Welcome to Alan's Canine Training And Kennels

Alan's Canine Training and Kennels has been in the boarding business for over 25 years. We are a family-run business that resides on the property with our boarders. In 2008 we moved from our Dixon location to build and develop a better, more comfortable, newer, and safer boarding facility in the wonderful city of Vacaville! Though we still have plans to build a larger facility, we presently have wonderful indoor runs available for your boarding needs.

All Breed Dog Boarding

We have no breed restrictions however we are a hands-on facility, so we do require all of our boarders to be people-friendly. We currently offer comfortable indoor, climate-controlled runs that are supervised 24 hours a day. For more information about our current boarding facility please visit out boarding page.

Professional Dog Training

We are currently open for dog training at our facility in Vacaville where we live. Alan has been training dogs for over 35 years and has been successful in conquering problem behaviors as well as training for AKC, VPG titling, and obedience for the home pet dog. Having been a breeder/trainer of German Shepherd working dogs for over 20 years, he specializes in training the high-drive breeds in obedience. If you have any training problems or just want someone to show you what needs to be done, Alan is the one to go to. Please see our training page for more information.

Grooming Services Offered for Our Boarders

Grooming is offered at our new facility, too. We provide complete baths for our boarders. Grooming is a wonderful option for your boarded dog as it promotes a happy and comfortable reunion upon delivering your dog to you. Baths include a gentle and thorough massage shampooing to clean deep into the coat, ear cleaning, nail trimming and filing, and a powerful blow-dry to remove dead undercoat and reduce shedding.
