A little bit about us...
Tanner's Canine Resort in Waldwick, NJ opened in June 2020, and was designed exclusively with your dog's safety & care in mind. The owners set out to create a facility with more outdoor space than indoor space for dogs to run & play all day. The entire property is ideally suited for the comfort, safety and enjoyment of your four-legged family members. Here's what makes us unique:
- Not a Franchise! And nothing associated with franchises -- no late fees, packages never expire, everything included, customized care, no bait-and-switch, personal service and more!
- 6000+ sq ft yard covered in K9 grass astroturf for dogs to run, play, fetch & exercise.
- Astroturf means no ticks, fleas, digging, mud or puddles when it rains.
- Lots of shade & fresh water in our yard.
- Low 10-1 Dog-to-Supervisor ratio
- Owner/Head Trainer lives on property
- Vet Center located immediately next door
- Powerful air filtration, circulation and exhaust system
- State of the art cleaning and sanitizing system in our kennels.
- Kuranda beds & Cuddle Mats for all boarding dogs.
- Kohler Back-Up Generator in case of power outages
- Smoke/Fire alarms in all spaces
- Healthy Pet Warranty offered free to all boarding clients (see FAQ's for details)
- Mid-day & evening healthy dog treats (always included)
- FREE exit baths for all boarding dogs staying 3 or more nights.
- One price includes everything you could want for your dog.
- Lots of free hugs, cuddles, belly rubs, and of course, love.
Cold weather is here! Where do dogs go when it cold?
Tanner's is ready for winter! Our indoor play areas are all heated & ready for dog play during freezing temperatures, snow & icy rain fall. On mild winter days, dogs will play inside and outside. On those frosty winter days, dogs will play inside, with 10-15 minute potty breaks outside per hour.

Yes, there is a Tanner!
Meet Tanner! Tanner was a beautiful Golden Retriever owned by Tracey Manne, who sadly passed away in 2012 from lymphoma. At that point, Tracey decided to walk away from corporate life & dedicate her career to the loving care and safety of dogs. It's only appropriate that our first facility is named for this beautiful inspirational creature. God bless you Tanner! Gone but never forgotten!
