Client Testimonials
For three years I’ve used Camano Island Kennels to board my dogs and recommend it to everyone. As Animal Control Officers, certified trainers, and great people, Dianna and Jason have my full confidence in their abilities to handle and care for my high-energy dogs! Their kennel building and outside areas are also well designed to make every dog feel at home. I have much peace of mind when my girls stay with them, even for extended periods.

Camano Island Kennels have provided my dogs and myself with exceptional service since 1999. From puppies to my now older special needs dog, they are the only facility I trust will take care of my dogs like they are their own. Jason and Dianna operate a five star facility and I highly recommend them for all your dog care needs.

At Camano Island Animal Shelter we receive dogs of various breeds, temperaments and backgrounds. Dianna and Jason have been assisting us by volunteering regular training sessions, with our shelter dogs and the animal shelter staff, in obedience and leash work. This has made a remarkable difference in the lowering of kennel stress and has resulted in our shelter dogs behaving more calmly when meeting potential adopters. We’ve noticed that the dogs’ expressions have even softened.

In August, my dog Ella was boarded and spent three weeks on basic obedience training. When Dianna and Jason showed me the work they had done with Ella, I was so impressed. She was transformed from a mostly frightened, unsure, and untrained rescued dog, into a confident and obedient, eager to please companion that I’ve been trying to ”catch up” with ever since. The Camano Island Kennel facilities are impeccable and Dianna and Jason’s knowledge and experience is so evident in Ella. Thanks so much.

Many thanks to Jason and Dianna for six effective dog training lessons filled with meaningful pointers for both the dog and the owner. Upon completion of the course, I now have the foundation to reinforce basic commands. I highly recommend the professionals at Camano Island Kennels.

Dianna and Jason, we cannot thank you enough for all we learned through your obedience course! It is unlike any ones I have been to in the past. Realizing how much I have done wrong over the years, it is a thrill to try to learn to be a good pack leader and see the results with our dog. Thank you so much.

My dog and I participated in a small group training class and I was extremely pleased with the experience and the results. I have a dog that for the most part is well mannered, but she does have some issues, and I was very pleased with the tips on how to handle her specific issues. All of the dogs/owners got individual attention in that each dog was used to show techniques for handling different types of behavior, and watching the other dogs be trained was nearly as helpful as the individual attention we got. Overall I think the entire group of people in my class was pleased and surprised to see how dog behavior can be modified. I expect to enroll in classes in the future. I also use Camano Island Kennels for dog boarding on a regular basis.

We’ve spoken very highly to our dog-owning friends about your training skills and expertise. They have all commented about her change (unsolicited comments!). We’ve so appreciated your feedback and patience with us as we learned. We now have a much healthier and happier dog which also means WE are much happier! We wouldn’t hesitate to send our friends and their dogs your way for training and for boarding. Thank you, again, for your patience and sense of humor with us! Chase has a come a long way - but I think Bob and I have come even farther!

Both Dianna and Jason have made a HUGE improvement in my four dogs in terms of their “manners”. I have learned to expect more of them and not to let anything slide. I’m even asking more of my deaf dog, who has had no formal training. And, of course, gaining the intellectual understanding that I can do this is so invaluable. Without the assistance of a trainer, I know that I would not have been able to integrate an aged, deaf dog into my pack of three large young dogs. The recent six-week obedience class has made my youngest, and craziest dog of the pack, a rather good citizen. The skills I learned in the class not only helped my youngest dog but will benefit the rest of the “pack.”

The obedience classes we completed with Camano Island Kennels were priceless! We didn’t just learn how to train our dog… we learned to change our thinking and use everyday situations as tools. We now have a four year old Retriever that is learning to be a part of the family, rather than a nuisance. Every dog owner should take these classes!

One, one-hour lesson with Jason and Dianna made more impact than all of the previous training combined. We backed that experience up by attending their six-week doggie school which helped even more. We plan to go back to Jason and Dianna for regular refreshers. “Gertie” also boards at their kennel and loves it! We have seen the results achieved by Dianna and Jason with other dogs and would recommend them to anyone who would like to develop a well-behaved dog.

We came home to a happy dog.We trust and recommend Jason and Dianna to any and all people in need of EXCELLENT dog training and or boarding. Not only have they helped us and our dog, but they are also wonderful people to know. Congratulations Jason and Dianna for winning “Best Kennel 2008”

Our vet had recommended Jason and Dianna... We elected to begin obedience training with a week of their in-kennel training. When I stood behind their office window, as I watched Jason and Dianna work Chinook through what he had learned in just a week-- leading, sit/stay, down/stay, it brought tears to my eyes. All of this, and there were no snacks given to him for his performance, just "good boy/caressing", and he wanted to perform more!!!

Dianna and Jason - Our experience with your training classes and boarding has been absolutely exceptional. In regard to the training classes, we never dreamed that our 10-year-old dogs could have made the improvements they have in such a short time. It is like we are living with different dogs! In regard to the boarding, we finally feel like we have been given the freedom to travel without worrying... We have never trusted anyone to handle our dogs the way we trust you. Thank you so much, and Dusty and Sadie thank you, too!
