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.

My husband and I could not be more grateful to Dan and his team at Kind to Canines. When expecting our first child, we wanted a trainer that could help us with the transition for our 1.5 year old pup Penelope. She had puppy training and is a great dog, but we needed specific skills and a touch up on basic commands. Kind to Canines allowed her to stay there the week we were in the hospital delivering my son, which worked out perfectly! She came home that Friday and we were very impressed by how well she did. Ever since, she’s been amazing with our little one - so sweet, gentle, and listens so much better! I would highly recommend Kind to Canines to anyone looking for training! They did wonders for our Penelope, and we loved their homey feel and kindness. A great experience all around!
The trainers show a lot of love and the patience to dogs. My dog loves to go there for day school.
Dan is the best. Staff as well. Very good people.
I submitted few requests and no one responded to me, very disappointed.
