Canine Corral is literally a second home for my pup Shea. She is 4 years old now but has been attending since 4 months. The staff is like family to her and I am so impressed how they always call me if anything is off with her. She attends 4-5 days a week and loves playtime with all of her friends. She especially loves the fun agility courses that they offer! Canine Corral has also been fantastic for overnight stays when we go out of town. Shea is always excited when I drop her off which puts a smile on my face. I know she is in great hands and I wouldn’t trust anyone else with watching my only daughter. Love the staff all they have to offer! Highly recommend!!!

First and foremost, we are always 100% assured our dog is safe every time he is in Canine Corral’s care.  Secondly, he is always happy when he sees us approaching the driveway to Canine Corral, and when we pick him up, he’s always in happy mood.  So we know he loves his time at Canine Corral, their care takers, and the other dogs they host.  We’ve been sending our dog to Canine Corral since 2022, and during that time he has established numerous friendships with the other dogs and the care takers there.  Our complete confidence in Canine Corral caring for our dog has led to us entrusting them with him for long term periods from 1 – 3 weeks when we go out-of-town.  During that time they are constantly reaching out to us to advise how he is doing, sending pictures and videos of him, if any issues arise with him, and special things that occur, like when he makes new doggie and care handler friends.  Lastly, a few more highly positive observations about Canine Coral.  They host special events for the dogs, e.g., during Halloween, Thanksgiving and the other traditional holidays.  They’ll have special treats, meals, events, setups in the area they play in, it’s just such a wonderful, positive experience for the dogs.  Another positive is they walk the dogs, and I’ve noticed a significant and positive difference with my dog being very attentive to me when I walk him, making sure he’s either by my side or looking for permission to walk ahead of me before doing so.  This is a very thankful trait Canine Corral instilled in our dog, and I will always be grateful to them for it.  All that said, while there’s still more positives to relay on Canine Corral, I’ll close this feedback on them by noting since we started bringing our dog to them immediately after he qualified by reaching a certain age and had all his shots, we have not brought him to anyone else to care for him.  There is no need to.  Canine Coral is the only daily and extended boarding dog care we’ll bring him to.

While we’d been using Canine Corral for some time and were delighted with the care they gave our pup Lassi, we had no way of knowing just how crucial the staff would become to our family until the sudden passing of my husband seven years ago. Over the subsequent days, my sister would rush over there with Lassi, often with no notice, so we could attend to our endless list of tasks/meetings. Each time Lassi was picked up, she was happy, rested, and well-exercised. We didn’t have to worry whether she was ok at a time when we decidedly were not. All these years later we still bring Lassi to Canine Corral, knowing that she’s in one of her happy places. From their warm staff to their impeccable attention to detail and excellent communication, I know we’ll be using Canine Corral for our dog care services for many years to come.

Walton started attending daycare after he retired from being a guide dog . Canine corral went above and beyond to make him happy and comfortable. In the few years he attended, Walton had countless dog and people friends . As Walton aged he developed a degenerative muscle disorder. Canine Corral took extra care to make sure Walton was comfortable at all times. Since Walton use to be a Serive dog he had challenges with separation anxiety , but Canine Corral helped figure out what specific was making him nervous and trouble shooted it so Walton could be most comfortable! Walton’s health took a fast turn for the worse and he had to stop going to daycare, but we made sure he got last snuggled in to his favorite aunties ! We love Canine Corral!

Our dog, Spencer was a shelter dog who had a rough start at life. He is 7 years old and has been with us now for 6 years and at the time we brought him home, we were looking for a place to help socialize him. Thank goodness we found Canine Corral. He can be a handful with an attitude, but he always loves coming here to play with other dogs and loves the humans that watch him. We have seen him come a long way since he came home with us and a lot of that success is due to the care and overnights he has had at Canine Corral over the years. He has his favorite people there and when you say their names, he gets so excited and is ready to go. We are so glad we found Canine Corral and for the care they show for Spencer.
Thank you,

Our Pup absolutely loves Canine Corral. As soon as we pull into the parking lot she starts barking and yipping wanting to get out of the car. She drags me across the parking lot to the door where she promptly leaves me without looking back. Her joy each time we arrive warms my heart and lets me know she is in good hands. She loves all the humans at Canine Corral. The staff is very attentive and responds quickly to inquiries. Their activities are wonderful and inventive. In over 4 years we’ve never had an issue. We’ve had our pup in several day cares but she didn’t get excited about going to those near as much as Canine Corral. We shall never leave Canine Corral.

We’ve been bringing our dog Abby, a black lab/Australian shepherd mix, to Canine Corral since she was just a puppy—she’s 14 years old now! Over all these years, we’ve never once hesitated to trust the team with her care. Abby started out as a very high-energy dog, and even now, as she’s mellowed with age, she can still be a little reactive or lunge at other dogs. Despite that, the staff has always handled her with patience, confidence, and genuine kindness.

