About Kind To Canines
Dogs bring joy and love into our lives, but sometimes we need support to help our furry family members reach their full potential. Dan Atkinson is an experienced former veterinarian with years of experience helping dogs and their guardians establish communication, obedience, and trust. Boarding with us provides much more than a place for your pup to stay -- we actively train our residents and teach them to interact with one another in healthy ways. With expert behavior modification, in-home training, and grooming services, we're well-equipped to support your canine in any capacity. There's nothing we love more than building connections with each dog and seeing them transform.

We’ve had such a great experience with the Kind to Canines team. Dan has been a great resource for us with our goldendoodle, Harvey. Harvey loves his time there - doesn’t even look back when we drop him off. We know he’s very cared for and loved during his stay.
Tye and her team are amazing groomers. Dan runs a top-notch training and boarding facility.
Dan & everyone at Kind to Canines are a first rate operation. They have helped my puppy and my sanity Kudos!
Dan & staff were so helpful to us in a tough situation. I would 100% recommend them & will use them for any dog we have!
