Our Facility

  • Welcome to Rocky Mountain Canine, a private, peaceful haven nestled on 30 elk-fenced acres in beautiful Yahk, BC. Our unique location is designed with your dog’s adventure and comfort in mind. With six scenic trails ranging from gentle strolls to more challenging uphill climbs, we offer something for dogs of all ages and athletic abilities.

    In addition to our mountain hikes, we have multiple fully fenced yards for off-leash play and downtime. These areas are equipped with water misters, dog pools, and shaded shelters to help pups stay cool and comfortable on hot days.

    As a newly opened facility, we’re excited to keep growing! We’ll be adding even more features throughout the summer to make your dog’s stay even better.

  • At Rocky Mountain Canine, our kennels are anything but ordinary. We’ve designed each one to prioritize comfort, privacy, and peace of mind for our four-legged guests. You won’t find chain link here—our custom-built kennels are fully enclosed with walls that reach the ceiling and are housed in three separate soundproof rooms to reduce stress and create a calming environment.

    Room One features our spacious double kennel—perfect for bonded pairs—while Rooms Two and Three each contain three thoughtfully designed kennels. Every room is equipped with its own dedicated heating and air conditioning system, ensuring a perfectly controlled climate year-round. Soft music plays in the background to help create a relaxing atmosphere.

    Each kennel also includes a private outdoor run, shaded and secure, so dogs can enjoy fresh mountain air—even on the hottest days. Our layout makes daily cleaning easy and hygienic, while still offering a luxury-level experience for your dog’s stay.

  • What makes Rocky Mountain Canine truly unique is our unwavering commitment to individualized care and safety for every dog, no matter their temperament or breed. Our small, boutique setup—with just 7 custom-built kennels across 3 separate rooms—ensures that each dog has their own quiet, secure space. With no chain link, no shared yard, and no pack-style yard time, your dog’s comfort and safety are always our top priority.

    We do not mix client dogs—there are no unpredictable group walks or chaotic playtimes here. Instead, we offer structured, one-on-one hikes, solo yard time with plenty of enrichment, and calm relaxation in our shaded outdoor spaces.

    For dogs who love socializing, we do have our own friendly pack of 4 well-trained dogs who are available for supervised play, if requested.

    Because we keep our numbers low—a maximum of 8 dogs at any time—every guest receives the time, attention, and personalized experience they deserve. Every dog gets at least 3 long hikes a day, off leash or on, along with yard play time.

    We're not just a kennel; we're a purpose-built canine retreat designed to provide adventure, rest, and safety in equal measure.
