Curtin Creek Canine

Curtin Creek Canine is a dog boarding and training kennel at 9101 NE 119th St. in Vancouver, WA, offering traditional boarding and board-and-train programs. The focus leans toward training, from puppy basics to behavior work for reactive dogs.

What are the kennels like?

The facility uses custom-built indoor kennels measuring 6x5, along with 10x5 outdoor kennels. The outdoor kennels are cleaned and sanitized every day. The kennel's own site says the indoor runs were built with canine comfort and safety in mind.

What training does it offer?

Training is the main draw here. Owners who want more than a place for their dog to stay over a long weekend will find several options:

• Board-and-train programs, including puppy training
• Behavior modification for reactive dogs and aggression rehabilitation
• Off-leash training, including e-collar training
• Custom 6x5 indoor kennels and 10x5 outdoor kennels
• Outdoor space on the property

The approach suits owners working through a specific problem, like reactivity, as well as those starting a new puppy off with good habits.

What happens after a program ends?

Each program ends with an in-depth go-home lesson. That session walks owners through what their dog learned and how to keep it up at home. Clients also get lifetime virtual support, so questions that come up months later still have somewhere to go.

How do owners book or get in touch?

Booking is handled online through the Curtin Creek Canine website. For questions, the kennel can be reached at 360.518.3824 or curtincreekk9@outlook.com. Programs vary from dog to dog, so it makes sense to reach out first and check current availability before planning a stay.
