Dog Daycare, Boarding & Training in North Bay

We’ve trusted Canine Proficiency Centre with our dog, Sienna, for years, and we couldn’t ask for better care. At 14 years old, she’s a senior dog, and it’s such a comfort knowing she’s in the hands of people who are knowledgeable, compassionate, and genuinely love what they do.

The staff are always friendly and welcoming, and the facility and grounds are consistently clean and well maintained. The dogs have a safe environment where they can play, socialize, and rest comfortably.

Whenever we need to be away from home for an extended period, we know we can count on Canine Proficiency Centre to take wonderful care of our girl. That peace of mind is priceless.

A heartfelt thank you to Dean, Jessi, Roxy and the entire team for everything you do for Sienna and all the dogs in your care. We highly recommend Canine Proficiency Centre to anyone looking for a trustworthy, caring, and professional dog daycare and boarding facility!

Five stars are not enough! Jessi, Dean and Roxanna have been absolutely wonderful with my fur baby Riley! For starters, I ALWAYS come home with a tired dog. He has never come home with any cuts, puncture wounds or anything like that. This morning I had mentioned a concern I was having with him. When I picked him up tonight, they had been working on a solution for me, went out of their way to go into detail, and make me feel comfortable with this solution. Jessi made sure to give me the teachings to be able to be successful with it as well.
They have gone above and beyond any and all expectations I had of them. I feel so safe having my fur baby in their care, and I can tell by the way he acts when we reach the bottom of the hill that he is so excited to be going too!
I recommend them 100%! If you haven’t taken your dog to see them, do it, you won’t be disappointed!

I can’t say enough good things about Canine Proficiency Center in North Bay, Ontario! This is by far the best doggy daycare I’ve ever visited, and I’m so grateful to Dean and Jessie for creating such a welcoming and supportive environment.

Dean's knowledge of dog behavior is impressive. He provided invaluable guidance for our reactive German Shepherd, helping us understand how to manage his behavior and make the most of his daycare experience. It’s clear that he genuinely cares about each dog and is dedicated to their well-being.

The facility features spacious outdoor areas where the dogs can play freely and socialize with one another. It’s a fantastic environment for them to burn off energy and enjoy themselves, all while being supervised by the attentive staff. I always feel at ease knowing my pup is in such capable hands.

If you’re looking for a daycare that prioritizes safety and positive interactions, I highly recommend Canine Proficiency Center. Dean and Jessie have truly created a haven for dogs, and I can’t thank them enough for all they’ve done for our furry family member!

We had heard the name canine proficiency even before we had a dog! Once we adopted our dog of course we thought hey let's check this place out for our girl... we can't even put into words how much we love this place and so does our dog! She knows when we pull up and gets so excited and can't wait to run inside. Even during drop off she's rushing to get back to her friends. They are so accommodating with text updates when we ask. Oh, I have to mention the pictures! Dean does such AMAZING job with the pictures and trail walk videos. Who knew pictures from doggy daycare could be so awesome! I laugh out loud every time. He manages to capture THE BEST pictures cute and funny!

They truly are the most caring people and I have no second thoughts when we bring our girl here. I know she's having the best day ever. Dean has even offered a couple tips to help with training at pick up (our dog is young and large and is a bit of an excitable jumper) they worked sooo well she has become so much better with her jumping since going. This was such an unexpected but very appreciated touch... I could go on for days about how much we love this place but I'll leave it there. You'll have to check it out for yourself!

This place is amazing. From our first meeting, I knew this was a safe fun place for our bully. Our dog was welcomed with open arms, you can tell the entire team loves and cares for the dogs.
There’s always a funny story at pickup and they love to share how his day was.
Ferg can be quite particular about his humans and he adores coming here.
We’ve used the daycare and boarding services and can’t say enough about how much we love this place, how safe and comfortable they make us feel and what a fantastic experience our boy always has. That great big bully smile says it all!

We’ve been boarding our dog Zena here for a few years. We know when we go on vacation she’s in good hands, and having lots of fun! She actually looks forward to it, as she can’t wait to get in.
Our dog Zena is a handful, but they are great with her and you can tell.
I can’t recommend Canine Proficiency Center enough.
We plan our vacations around them being able to take her in, and drive out from Sudbury so she can board here. They’re that good!
