Absolute Kennels

Kamloops Dog Kennels

Conventional Dog Kennel

Our conventional dog kennels have indoor and outdoor living spaces. The indoor kennel is a room located in the basement of my home. It is climate controlled. The inside pens are 4×6‘ they are private and offer a comfortable, secure and safe space where dogs eat, sleep and relax.

The outside yards are 15′ x 20′. These individual yards have dog houses and a shelter for additional fun and frolic. In summer each yard is shaded and has its own pool.

Absolute Kennels has a play room for all our guests. This is a common area where dogs can socialize and feel free to relax. This room offers a TV, dog beds, toys. This is a comfort room for the dogs where they are warm and safe.

All dogs go out for a adventure daily where they can enjoy wide open spaces and views of the river while they run or walk.

MaureenYoung is the owner and operator of Absolute Retriever Kennels. She has over 35 years training/competing/travelling/boarding dogs. Through the years Maureen noticed some dogs do not thrive in a conventional kennel environment, and they become anxious and suffer while being boarded, even with attention and play time you could see the dog is not happy/comfortable.

For those caring owners Absolute offers two individual boarding programs.