Abby has stayed for many multi-day boarding visits, and we’ve always felt completely comfortable knowing she’s in such capable hands. In fact, whenever we arrive, she runs straight to the door—there’s no better sign that she’s happy to be there. We’ve never had a single issue, only positive experiences. We truly wouldn’t trust Abby with anyone else. Canine Corral is the best!

It is with great pleasure that we recommend Canine Carol as a positive and wonderful animal caregiving facility. One of our new rescues, Betty, was taken back to the pound twice and we got her as her third owner. She was caged for 11 months before we got her and this is nothing against the humane society either. Betty was abused, nervous and would lash out at people or animals she didn’t know.
As part of her training, we decided to try something new which was to socialize her at Canine Carol. We didn’t need to put her there, but we figured she would be surrounded by many dogs and humans and hopefully her behavior would change; it did. We saw a massive improvement just by putting her in this situation.
We followed up by getting individual training by Happy Trails who has provided Betty and her owners the addition training to become a more confident and less reactive dog and now at night she sleeps on our heads and snores loudly.

My very high energy bulldog puppy has participated in both day training and group classes with Dawna and her staff. She also attends daycare four to five times weekly and has done a multiple night boarding stay while we were out of town. We could not be happier with the care and training she has received. She was behind with her socialization skills when we brought her home but at Canine Corral she is placed in appropriate play groups and able to continue to improve her social skills under the close watch of employees. In between play time she is very comfortable being crated for needed down time. The webcams allow me to enjoy watching her interact with the other dogs and staff. I can also conveniently add-on a bath or nail trim when needed. My puppy loves going to daycare and happily greets staff at the door and heads right in. She is definitely still a work in progress at just 10 months old, but she is much better behaved at home and listens and responds to commands that she once ignored.
She also interacts much more appropriately with her senior Yorkie brother and her cat brothers. Dawna and her staff has laid the foundation for her to be the well behaved bulldog we know she can be and we are extremely grateful!

We’ve been with Canine Corral for over 3 years now. We adopted a pup over the pandemic and had issues finding a suitable place for daycare and the occasional boarding. Other places that we tried weren’t successful in addressing our pup’s anxiety and social issues.

I’m so glad that we discovered Canine Corral. The staff there are well-trained and they have good processes to keep things running smoothly. Our pup gets excited as we drive into the parking lot and she greets the staff with fast tail wags and licking! Those are positive behaviors that are so apparent and cannot be denied.

We also utilized Happy Tails To You Dog Training with custom training. Dawna knows her stuff and the lessons that we had helped us with challenges that we were having at home.

I highly recommend Canine Corral/Happy Tails To You Dog Training for anyone who needs doggie daycare or boarding.

We have used Canine Corral for over 12 years and are extremely happy with their day care,  boarding and training of our dogs. Even though we went through puppy training with Becka we didn’t continue with training as Becka grew to a healthy 80 lbs. She developed an unhealthy obsession with work and delivery trucks. Her behavior was bad enough we could not take her for walks or a ride in the truck. Donna worked with us and Becka for over 6 months to get her behavior to the point where walks and rides are enjoyable. Donna was our last resort. If we had not been successful with the training, we would have had to give up Becka. Becka enjoyed her time at Canine Corral. She adored Dawna and Megan. They treated Becka like their own.

After Becka’s passing, Dawna offered to help us find another dog when we were ready. After about a year we were ready and Dawna and her colleagues talked with us about what type of dog we were looking for. They arranged for us to meet them at a local rescue to check out a young dog they thought we might be interested in. Maggie was a great find and we can’t thank Dawna and her colleagues enough. Maggie was a little shy when she began her day care visits, but she now really enjoys the visits and activities.

> Dawna, Megan and the rest of the staff are dedicated to making our dogs life the best it can be.  We recommend Canine Corral very highly to anyone who wants people who care about dogs to take care of their dogs.

I’ve been bringing my Milo to Canine Corral since he was a puppy. He’s about to turn three years old and he still loves coming to see his friends and the team there. 
 
We come on a regular schedule of 2–3 days a week for the past few years. When we pull into the parking lot, Milo immediately knows where we are. Before I can even stop the car, he’s ready to jump out and see his friends at CC. A reaction like his speaks volumes, it tells me my boy is greatly loved and well taken care of when he is there.
Canine Corral not only offers daytime care, but they also provide overnight boarding, various types of training, grooming/bathing services, along with meals and snacks for purchase. I have utilized most of their services, the meal one was especially helpful on a day I forgot his lunch at home! My favorite addition this year though was that they introduced enrichment into their program. I love this because enrichment activities support a pup’s physical and mental health. Each month features a new theme—the circus and farm themes they did were especially fun and clever!
Many of the team members have been with Canine Corral for a long time, which is very important to us as Milo has built strong bonds with them, myself included and they have genuinely become like family to us.

Everyone is friendly and knowledgeable. My baby stays here often for daycare/overnights and she’s always well taken care of. Super easy to book and I love that they offer baths and nail trims before coming home.
