Stay & play

Extended Boarding Adventures

LAPS Doghouse Boarding Program

As a small kennel, the Doghouse program participants are able to provide more exercise time and more one-on-one interaction with the animals. Dogs are free to romp and play in fenced areas, hang out with staff, play ball or explore the country smells. This program also provides an option 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 environment during their stay.

Criteria for Using the Doghouse Program

In order for dogs to participate in the program at the Fraser Valley Institution they must be:

  • Great meeting strangers (off property, think uniformed officers)
  • Tolerant around dogs, no history of aggression. While they do not need to go out with other dogs they cannot pose a danger through the fence or walking past other dogs
  • Current on all vaccinations; DA2PPV, Bordetella and Rabies. I also recommend regular deworming and flea prevention
  • Spayed or neutered by 12 months of age (and not in season)
  • Medically and behaviourally healthy.
  • Comfortable in a kennel setting. Severe anxieties will need behaviour assessment, Veterinary intervention and a gradual entry process.

Next Steps If Your Dog Meet These Criteria

In our Adult Manners classes, we focus on refining your dog’s behavior and building a stronger bond:

  • Schedule a facility tour with the instructor to view where your dogs will stay. During the tour, the instructor will assess how your dog copes with the institution environment and being around the kennel, with you present.
  • Tours are offered 3 days a week Wednesday to Friday at 10, 11, 1:30, 2:30 or 3:30 depending on scheduling.
  • Paperwork is completed at the time of the tour. All the rules of using the program are addressed at that time.
  • Payments are made in advance of use of service by:
  • Etransfer: etransfer@lapsbc.ca
  • Call LAPS with a credit card number
