Canine Solutions

I’ve gotta echo others when I say taking my dog there feels like sending him on vacation. My guy instantly ran up to Gina to greet her and made friends with the other dogs and ran away with them without so much a second glance back! That honestly makes you feel really good about leaving your dog because he knows he’s about to have a good time. I initially chose it because she does cage free boarding. That, along with the ranch style property just sounded like a great fit.
The property is awesome– a little deep into wine country, plenty of room (fenced) for your pup to run around and play in, get tired. The first time I boarded my guy with her, he was a rundown newly adopted guy and she went above and beyond in taking care of him for me. This is my go to place if I have to go out of town, I literally drive 45 – 50 minutes so Samson can get boarded here. Highly recommend Canine Solutions. She also sends cute photos of your pup/​text updates if asked for :)

Gina, the owner, is absolutely amazing! Every time I pick my dogs up she tells me a funny story with details only someone would know who was truly paying attention and spending a lot of time with the pups. I never have a doubt that they are in excellent hands!!!

All I need to tell our 8 month old puppy is she’s going to «Doggy Disneyland» and she jumps all over in excitement! Our puppy gets to play with other well-​mannered dogs all day, has her own bed at night and we don’t have to worry about our dog coming home with bad habits or manners. Gina is a true treasure to us!

Russell and I came to Canine solutions in April of this year. I needed a place for him to stay while I got settled in. Gina was a blessing for both of us. Russell isnt an aggressive dog but he did have his quirks about socializing — Gina took the time to understand him (and me). She helped us work it out and he is a much happier dog! Gina is amazing, she is professional, effective, sincere and truly loves animals. Russell was at the ranch for an extended time and I never worried about his health or safety. I knew he was in very good hands.

Gina is amazing. Great location! She was able to teach me how to train our new pup even w the distraction of my two young boys. I would most definatly recomend canine solutions.

This place gets a 5 woof rating from our four legged family member. Our furry baby loves, loves, loves to go to Gina’s ranch to play. She’s so good to him when we kennel him, that he doesn’t realize his «vacation» is actually «fat camp». He gets to run around, play with other dogs, take a dip in the pool, and tag along on trail rides. He’s pooped out when we pick him up to come home, and slimmer and trimmer too! Gina loves dogs, and it shows. I’m so glad we were referred to Gina and Canine Solutions. Gina is the lady to see if you need initial training for your dog, follow up/​refresher training, or just an amazing ranch to run around on while the parents are away. Paws down, this is the place to go.

Gina is hands down a great trainer! We sent our Chocolate Lab Archer to get training since he was chewing up everything (sprinklers, hoses, etc…) you name it he chewed it. He also had a hard time listening to commands. After spending 2 weeks at Gina’s Canine Solutions Puppy Boot Camp, Archer came back a new dog. He listened and stopped chewing things he was not supposed to chew. Gina also spent time training us on the breed characteristics as well, as how we as owners needed to behave to ensure the training was embedded in Archer. We are constantly getting compliments on how well behaved our dog is, and Gina deserves all of the credit. Every time we need to board archer, he returns to Gina and receives follow up and refresher training. Archer literally gets excited when he gets into our car thinking he is going to Gina’s. When he does see Gina’s house he is trying everything to get out of the car to go and play with Gina and her dogs. Now we send Archer to Gina’s because he has put on some weight since we have a toddler that loves to share his dinner with Archer. Gina’s has a «portly dog camp» which is very successful in getting results. We are truly lucky we found Canine Solutions, and by the way it was another boarder who recommended canine solutions to us. Since then, we have never looked back.

We sent our Boxer Samson to Gina at Canine Solutions over 7 years ago for obedience training and could not be happier with the results, then and now. He is the perfect dog. He does everything we ask of him. If you knew him before going to see Gina, you would not believe your eyes when he came home. Boxers are known for jumping and Samson has not jumped, without being asked too, since Gina got her hands on him. He will sit, stay, down, come when called. We can sit him down while eating and he does not beg. It really is amazing. Fast forward to two months ago we got our new little guy, Nuka, also a boxer. Even before we got him home we knew that he was going to Gina’s. We brought him to her from AZ. We knew she is the best and we would not be able to find the same type of person that is so caring and loving with our dogs. It is almost like she has another addition to her pack. Nuka was not as good of a student as Samson was but she worked her magic and he is every bit as good of a dog as we expected coming home from Canine Solutions. I never worry, even for one minute, my dogs are with her. If you are like me and don’t like to «board» your dog’s when you go on vacation then Canine Solutions is your solution. Your dogs will feel like they got a vacation too.

I was not looking forward to «boarding» our 6mo old puppy for 10 days, as she doesn’t do well while confined. I was thrilled when I found Gina’s Puppy Camp since it’s cageless and on horse property. Our dog loved it there and we were able to enjoy our vacation without worrying about our little girl. And, because of Gina’s dog training skills, we got back a better behaved puppy, too. We will only be sending our 4-​legged child to Canine Solutions from now on.

I have two much loved pugs and always trust them to Gina at Canine Solutions when I have to go out of town. It’s dog boarding at a residence on horse property about 10 min. out of wine country. They run free all day and get lots of exercise, large and small dogs are separated, only well behaved ones are taken because of this. If it’s too hot they are inside in an air conditioned doggy play area. She also is a dog trainer and has «doggie fat camps» and knows how to help overweight dogs lose weight. My doggies are happy there and I’m glad to take them somewhere I can really trust.

Great place where dogs can safely play cage free all day when you are away.
