The Doghouse: Boarding, Daycare & Training

Introduction

LAPS is proud to offer trusted boarding, daycare, and training services to the community through our Doghouse Program, located at the Fraser Valley Institution in Abbotsford.

This program is a unique partnership between LAPS and the Correctional Service of Canada (CSC). Women in custody participate in an employment training program where they learn valuable skills in dog handling, training, and grooming—under the direct supervision of LAPS’s experienced coordinators.

With our unique setup and smaller group sizes, the Doghouse can give your dog extra attention, exercise, and playtime. While staying with us, dogs enjoy:

  • Lots of off leash time in spacious fenced play areas
  • Individualized care and interaction with staff and program participants
  • Enrichment tailored to your dog’s needs, including training games and sniffing adventures
  • A calm, low-stress environment focused on their comfort and well-being

This unique program also provides opportunities for dogs to go home with one of the women participating in the kennel program. This allows the dogs to stay in a low stress, home-like setting during their stay. When you choose the Doghouse, you’re giving your dog high-quality care while also supporting women in gaining valuable skills that prepare them for future employment—a true win-win for the community.

  • Spayed or neutered by 12 months of age (and not in season)
  • Medically stable and behaviourally suited to a kennel setting
