I had come to "Club Canine" for training with my malamutes, referred by a friend who had worked with
Isabelle years ago. I was having issues with pulling on leash and disobedience. Upon arrival I was completely
convinced that Isabelle was the one who would be able to help me, as when I arrived I watched her put this big
rottweiler (Kruize) into a down and walk over to me.........and he stayed there! I was amazed! With Isabelle’s’
training and instructions that day we had my Mals pulling under control and some obedience tips to boot. After
the training session Isabelle explained a lot of what she did down at her kennel including boarding (Doggie
Camp I should say) pet food and supplies. We switched my Mals over from their current food to Acana and they
couldn't be happier! The food is great for their coats, their energy level and their over all health.
As for Doggie Camp ......... THEY LOVE IT and Isabelle! I've had only 2 other "kennelling" experiences which
were not bad but they were also not good. I know that Nightdrifter is the right place for me to leave my dogs
and not worry. Why you ask? Because every time I drive over that grated bridge towards Isabelle’s' they get so
excited and happy. They absolutely love it there with her and her crew! They are well taken care of and I leave
them there without a care in the world.... except wondering if they really do want to come home at the end of
their stay :)

Picking up a "Club Canine by Nightdrifter" business card in a local store was the best thing that
happened for Fiver and us! Fiver is our 5th black Labrador...our retirement dog. So naturally
with our interest in traveling, we needed a great "home" for when we are away. We found
Isabelle and Jason and their kennel. Fiver went to "doggie camp" for a month in April to
May, 2010 and from what we could tell he loved it. Isabelle responded to our email while we
were in Europe. Fiver has lots of energy, but with the morning free walks and the fenced in
playground, he was in heaven! He was a part of all the dog activities and was happily tired!
When we picked him up after the month, his coat was shiny and clean and even his bedding
was washed. We have switched to the dog food product, Acana Pacifica, which they sell and
are pleased.
Isabelle, has been very helpful with some training issues we have had-made suggestions and
even lent us some equipment to try. This is our new kennel and we would recommend it
highly!

Tyler and I were very skeptical about leaving Chickie for our first vacation away. "Club Canine" was
recommended very highly to us and we were not disappointed one bit, but completely blown away! The
facilities are incredible, secure, and clean. We receive some of the best customer service from Isabelle and
Jason that we have ever had. Isabelle even invited us to join the pack for one of their many daily walks to
see what was in store for Chickie. We were able to leave without a doubt in our minds that "Club Canine"
is THE BEST place for our dog to be. There is no question that Chickie receives more individual love,
attention, exercise and play than she has at any other kennel and after comparing with other boarding
kennels, we know that Isabelle has the highest standard of care we have ever seen. When we pick Chickie
up after a weekend with Isabelle, she is the happiest dog in the world and it makes us feel amazing as
owners that we made the best choice for our dog.
Aside from just offering an incredible service to our dog, Isabelle offers us helpful advice with careful
instruction so we feel confident we can take her training tips into our daily life. She offers great products
and prices in her pet supply store and is only interested in selling us products that will be beneficial for
our dog as an individual. We trust Isabelle`s advice 100% because we know that she cares about our dog
having the best life possible.
We truly cannot say enough good things about Isabelle and "Club Canine".
The service to us, the service to our dog and playtime she receives is not matched anywhere. We cannot
place a value on the peace of mind we have when Chickie is at "Club Canine".
Many, many thanks,
Julie McManaman, Tyler Goodwin and Chickie.

Bailey and I first met Isabelle about five years ago when we went to some of her obedience
classes, she was very knowledgeable and caring of dogs so when I was trying to decide which
kennel to take Bailey and Hunter to I knew that I would feel very comfortable and confident to
leave them with Isabelle. Bailey needs a little more time spent with him than Hunter because he
stresses when he is away from me and Isabelle makes sure that he is happy when he is there, so
I can relax too when I am away knowing that both Bailey and Hunter are having a good time.
They are very tired and well exercised when I pick them up and usually nap as soon as we get
home. When I go on vacation the dogs are on their own vacation too at doggie camp!!!

Dear Isabelle and Jason;
I can not express how happy I am with the services you provide at the kennel. You and your
family go above and beyond to care for other people animals. I know Queenie is looked
after better than a lot of people look after their kids.
I’m very particular when it comes to my pets as I love them with all my heart and I know
there’s some big hearts at "Club Canine" looking after my pet.

"Club Canine" has just been a great experience. It started with a problem we had been having
with our 11 month old lab Ebony she was the fussiest eater imaginable we had tried many
kinds of food nothing was working until a trip to visit Isabelle with her helpful advice and a
bag of ACANA dog food we were amazed problem resolved. So when planning a trip to visit
grandchildren in Ontario there was no question Ebony was going to Doggie Camp with
Isabelle & Jason and it was the right choice we had a wonderful vacation and Ebony looked
great from her vacation when we picked her up.

We have left our 3 fur babies in the hands of an excellent "dog whisperer". We have 2
Parson Russell terriers and a Golden retriever. We had some puppy aggression with
Nola when we had her for the first few weeks. We remembered what a good teacher
Isabelle was from our first experience together owning a dog. Within a couple days of
some hard work and some homework we managed to train our puppy with simple
instructions from Isabelle. Nola is now a delightful puppy. The dogs all enjoyed the
first week together at the Hoegs' Club Canine and will be returning for another week
very soon. We have also introduced them to a very delightful dog food and have them
literally eating out of our hands. The ACANA is a great investment and our dogs LOVE
IT! We recommend trying it for your dogs or cats.

My testimony to Club Canine...
I cannot begin to say enough about my experience with "Club Canine", Isabelle and her
family. Isabelle is truly amazing. My Alaskan Malamute was not a particularly social dog
and very rarely accepted the attention of new people in his life. I was stressed over
having to be away from him, as well as being able to find the right accommodations as I
had to work away for several weeks. I asked a friend who breeds dogs if she had any
recommendations and without hesitation she told me about Night Drifter Kennels.
Machias and I drove out for a visit and instantly I knew it would be the right place for
him. He took to Isabelle immediately, which was very rare for him. After his first stay
at Club Canine by Nightdrifter, I noticed a marked difference in how Machias reacted
around new people. His exposure with Isabelle and the wonderful people she has working
with her was truly positive for my Mal. He was not stressed over his extended stay, in
fact when we went back for his second stay, he became quite excited the closer we got,
and was actually happy when we arrived. I don't feel as though I am "boarding" Machias
out, I feel as though I am leaving him with extended family where he is loved and cared
for as if he were home.
Not only am I impressed with the quality of care and attention Machias receives when
with Isabelle, but also the beneficial care to his health that comes with the great meals
Machias receives while in her care. Isabelle's knowledge and confidence in the product
she recommends, as well as seeing the effects in Machias's health, trim and fit and
beautiful soft and shiny coat, made the choice easy to switch over his food at home to
"Acana". The product is amazing and Machias loves it!
Now when I have to be away for extended periods of time.. there may be other stress
factors involved, but worrying about Machias is Definitely NOT one of them.... for that I
am very grateful to Isabelle and her Family. I know he loves her and more importantly,
she loves him right back! There is no doubt in my mind that "Club Canine" is built on High
Standards and Great Pride, and is the best place for Machias.
Much Thanks To Isabelle and her Family,
Diann MacKay & Machias Moon
