I have had extremely pleasant experiences with Mission Country Kennels, each time I have used their…read moreservices. They are, in my opinion, almost fanatically dedicated to dogs. Their facility is LOVELY - charming - and well maintained; truly, you have to see this place to believe it! All forest and trees, lots of room for the dogs to play and dig and run. And my impression is that they truly care for, and adore, all the dogs that come to them. Real 'dog people', to be sure. Indeed, so concerned are they about the dogs' well-being, that they are, in fact, somewhat strict! They have very specific requirements about 'times for pick up and drop off', to ensure the dogs are not unduly disturbed with a constant, random stream of clients coming at all hours. (Each time a vehicle arrives at the facility, it excites the dogs, who are always waiting for their owner's return - follow?) So, while slightly restrictive, this shows just how much they care about the dogs, not only physically, but emotionally also. Very kind people. I would unquestioningly board my pet here again, and would unhesitatingly recommend Mission Country Kennels to everyone in the Lower Mainland. Frankly if there is a better boarding Kennel in town, I'd like to see that!

I've had them board my large 110-115 lb chocolate lab several…read moretimes over the last 5 years. As was said, they are quite strict in insuring dogs being boarded are healthy and compatible with the other boarding dogs. Their facility is clean and well thought out to allow dogs with similar temperents to play together. I'm happy that they do care enough to carefully screen potential boarders. My lab is a very friendly and non-confrontational dog that could easily be damaged by aggressive behavior. The last things I want is to find him torn up or sick from preventable diseases. I have full confidence that the entire staff do really care for the well being of their boarders and would highly recommend their kennel to anyone that truly cares for their pets.

Lucy was a changed dog after 4 weeks of 'Boarding + Training' with the 'stim collar' style of training others know it as 'electro stim collar' sending a vibration to your pet. As a Registered Acupuncturist in B.C . I can state that the stimulation is gentle to your pet. Many Acupuncturists will use the same stimulation to injured muscles. Mission Obedience Unleashed gets a 5 STAR from our family. Prior to sending our pup for this training she was counter-surfing in the kitchen, body checking us and almost knocking us down plus continually mouthing our hands. We love having our obedient puppy today. We would recommend Mission Obedience Unleashed to everyone. 'You won't be disappointed with such a professional group of trainers!.

They truly have the dogs best interest in mind and always make you, the owner, feel welcome! My dog Max goes there every week, and boards there when we go out of town.

They also make sure your dog is compatible with the other dogs, so they advise you to bring your dog in for a couple of hours prior to the boarding date, and that's free of charge! They even share updates on their Instagram page, where you can see photos, which I think is fantastic! The staff really know how to make you feel at ease. The best part is that they separate the big dogs from the small dogs, which is great! This is our go-to place for boarding our dog, and I highly recommend it!

I opted for the meadow walks which are an additional charge. The location is very scenic and they seemed anxious to make sure Rip had a good stay.

Nice to have a boarding kennel I can feel good about.

In a nutshell their "human" customer service skills are terrible. That said, their dog skills may…read morebe excellent - but at the end of the day a human is forking over the $$, so I think we humans count in some minuscule way. After doing a month of research on dog boarding facilities, I settled upon TNT in Abbotsford. That's an hour driving time with traffic but I want the best for my new puppy. The first phone inquiry I made to TNT was polite but harried. Okay, no problem they're busy, I understand. Btw, I spent $320 including taxes for 7 days of boarding plus extra services which included 2 walks a day etc. Not cheap. But that's okay I want the best for my pup. Two days after my puppy was boarded I made a call to check on my puppy to see how she's adapting. The lady on the other end said great but she seemed slightly irritated I was taking up her time and then she rushed me off the phone. Okay..... The second and last time I called was at 10am, (which is their office time), the day before pick up. I asked how my puppy was getting on and wanted to make arrangements for pick up. She was rude and rushed me off the phone once again with a promise to call me back but didn't call back until I called again at 6pm - now I was irritated. I mean, I was calling during office hours which are stated on their website between 8:00am-11am. I received a call at 6pm from someone else to whom I explained my frustration about this rude employee. She said they're busy and that the other employee at the kennel thought I was taking up too much of her time over the phone. What? A less than five minute phone call asking for an update? That's absurd. If that's what 300 bucks gets you... Upon arrival for pick up she told me my puppy received a little extra attention in the office because, well, she's a puppy. I'm grateful for their care of my pooch. If my dog had a great time there, then excellent but I wasn't aware of any of her activities other than the two 10 minute walks/day and the office time upon the arrival for pick up. Was she playing with the other dogs, did she get other socialization time? I don't know because they wouldn't tell me of her activities. Hopefully, she wasn't in a cage for 8 hours a day. I will never know. And that's what I'm not impressed with. The lack of communication skills - with humans - and the way my 2 phone calls were handled. Like I said on my way out, socialization of dogs is important but the socialization of humans is essential. Will not be back.
