Tanner's Canine Resort is now hiring! We offer all-day daycare, luxury boarding, state-of-the-art training, and an incredible doggy spa experience. Opening in 2020, the facility was designed for dog safety, comfort, and enrichment with small play groups, attentive staff, clean suites, and expansive outdoor play areas. We are independently owned — not a franchise — offering individual, custom care in a facility with a 6,000+ sq ft K9 Grass play yard (no ticks, fleas, digging, mud, or puddles), staff on-site 24/7, and all team members trained through Dog Handler Academy. A veterinary center is next door, and the kennel features powerful air filtration, a wet/dry central vac, Kohler backup generator, ample shade and fresh water, sprinklers and misters for summer, temperature-controlled indoor play for extreme weather, Kuranda beds and cuddle mats for boarders, nighttime healthy treats, free exit baths for stays of five+ nights, and plenty of hugs, cuddles, belly rubs, and love.
