Canine Domain

Canine Domain offers various training programs including Board & Train, Day Training, and Group Classes, alongside Day Camp and Socialization services.

**Board & Train** programs involve dogs staying at the facility for intensive training. “Good Dog Gone Bad” is a four-day program focusing on one-on-one training and socialization, followed by a follow-up day and two private lessons for owners. “Tinkle Monster” is a seven-day program specifically for puppies, addressing house training, crate training, routine, and basic behavior, with the puppy living with a trainer 24/7, and includes two private lessons and a follow-up day.

**Day Training** programs involve dogs coming to the facility for training during the day. “So Help Me Dog” is a two-day program focusing on leash and social manners, one-on-one training, and socialization, with a private lesson at the end of each day. “In the Dog House” is a four-day program over two weeks, including one-on-one training, socialization, and two private lessons for owners.

**Group Classes** are available exclusively for graduates of their training programs. “Obedience Class” (currently unavailable) is a six-week course building on existing skills, focusing on recall, listening, and relationship building. “Leashin’ La Vida Loca” is a Saturday morning class designed for practicing leash skills in close proximity to other dogs.

**Day Camp & Socialization** provides a structured environment for dogs to achieve mental and physical wellness through social activities. Each session is tailored to the dog’s social needs, using balanced dogs as helpers to teach proper engagement. New dogs are required to undergo an evaluation day of camp.

Policies

For boarding, check-out time is 10 AM, with a $30 late checkout fee applied after this time. Picking up or dropping off outside specified hours incurs a $30 early/late fee and may involve a wait of up to an hour. An overstay fee of $10 per day is applied if pets are not picked up as scheduled.

Dog food must be brought in an airtight plastic container; original food bags or large bags are not permitted due to limited storage and pest concerns. Pre-cooked meals and pre-measured Ziploc bags are allowed if stored within a plastic container. Beds and blankets are welcome but will be removed if the dog chews on them. Toys are allowed in kennels but may be removed for safety if destroyed or misplaced. Rawhide, cooked bones, and weight-bearing bones are not permitted.

Proof of DHPP, Rabies, and Bordetella vaccinations, along with a clean intestinal parasite (fecal) test from a veterinarian, are required for all dogs. Puppies under four months of age must provide age-appropriate vaccines and a clean fecal exam. All dogs are required to be on flea/tick prevention treatment from May to September. While spaying/neutering is not required, females in heat are not allowed in the facility and require an emergency contact for pickup.

Dogs that may cause harm will be conditioned to a Baskerville Basket muzzle for safe interactions. If an owner is uncomfortable with their dog being muzzled, they must arrange for their dog to be picked up, as dogs will not be secluded to a kennel 24/7. Day Camp and Transportation packages are non-refundable and non-transferable, but they do not expire and can be split between dogs from the same home.
