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, Suzanne & Tracey, 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, no corporate rhetoric, everything included, customized care, no bait-and-switch, just 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.
- Dogs don't "rotate" into the yard. They are always playing!
- 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 in kennel.
- 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
- 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.

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!
