Testimonials
We have known Zoe and Katherine for almost a decade now and have entrusted them with the love and care of two much loved golden retrievers over the years.What always comes first to mind about them both, is their absolute love and devotion to our animal "kids"...and in our house we are almost sure that for "most loved" they would be first on our dog's list - before us - because of the many hours spent outside just having fun every day with friends, treats and and love - what more could a dog ask for?
From sleepovers to personalized doggie Christmas presents the love shines through and on top of all that we have had the best trained dogs of anyone we know - what more could owners ask for?We have recommended Zoe and Katherine to our closest friends with the complete confidence that they will be as pleased as we are with all the services that are given.
As always Zoe and Katherine - thank you for everything.

I've been placing my nine-year old Alaskan Malamute Cloey in the care of Canine Country Kennels frequently over the past 6 months as I've had to travel extensively for work. Prior to being referred to them by my vet, Cloey had only been kenneled once in the first eight years of her life at another facility. This was not a positive experience for Cloey and as such I've made every effort to avoid kenneling her since. However, after being dispatched to British Columbia for a three-week assignment this past summer I heeded the advice of my vet and contacted Canine Country Kennels. I found the staff to be very knowledgeable and caring and I felt very comfortable leaving her in their capable hands. Cloey is accustomed to being with me most of the time and does not always respond well when I have to leave her in someone else's care for extended periods; however, both her and I have had positive experiences with the kennel over the past few months. She actually gets excited and starts doing laps around the car when I pull into the driveway to drop her off and this reaction is enough to reassure me that she is happy with our little arrangement whenever I have to leave town. I've found the staff to be very passionate, competent, and accommodating to her needs and they've given me some excellent advice relevant to her care as well. I would recommend this facility to anyone and have done so on numerous occasions.

Katherine and Zoe have been walking and boarding our dogs for the past ten years. We can't say enough about how they have gone above and beyond the call of duty over the years, including stepping up during two separate medical emergencies for our now-deceased dog (both of which involved nocturnal visits to the Emergency Vet Clinic). When our dog goes to Canine Country Kennels, we know that she is in excellent, loving and responsible hands, and will have the most fabulous doggie vacation - our only guilt is in having to bring her back home and away from the fun and friends!

You obviously have given Barley a magic potion. He is the softest, snuggliest, happiest dog since going to your kennels and actually is getting quite fit. You have a magic touch with him. Thank you for being so wonderful to him.
Warmest regards

I was at my wit's end with my rescue dog Rufus. One day I met Katherine in the off leash dog park walking five dogs and was astounded when a cyclist went by and she called each dog to come to her and they happily did. I was more astounded when a jogger ran by and she asked her group to do a "down" and each dog did. I had never seen such well behaved dogs at the dog park before. They remained in that down until the jogger was past. I dont think I had ever seen such a happy group of dogs as hers in all my life. Their tails never stopped wagging. My dog Rufus was lunging and barking on his leash to chase the jogger. I immediately enlisted the training and walking services of Katherine's. Within a few short weeks my dog was the model canine citizen. I was almost ready to give my dog up, Katherine honestly saved his life. When Rufus is in her care I never worry.

I can't believe the change in Charlie since using your services. He is so happy to come when called now instead of running away and is so relaxed at home after his day with you. He used to tear around and never settle. We can't thank you enough for being so good to Charlie.

We first met Zoe when we started taking Cassie, who is now eleven years old, to the local off leash dog park. One evening, many of the dogs ran off towards a person approaching in the near-dark, barking with joy. That was my introduction to Zoe, who either walked or had boarded the whole "pack". For me, that was the best possible recommendation. Zoe walked Cassie from that time on, until she moved out of the city to start her new venture, Canine Country Kennels.
We had boarded Cassie a few times before we knew Zoe, but she was very upset when we left, so we hated to do so. When we first left her at Zoe's place, she didn't even notice when we walked out the door. She loves her time there there and comes home happy, healthy, and tired from all the activities that go on. She especially loves the hikes in the woods. Through the years, I have had many long conversations with Zoe, and I have learned how kind and caring she is, and how dedicated she is to the animals in her care.
We highly recommend Canine Country Kennels!
