well-qualified trainers with frequent training dates and times. The skills you learn can be used universally. You will learn how to train with your buddy to compete in trials licensed by the major associations in the United States - AKC, UKC, NADAC and USDAA. Please call for details and schedules.
Grooming
Our groomer is the owner/operator of Canines Canyon, Natty Bateman. She groomed for one of the large pet suppliers for 5 years and prior to opening this facility, refreshed her grooming and dog-care skills at a nearby daycare facility. "It's about the dog!" for Natty and anyone who has had their dog groomed by her knows how important and true that statement is. Whether it is a small furry fellow, a giant wooly, or a medium flat haired buddy, she believes in perfection. Excellent grooming has to start with a good bath, using high quality products and power drying as much as possible. We professionally groom all breeds of canines only (sorry, no cats). Your dog is not required to stay all day nor be part of the day care group, but that can be arranged if you would like them to have a couple of hours of socialization time. We have a play room available for dogs waiting for their appointment or waiting to be picked up. We kennel them only to complete their drying or to keep them safe if they are shy. The grooming salon features state of the art equipment and a large shower/tub for our very large furry friends. Our drying room is separate to keep the noise and humidity down to a minimum. Our prices are competitive and our grooming salon is cleaned and thoroughly disinfected daily. Grooming Services Include:
Bath
Brush
Trimming
Hand Scissoring
Hand Drying
Fluff Drying (Breed Specific)
Nails Trimmed
Ears Plucked and Cleaned

Groom dogs are the exception, but they will not be allowed in the play areas.
We do not accept PIT BULLS or pure bred CHOWS, but will refer you to boarders that will daycare and board.

We're rounding our three year anniversary and still believe we have the best pet center the foothills have to offer. Canines' Canyon is a full service pet center specializing in dogs, but we are one of few that have a cattery for your finicky feline buddies.
Health and safety of all pets are our priorities. We built a terrific, large, 4500 square foot indoor facility and protected as much natural environment as we could to create three large outdoor play yards. We proudly share our facility with you at any time welcoming tours whenever you are ready.
