I am so happy to have found Canine Cabana! My high energy, 1-year-old Golden needed socialization and training. We did the 3 week training program and it has helped him tremendously. Everyone who has worked with him has been so great with him. We now lodge him there as needed, and he is always excited as soon as we get there which tells me he loves it. They all recognize him and greet him when I drop him off like he's part of the crew. I also had him groomed there and they did a great job with his bath and haircut as well. I highly recommend them for all of their services!

We've brought our Golden retriever/Lab to the Cabana since he was 6 months old. He's in tact & the Cabana was the only place that we inquired with that would take him. Trooper is going to be 3yrs old in a couple months & I can't express enough the gratitude I feel towards the staff for the excellent care they've provided him. Thanks so much to the staff at Canine Cabana & the wonderful care you've provided to my boy!

Canine Cabana has a professional team that loves dogs. They took care of my 3 year old lab for a weekend. He ate his food which indicates he wasn't stressed and had fun playing with the other dogs. The staff always screen new dogs to make sure they will get along with other dogs. Overall a great experience with a trustworthy team.

Winston has been to Canine Cabana for training and for boarding since we got him as a puppy. He loves it there. The staff are wonderful and truly love each one of their charges. Winston has been socialized well and is happy when he stays. Thank you Canine Cabana for your spectacular service!

It was our first day but I was so happy! I feel like everyone I spoke to legitimately cared and Vicky was so nice and knowledgeable! Obviously their goal is to get more dogs signed up, but she TRULY and genuinely sounded like she cared about the socialization issues my other dog is having. It was such a relief and I'm so excited to see if both dogs can thrive at Canine Cabana! It's also so tough to find places that will take intact males (we're taking care of that soon) so even better that Dodger had a great day and made new friends! Fingers crossed for Lady to join her brother there soon!

When you have fur babies and move to a new home, you have to find services for everything including groomers. I reached out to my Nextdoor group for recommendations and Someone shared Canine Cabana. Bruiser is a Yorkie, 16 years old, hard of seeing and hearing. He was treated so very well and they have made a customer for life. Bruiser and I recommend Canine Cabana without hesitation.
