Canine Corral San Jose, California

Great experience the first time I've come. Can't wait to bring my dog back.

Good place to day care dog. Dog needs socializing. also have used their boarding service. Both excellent. No issues.

I’ve been taking my dogs here for years and I love it. They are great with the dogs, and it’s been wonderful watching my dog grow more social with other dogs over time.

Love Dawna! Very good and knowledgeable trainer. Their daycare is great too.

Staff is attentive and really great with the animals. My dog loves it there.

I am so very grateful for everything Dawna and her team do to make my Phoebe happy and comfortable during the day when I have to work. I have utilized both the daycare and training through their services. They go the extra mile to demonstrate how much they value my girl and the team shows me everyday how much they love her.

We love Dawna and her staff. Our pitbull, King, has been coming to Canine Corral for boarding since he was 14 weeks old. He is now 1 year old and 100 lbs. He's a rambunctious big boy, but the staff is great with him and give him breaks if he gets out of line. After coming for boarding, we finally decided to invest in training classes through Happy Tails. I'm so happy we did. I was really nervous to see how he'd do, but it was well worth the time and investment. I learned so much about my own temperament and behavior I was encouraging without realizing it. King was super anxious his first class (and so was I), but Dawna did a great job of making us feel comfortable. It only took 1 and a half classes to get us settled and comfortable with the other dogs. I highly recommend Canine Corral and Happy Tails!

Dawna and all the staff are amazing. We have been taking Teddy Blaze to daycare once a week for almost a year, and we have definitely seen a difference in our energetic Labrador retriever. With consistency at home and at daycare Teddy has been able to follow commands, and continues to be a fun loving canine to our family and friends. After daycare Teddy is exhausted, and we know he had a fun filled day with the staff.

We have been using Canine Corral for several years for weekly day care and occasional overnight stays for our labrador retriever. She absolutely loves it there- in great part due to the incredible staff. In fact, she starts barking with excitements several blocks away and can't wait to get inside. Dawna and her team deeply care about all the dogs they work with, and you can see it in the way that they run the business. Highly recommend them!

Canine Corral is amazing. They are the obvious choice in the Bay Area for boarding. Their staff is extremely friendly, their prices are competitive, and the facility is great (they are also in the process of making it even better). I recommend this place to everyone I come in contact with that has to board their doggos.

Canine Corral is fantastic. We have taken our dogs there for both daycare and boarding for many years. Our dogs are always excited when they realize they are going to Canine Corral. When I drop them off they are happy and wiggly with all the staff members. I never worry about our dogs when we go away.

Best quality of doggy boarding care, I highly recommend Canine Corral. Augie loves coming here and always returns a better-behaved dog (and clean too!). He gets bonus training practice and lots of love from the wonderful staff. And the training classes are wonderful. Thank you for all you do for us!

My boyfriend and I have a one year old terrier/border collie mix that we adopted. Over the course of the last 6 months we noticed that Arya was very afraid of other people and was getting defensive with other dogs. So, we looked for support and canine corral has done wonders for Arya! Everyone there is so helpful and after just 4 days at daycare over 2 weeks we have seen such positive improvement in aryas body language toward other dogs but strangers as well. That is a testament to the workers at canine corral and their interaction with the dogs at their day camp I truly can’t thank them enough and would recommend them to anyone in a heartbeat. We are also doing dog training with them as well.

We have been satisfied clients of Dawna since before she opened Canine Corral - all of our dogs have taken her training classes and earned their Canine Good Citizen certificates. Our dogs have boarded at Canine Corral several times, and always come home healthy & happy (One of our dogs used to come home hoarse from other boarding facilities, because she was barking all day due to stress and anxiety. That's not a problem when she stays at Canine Corral, so I know that they are taking good care of her and that she feels safe and protected.) It's really nice to be able to go on vacation and relax because you can 100% trust Dawna and the staff at Canine Corral to take care of your furry friends.

Highly recommended - very nice facility and great staff. I've been taking both of my dogs to Canine Corral (both for daycare and overnight boarding) for years because I know they'll be well taken care of.

I have been taking my dog Winston to Canine Corral for two years now. The staff here are amazing (especially Megan and the owner Dawna) and know how to deal with dogs that can be a bit more challenging to handle than most. My dog has some fear based aggression with new people. Most other daycare/boarding facilities would automatically reject a dog like mine because of these issues. Canine Corral has a wonderful owner named Dawna, who happens to be an amazing dog trainer. She runs Happy Tails Dog Training that Winston and I completed together. She saw his problems and helped me be a better, more confident owner with him. That in turn makes him a better, more confident dog so he can be more secure and not so fearful of new people. The staff are amazing and I feel great knowing I can drop my dog off for daycare or boarding and that he is in the best place for him to be well taken care while I am gone!!

We are so happy with Canine Corral! Hunter went through their puppy training, has been boarded a few times and goes to daycare often - and he LOVES it! The staff is amazing and always friendly and what really tells me he's happy to be there - he gets excited when we pull in the parking lot and loves when he sees the staff! I highly recommend Canine Corral for any of their services!! We know we're in good hands!

I can’t recommend Canine Corral enough!

We have been clients of Canine Corral for 14+ years. Their expert care for our dogs and our family has been outstanding. We met Dawna when we rescued our first pup and feel so grateful to have their partnership in learning about, training and caring for our dogs. We can’t say enough good things about the Canine Corral team!

I took my dog to Canine Corral to keep her socialized with other dogs. She had a great time, AND came home totally worn out (a tired dog is a good dog!). Dawna and her team are absolutely AWESOME!

I love this dog daycare! I was referred by a rescue volunteer, and I'm very happy I checked it out. My dog loves going twice a week. She is very well cared for there.

Excellent care for my 4-legged baby. He loves his friends, both human and canine, and always looks happy to go (starts whining with excitement when we approach the last intersection before Woodard). When we first started coming here, he was leash aggressive and didn’t appreciate others of his kind but Dawna quickly ‘cured’ him of it and we really appreciated her not giving up on him. Other places we tried wouldn’t take him after 10 min intro. But Dawna saw that he was a great dog who just needed some help with his manners and took him on. Now they tell me he gets along with everybody and has no issues at all. The humans also do a great job with his nails and with brushing his coat and he loves the extra cookies and peanut butter he gets in the process ;) Highly recommend this place.

Nothing but Care, Love and Responsibility

Such an amazing, caring staff! I have an older dog and a younger one as well and both of their needs are met in the best ways possible. I'm so delighted to have found Canine Corral. - Gita

Our 4 month old Aussie pup has loves going here. The staff were great with our first day jitters. Explaining everything and answering all our questions with patience. Fitch excitedly helps when we pull up and can't wait to go inside. We're so grateful for a safe, caring place to send our boy for a day of fun.

Canine Corral is my dog's second home and second family. The staff is amazing and truly love the dogs they care for. I have no reservations about leaving my dog for daycare or boarding services. We have also taken advantage of the training that is offered. This is the second dog I have taken to Canine Corral and I can think of no better place to take her.

The staff was wonderful with my dog Rona and spoiled her with love.

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.

Awesome! Incredible trainer, respectful class.

I knocked repeatedly on the door, knowing there was someone inside, but she refused to come to the door!
