Our Story

Founded in 2017, we started Kootenay Canine Adventures to offer dogs in Cranbrook fun filled dog adventures. Six months later we expanded to Kimberley to offer the same. After 18 months of operations, it became clear that there was a need for a kennel to further offer the dogs in the area a comfortable place to stay & play. With that in mind, we purchased 28 acres in Wycliffe and built a doggy paradise. We custom built a kennel and play space offering 26 suites and 22,000 Sq Ft of play yards with 8 foot fences. 

In January 2025, after a brief closure and some big operational changes, we reopened stronger, more focused and more aligned with our goals. We reponed, prioritizing individual care, work/life balance and a renewed sense of joy in the work we do. As I write this 6 months after reopening, I can humbly say, we are in the best phase of our business enjoying all the hard work we put forth over the last 8 years. 

Our mission is to ensure the safety and health of dogs in our care. We focus on overnight comfort, maintaining your dogs exercise routine, and providing a secure environment where your dog can learn from others and develop appropriate social skills. 

We are deeply committed to providing a safe, comfortable overnight experience and an engaging adventure-filled day for your beloved dog. Your continued support has meant the world to our family.
