Dogs Vangroovin' was built upon the fundamental belief that dogs enrich our liv

es and, in turn, they deserve - and need - to have rich lives too.  Dogs need a chance to be dogs - to run freely, stret

ch their legs, strengthen their hearts, and socialize with fellow canines. These are vital factors for a well-behaved, 

well-rounded, healthy dog.  

Members of the groovy pack get out of the city to run on a private acreage.  Here they can express their inner dog while socializing in a safe, contained area with a large buffer zone.  Dogs also reap the benefits of having a consistent pack of playmates, giving them the tools to socialize with confidence.  

Dogs Vangroovin' was first established in Vancouver, BC, in 2001 by Kristen Kadis.  The impetus for starting Dogs Vangroovin' was as a means of balancing the rigors of university with a healthy lifestyle for both herself
and her own dogs.  Serendipidously, through this endeavor, Kristen discovered her passion.   

One year later, Kristen moved her company to Kingston, Ontario when she enrolled at Queen's University.  Upon graduation she decided to remain in Kingston and build Dogs Vangroovin' into a full-time venture.  As a nominee for the Young Entrepreneur of the year for 2008, it seems that Kristen is on the right track.

Kristen started Dogs Vangroovin' with $30, a little yellow Volkswagon Beetle and training in basic dog obedience.  Ten years later, with hands-on field experience to augment her resume, Kristen has become the leader in canine group relations.  She is often sought out for her ability to work with challenging dogs, and for her desire to bring harmony to all human-dog relationships. 

Kristen has always been passionate about animals.  She will stop traffic to save an injured duck, or to escort a turtle across a busy road.  When she visits family the animals are always in tow, the entourage being an expected, rambunctious intrusion to any family function.  Her enthusiastic passion can be felt in the culture she has created with Dogs Vangroovin'.   Call today and become a part of the adventure!  

We look forward to meeting you and your best friend soon!
