We have done puppy play time, training, daycare, and boarding with Amy. We have loved it all. Amy does a great job and our dogs love her. As soon as we turn the corner the dogs know we are close and get very excited. When being boarded they get to play outside all day instead of sitting in their kennels. Prices are reasonable and it is the only place we go!

I started bringing my 1 yr old rescue rat terrier mix here after a recommendation from a friend. After going through a level one training class, he is so much more confident and less anxious. I felt like every week, she would address the next behavior question I have with him. Throughout the class, you gain an understanding of why your dog reacts to things the way he does, and it becomes more and more clear how knowledgeable Amy is.
After his training class ended, he started going to daycare and boarding here. The love that Amy has for my dog makes me feel like it's the safest place for him while I'm away. I really like that dogs are outside playing all day instead of in kennels (and they post pics and great resources on Facebook). It's also very convenient to be able to text in reservations and venmo payments! I would definitely recommend B&B to anyone looking for training and boarding because I feel like they care about my dog as much as I do.

We have been using B&B from the get go for our puppy and they have been absolutely great. Very good lessons every week and the staff is incredible. We also use the daycare and boarding facilities and could not be more happy. I would trust them any day of the week.

My dad took our Akita/GSD mix here nearly 20 years ago and still highly recommends B&B. They helped with basic obedience and other behavior concerns, and she was by far the most well-balanced and well-behaved dog he had ever owned. Techniques and guidance taught to him then are still what he uses with each canine member of our family (some cats, too.)

I would not take my dog anywhere else for training, daycare, or boarding! The two trainers I've worked with are Amy and Julie, and they are both fantastic! In addition to being super attentive in class, I've been able to call and text Amy questions and she is quick to reply. All the trainers are extremely patient and knowledgeable. I've taken my dog to B&B for: puppy preschool, obedience 1, obedience 2, obedience 3, and agility for fun.
In each class, she has learned valuable new skills. None of the obedience classes are repetitive (in that each class offers new, unique skills), which often happens in tiered levels of obedience training. I have also been boarding and putting my dog in daycare at B&B for the last year. The dogs are not couped up in kennels all day long or solely interacting with a handler, but they are outside playing in small groups with other dogs! My dog tries to jump out of the car to get to the fields to play with her friends. Any time a dog is that excited to get boarded, the boarder must be doing something right!

I can honestly say, "I'm an overly protective dog owner!" I treat my dog like my child on every level. This is the only place I will ever send my dog, Izzy. I've checked out other kennels and doggy daycare providers and the spaces, care and cost was not acceptable to me. B an B Canine only allows a handful of dogs in each play area which is the size of a huge neighbourhood back yard. There must be 7-8 grassed play areas for the dogs to run.
The cost is very reasonable and the care is phenominal. Amy (the owner) is hands on everyday. My dog knows her by name and gets so excited when she's going to see Miss Amy for daycare at least two times per week. I can't say enough about the quality services provided for my dog. I've been taking my dog their for over 4 years and have never had concerns on any level. Hats off to B and B! Fondly, Izzy and her overly protective mom
