Our Services

Low-stress Dog Boarding

I offer dog boarding, as available, to dog/cat/human tolerant dogs in my home on 1/3 acre in Lakewood, CO.  A limited number of dogs (2-3 at a time) stay with me and live as my own pets do while you’re away. When not being actively supervised (i.e. during mid-day naptime and overnight for sleeping) they stay safely in large 4x4x5 kennels, listen to Through a Dog’s Ear or other classical relaxing pet music and sleep on cozy elevated beds in the climate-controlled dog room, and have regular access to the large, fully fenced yard during the day when supervised. Slow introductions are done with all other dogs they meet while here, to set everyone up for success. Existing clients are prioritized for bookings, but otherwise bookings are first come, first served.

Camp Kindred Canine
(Board & Train)

Board & Train is a minimum 14-day personalized program for your pup to head off to “Camp Kindred Canine” to do some intensive learning! I have a force-free, positive reinforcement philosophy and will teach you and your pup how to enjoy training and shore up those behaviors you wish you had the time to work on!

Private Coaching

All individual/private training starts with an inquiry, and then a consultation. I’ll visit your home to meet you and your dog and we can discuss your goals for training (i.e. basic manners training vs. modification of a specific behavior issue). We can make a game plan and discuss scheduling future training sessions. A 45 minute in-person initial consultation is $75 (or 15 mins free via Zoom.)

The Results

"Hayley at kindred canine is wonderful! I have a foster dog that couldn't just stay with a friend while i was out of town. Although he is a sweet dog he has some behavioral challenges that we are working through. She updated me with pictures while i was away and had only good things to say about Hilo when i returned! (she dropped Hilo off also!) Hayley has wonderful customer service and a true understanding of what it takes to keep all kinds of dogs happy! I would recommend her to just about anyone! Hilo and I are very grateful for your services!"
