History

Established in 1978.

Alan’s dog training ability became apparent in 1976. At 16 years old he had already become the neighborhood dog trainer, making the neighborhood where he lived a happy place for dog-​owners. With dogs being his passion, Alan found places where he could use his skills to make a living. For several years he assembled group classes spawned by interested parties at pet stores and veterinarian facilities. Working at a few popular boarding facilities, he was able to also do «Board and Train» type training, The Board and Train approach became so popular that he and his wife decided to open a boarding facility of thier own and began boarding dogs for just boarding care as well as dogs for training. Alan’s vast experience working with all the other dog-​related facilities made Alan’s Canine’s success inevitable.

These guys are great, I found them online about year and a half ago and they always exceed my expectations. My dog loves coming here and always comes home in great condition. We even had a moment where we left my dog there while we were on vacation and she got some kind of infection in her eye. They immediately got me on the phone and ran her to the vet to get her looked at and get medicine for her eye. Everything turned out OK, but being so far away I was very worried, but they actually sent me pictures via text to show me that her eye immediately started to improve. If you ever need a dog kennel for your travel needs, I couldn’t recommend a better place to leave your loved one!!!

We have been bringing our german shepards to Alan and Karen for years. They are the best! Alan is also an amazing trainer.

I have to tell you, I was very concerned leaving my little shih tzu with anyone. He is a rescue dog from a horrible situation and has had severe anxiety. I was going on vacation to the east coast and couldn’t take him. I looked up kennels and then toured a few. Allen’s was by far the most professional and clean. I loved that it was out in the country. The inside was cooled for the dogs which was a concern for me since its been 100+ degrees out recently! Karen was wonderful! She is truly interested in animals. she got me a quote and made arrangements for my dog. I even called her during the week to see how Marley was doing. She gave me good reports which gave me peace. When I returned home Marley was brushed and ready to go! I am so happy with this service that I plan on using them again! Thank you Karen!!!

While traveling through the area in an RV we had to have some repairs done. They were able to kennel our pups even though it was last minute. We found out the repairs would take longer than expected and they were very flexible. Our dogs were happy and not stressed when we picked them up. Highly recommended!!!

Really glad we found this place. I’m always weary of boarding my small dog because I have had bad experiences in the past butn I was going out of town and needed a place to take my dog. I called and spoke with one of the owners and even though it was the same day they had space and made me feel very comfortable. When I arrived the made sure to ask a lot of questions about my dogs likes and habits. When I came to pick him up the handler was giving him a nice brushing (so awesome because he is often matted when I have picked him up from a boarder) and he went to sleep as soon as we got in the car. I will definitely use them again. This is literally the best kennel I have ever taken him to and I have boarded him in several other cities and even other states

We have taken our dogs to Alan’s several times over the past 10 years. This is our first choice for boarding. We like knowing our dogs will be well taken care of. We love Alan and his family.

Recently had a death in the family and had to drop off last minute. With no reservations they took our dog and request with no problems. Upon picking our dog up we knew she was not distraught as we could not hear her barking with the other dogs. When she saw us she was excited as always and we could tell she had plenty of love and attention the 5 days she spent there. The wife also called later after we picked up to let us know how much their daughter loved our dog, make us more sure she had plenty of attention while she was there. We will definitely be going back and recommending Alan’s to EVERYONE.

My dogs stayed at Alan’s for the first time this weekend. The staff there were friendly and helpful, and my dogs warmed up to them immediately. The facilities are clean and airy. My dogs seemed well taken care of. I will definitely be back.

Berkeley, CA
I inherited a young willful German Shepherd, my first dog. The dog was nearly 3 year old when I got him. I tracked down Alan’s Canine by the paperwork and took my dog up there for training. It’s a trek from Berkeley but I figured it was worth the drive for the breeder to help me with this wild dog. And it was! I now have a happy trained dog and am learning all the time from Karen and Alan. I take him up for grooming and boarding even though it’s over an hour’s drive because Guido is happy there, he’s excited when we get close by and is happy when we arrive. This is a dog who used to cry and moan and vomit when he gets groomed and has security issues from being not well taken care of his first years. That’s the best endorsement I can give… my dog is happy, Alan and Karen and their staff are terrific dog and people people.

I have been using Alan’s Canine for the past eight years; my vet recommended them. Alan, Karen, and their staff are fantastic! You can tell they love dogs by how they work with them and talk about them (very educational). The kennel is situated on plenty of land and is well-​organized and clean. Alan also provides obedience training. I rescued a female boxer eight years ago who is dog-​aggressive and Alan helped me successfully work with her on obedience commands. When you board your dog, you can request play time/​walks and grooming for an additional fee (which I do). I highly recommend Alan’s Canine. You will have peace of mind while you are away from your dog (s).

Mission: Train 5 month old rescue dog (German Wired Hair Pointer mix) that goes full throttle all day.
Trainer: Alan
Method: Positive re-​enforcement by treats and verbal praise. 8 weeks basic obedience training. One on one training with Alan handling the dog exclusively for the first few lessons. When you become handler, learn to mesh with dog. The dog will be ahead of you on the learning curve.
Results: After 8 weeks, Alan advised an additional 8 lessons would help both man and dog. This was an honest evaluation and the decision to continue would be mine. I could tell that my dog needed the extra lessons. I also felt as the dog handler I needed more time to be effective with the dog. During the training period, it was determined that my dog had a problem with recall in the field. The remedy was to use an electric collar. I was glad I had Alan’s guidance as an E-​Collar can easily be misused. My dog is trained with positive re-​enforcement so E-​Collar use is strictly monitored. Now at 15 lessons I have almost 100 percent recall. Her off leash obedience is fantastic.
Superstar: ALAN. Thanks Alan, I am going to enjoy my dog so much more over her life time due to your help.

Ok, thier address has changed. It is 5529 Hay Road, Vacaville, CA 95 687. Phone number (707)447−4973.
We hate to leave our dogs with strangers because they are part of our family. Recently we had to go out of town for five days. We came across this family owned business and we really liked it. Our dogs were well taken care of and the feeling was that they really love what they do there.
We will defineately be back.
