Our 9,000-square-foot facility offers climate-controlled indoor/outdoor runs with raised rubber flooring and premium bedding. Dogs enjoy individual pens ranging from 40-56 square feet, while cats stay in quiet, separate accommodations with shelves and private spaces. All guests receive three daily exercise sessions and 24/7 climate control.
Dog Training
The two-week board-and-train program focuses on command mastery through expert-led instruction. Includes two private lessons for training reinforcement. We emphasize motivation-based techniques to create happy, well-adjusted dogs. Our combo course pairs private lessons with group classes for comprehensive socialization and skill development.

Our dedicated grooming rooms offer stress-free environments for dogs and cats, with nail trimming and ear cleaning included in all sessions.

Individual playtime options available for non-social pets. All participants undergo temperament testing and must maintain current vaccinations including Bordetella within six months.
Animal Hospital
Connected Hancock Animal Hospital provides emergency medical services during guest stays.

Jake's first day in doggy day care at Brian's Kennel was good. It's going to take a few visits but I think it's the place to keep him while I am at work. The place clean and the staff was very nice. Will se how the next week or two weeks go.

Toby is always excited to spend a couple days making new friends at Brian's. You should see his little tail go back and forth. These people love dogs!

I sent both my dogs here while we were away on vacation. One of my dogs is overly nervous, always anxious. They handled them both perfectly. Loved everything about my experience and will be recommending them to everyone and using them in future. Thanks!

We left our boopys here for 6 days, left bones, and asked that they give her a bath while she's there. When we picked her up she had a horrible cold, ate like she hasn't ate since we dropped her off, and smelt worse than she did when we dropped her off. We also noticed patches on her skin were lighter than others (we have no idea what this means). I don't believe they even bathed her and charged me for it let alone traumatized our dog. Pay the extra few bucks, there's a reason this place is this cheap. Will absolutely never be back

We left our yorkie there for a week and when we went to pick him up, it was pretty seamless. By the time he came back home with us, we noticed that he was acting extremely weird and found him bleeding under his neck and near his legs. We tried to call and see what happened but they've been avoiding us. Now we are having to take him to the vet and get him checked out. DO NOT TRUST THEM

I love Brian's Kennels. Brian and team have a clear love and full knowledge of dogs. They know what they are looking at when interacting with the dogs' parents, too. My Iggy trusts them. I do too. I really do appreciate them.
