Testimonials

I can’t say enough about Alan and Karen. They are wonderful, friendly, honest, and great trainers. Karen is so friendly, had a wealth of information, and also responded quickly to our call. I was so impressed to see my shy dog warm up to Alan in less than 5 mins and then also in that time already teaching her several commands. Our first visit Alan had our dog calm and ignoring a cat just feet away! I would highly recommend Alan’s Canine

First time using a kennel for our new dog Kia. We are so happy with our experience with Alan’s canine. They quickly responded when we wanted to check on her and sent us a thanksgiving picture. They are reasonably priced and seem passionate about the dogs. Alan’s canine will be our go-to kennel whenever heading out of state.
