House Of Canine
One bark away from a good day!
“Unleash the fun and adventure, while we take care of your furry friend. Your dog’s home away from home.”
About
Welcome to House of Canine! Founded by Michaela Trykarova in 2020, we offer a small-scale, in-home boarding that provides safe, fun, and comfortable environment for your pets to stay in when you can’t be there.
Our Founder
Born and raised in Czech Republic, Michaela has always had a profound love for animals and their well-being.
This all started with her passion for horses and interest in animal psychology. Her dream was to work for the Mounted police, but her father who worked in the local police force and had those connections was against it as it seemed too dangerous. Little did he realized, that she was going to shift her focus on the K9 working units instead! So it’s to nobody’s surprise, that she has fallen in love with working line dogs at a young age.
Later in life as she slowly broadened her horizons and gained more experience, she landed a job at a local dog daycare, that concetrated on more complex canine behaviours. That’s when she found herself more and more interested in taking training into consideration, and as her passion and experience grew boarding just seemed like the next step, that made sense.
All of that eventually led her to establish House of Canine, where she concentrates on delivering not only the highest standard of care, but also home away from home.
She truly believes, that every dog deserves love but also a structure from where they can thrive, but also a safe place to explore, play and relax.

Services
Boarding
- Choose quality over quantity with our home-based boarding service. Our limited capacity is not a constraint, but a commitment to ensure that each dog receives personalized attention and care. This approach allows us to focus on each dog's unique needs, integrate them into our daily activities, and offer a range of outdoor engagements. It's about providing a comprehensive, rewarding experience for your pet while you're away.
- Cage Free
- 2-3 Dogs Maximum at the time
- Outdoor activities
Dog Training
- Do you need help to strengthen the bond between you and your dog? You came to the right place! In my training I focus on clear communication, where we can break things down to the basics and start shaping behaviors into where we want them to be. We will work on building your dog's confidence to help them make healthy choices not only for themselves but also their surroundings.
- I try to consider variety of factors when it comes to training, including their age, mental development, energy level, but also their specific breed, which will help us to achieve the best results along the way. Every dog is an unique individual and not all cookie cutter methods work for all. Let's make sure we start right. It’s all about creating a happy, confident, and well-behaved dog.
- One on One
- Personalized
Nail Trimming
- In need of a nail trim for your furry friend? Is the local groomer booking weeks out? You tried at home but feel too intimidated or not sure how to go about it? Let me take care of it for you.

FAQ
I only take a small number of vetted dogs in at a time. That way I can make sure all of their needs (mental, physical and emotional) are being met. I believe small home based boarding is much healthier for majority of the dogs in order to lower their stress levels but also making them more comfortable when being separated from their owners. 🙂
