    Canine Corral is an absolutely phenomenal place! We discovered it 2 years ago when adopting a puppy, and brought her here for the weekend training classes with Dawna. I was amazed at how knowledgeable, skilled, and helpful Dawna was during each class, and gained a lot from those experiences. I was happy to see that they also do daycare and boarding. We have taken our dog a few times to the daycare and boarding, and have always had an excellent experience. Our dog, who is normally shy, wags her tail with excitement when we bring here here and she sees the workers. The workers greet her by name, truly care about her, and have made every experience positive. When we pick her up and ask how she did, they are happy to provide updates. Overall, I highly recommend Canine Corral for their daycare/boarding services and their Happy Tails to You training! Easily 5 stars!

    As first-time dog owners, we brought our puppy to Happy Tails to You weekend trainings in 2021 and were extremely satisfied with the experience. The trainer (Dawna) was patient and super knowledgeable, helping us to feel much more confident in our ability to train our puppy. In the time since then, we have brought our dog to Canine Corral for boarding on several occasions and have always been impressed with the care and attention she has received. The staff is friendly and welcoming, and although our dog is shy, she is always happy to see them whenever we drop her off, which is a great sign! They greet her by name and it is evident that they care about her. Recently, Canine Corral implemented a new policy requiring dogs to attend daycare at least once a month in order to be eligible for boarding. We took our dog to daycare today and as always, she had a great time. She also had her nails trimmed here! Overall, we have been extremely happy with the services offered at Canine Corral and would highly recommend them to anyone in need of dog training or daycare/boarding services.

    Four big paws up for the crew at Canine Corral! The process of evaluating a dog for boarding might be a bit costly and tedious, but i seriously couldn't imagine any other process to prepare for a long term care for a dog. I was thrilled that they wanted to make sure he was a good fit and a good boy. On top of their general process, our old man was disabled. Due to a spinal degeneration he no longer has use of his back legs and utilizes a wheel chair and sling to help get around. I'm so grateful it all worked out and allowed my husband and I to enjoy an international trip with no worries. My only criticism is the lack of outside space. Our boxer just wasn't used to using concrete to dispose of his waste so i think that threw him off. But i still absolutely feel that they deserve five stars.

    Pretending that going to daycare is the worst thing that could ever happen

    Our Tessa is a rescue with a history of abuse, so she can get very nervous and stressed around unfamiliar situations. However, she has a blast at Canine Corral! We did training here before we started using them for daycare/boarding, which really helped with both her familiarity with the location and the staff getting to know her ahead of time. She does gaslight us by acting sad and miserable when we drop her off, but we know it's an act: we love watching her on the webcams sucking up to the employees, getting lavished with attention, and romping around with her dog-friends. Leaving an emotionally fragile dog in someone else's care can feel nerve-wracking, but we know she's in the best hands with Canine Corral.

    I volunteer with a rescue organization, Golden Gate Labrador Retriever Rescue, and can not say enough about the care, training, and services Dawna and staff have provided for so many of our rescues. They have provided daycare (and boarding when needed) to help get our rescues more socialized with other dogs and people. I, as a rescue representative, am confident in the care our dogs receive while at Canine Corral. I am presently representing a dog that has some issues and Canine Corral has been working with him on a once/weekly basis until he is adopted. They are respectful and understanding of his quirks and are in no rush to end his daycare. This dog is exhausted when picked up from his day at Canine Corral, and we are relieved to know that he is receiving the extra care and expertise to help him gain some confidence along the way in finding a new home.

    The staff at canine corral were awesome in helping me rescue a 10 month old black lab from the streets. Jet was found not neutered and very thin but after getting vet care , he became a normal puppy - a pup with no training and tons of energy. The only reason we could foster him was because he loved going to daycare here and responded to the training they do while he was there He stayed overnight for 2 nights and attended daycare for about 12 sessions. He is a great dog but like all pups would chew on everything and he did absolutely hate my cats I can't say enough good things about this awesome facility and staff. I love the webcam feature and often looked in on my boy. If I called - they returned my call promptly. it was obvious they cared about jet and I am very grateful to them

    Large ball of matted fur under both of her ears & hind legs. Very painful. Had to be brought to the groomer to loosen/cut it up.

