At Columbia Canine Cottage we offer a unique bed and breakfast experience for your precious family friend. An anxiety-free boarding option, we pride ourselves in catering to the specific personalities of our guests. We monitor your pup's temperament and allow her to relax into the environment at her own pace. An open socialization facility, we even allow the guests to sleep in a home-like setting with a human!

We have created a just-like-home environment with your dog\'s emotional health in mind.
We make every effort to closely observe every dog, and determine what they need to feel comfortable while they\'re with us.
As a manager of a large kennel for 2 years, I saw how being caged damaged the psyche of most dogs.
At that kennel, the dogs were allowed to socialize and run free during the day, but the 12 hours of lock-down stressed anxious dogs and made dominant dogs overly aggressive.
Depression, diarhea, hunger strikes, and aggression were commonplace.

All visits must be prearranged.
Unexpected visitors cause a docile pack to get excited and that poses a danger to the dogs and caretakers.
To reduce the number of surprise pop-in visits, we do not publish our address.
We welcome anyone to visit for a tour, but an appointment is necessary.
During a tour, all dogs will be in kennels, we do not socialize the dogs in front of visitors, again due to the fact that a new human changes the pack dynamic and poses a danger to canine and human alike.

When Kurt comes to pick up our dog, she races out the gate and into Kurt\'s car - she CLEARLY enjoys Columbia Canine Cottage!
The pick-up/drop-off service is wonderfully convenient.
We love being able to check in through the video\'s sent via e-mail.
The cost is very reasonable.
We appreciate the bits of training and advice Kurt provides.
We would - and have - recommend Columbia Canine Cottage to everyone!
I frequently board my dog with Kurt at the Columbia Canine Cottage.
My dog, Badger is well cared for and often returns tired from being able to play while I am away.