We are not new dog owners and with our previous dog, we lived the best life - traveling across US and Canada, flying on planes, staying in hotels, dining at Michelin star restaurants, going to work at the office, walking off leash, etc - with zero professional training. He actually was a puppy school drop out! We learned that all dogs are different and with our new pups, we needed help on dealing with behavioral issues like reactivity. Through positive reinforcement, Amy coached us on how to loose leash walk our dogs in heel position. She also showed us how to do "place" work, use spatial pressure and how to get our dogs to focus on us around distractions. We also learned how to turn up our praising game verbally and with treats! Trainings were mainly at Butcher Park which is a very high pressure environment given the amount of dogs at any given time. It really put us to the test and honestly, we were challenged! It's hard work. We had homework after each lesson, but we committed to practicing in between lessons. We weren't perfect but we always showed up ready to learn, and to give and receive feedback each time with the goal of growing and improving. We ended up doing "board and train" for both of our dogs (one at a time) and we couldn't have been more pleased with the outcome. We needed a jumpstart and Amy gave us the knowledge and tools to set us up for how we want to live our lives with our French bulldogs. She truly loves dogs and wants the best for them and their owners. We highly recommend Amy!

But the more I work inside the semiconductor industry, the more I want to get away from the noise, the people, and be w/ the animals. When animals are hungry, they eat. When animals are tired, they sleep. When there are conflicts, they fight. They have no hidden agenda. They will love you unconditionally no matter what you bring to the table. Booking the reservation was easy. You pay half of it first to secure the timeslot. At the time of your reservation, you will be asked to pay the remaining balance. Paying cash will give you 10% off. You can bring children and even your dogs! They have a small area for kids to play. You can bring fruits/vegetables or purchase food for $10. All of their animals (cows, chickens, alpacas, goats, rabbits, and dogs) are secured. You can feed them, take selfies w/ them, and pet them but you cannot be inside the enclosures. The cats are healthy and friendly, they roam the property. There wasn't a single area I saw that wasn't maintained. Every animal and every enclosure were clean and well taken care of. Jasmine and Andrew were personable, friendly, and you can see how much love and patience they radiate. I cannot wait to head back. This time I will bring Gavin. From that day on, I decided to stop consuming lamb, goat, and a day after turkey. i am not trying to be vegan or a vegetarian but I wanted to reduce my carbon footprint what w/ all the AI data centers and the artic no longer being protected, I just feel it's my duty to do my part in helping preserve this planet not just for my kids, but for all living beings on this planet - mainly the animals.

Not only was their brand new facility fresh and beautiful (by doggie day care industry standards I suppose), but more importantly, we knew that they took excellent, attentive care of our pup. He had an unexpected and atypical health concern arise while we were away, and Amber, one of the owners (along with her partner Matt), made sure he got the medical attention he needed. She took him to the vet (who coordinated with us directly so that we were still in charge of his treatment), administered our dog's medication as needed, and communicated closely with us the whole time and in the days that followed. Our dog fortunately made a quick recovery. We were so very grateful. And when we got home, as we were leaving Gizmo's, it was clear by his aggressively loving wags, jumps, and licks on the staff that our dog had become very attached to them while we were away. Since that first time, we've boarded him several more times and done a daycare day here and there, and he is always super excited once he realizes he's about to be dropped off at Gizmo's. Most importantly, he is welcomed back like family every time.

Barbara is very great at communication from the first contact all throughout the duration of rabbit boarding. Questions are specific as in which veggies are most preferred, hay preference, vaccine and vet information. They also provided an enclosure with toys and hidey spots so all we had to do was drop our bun off in a carrier. She would send daily videos and photos along with detailed updates (like how she would lounge all day and snack on her hay and list the veggies she was fed). Barbara shows a lot of experience as she has a variety of veggies as well as regularly cleaning out the water bowl and tidying the enclosure. She would also spend time petting and changing up the toys and tunnels as well. Receiving texts on our bun was something I looked forward to during our trip as I would see how relaxed and comfortable she was!
