I have been taking my dogs to Will and Andrea for the last five years. They have always been so warm and communitive with our pets. Now we have a dog who has some anxiety issues and have had to take it a step further. I was a basket case because I had no where to turn. Well, Will, is calm and positive and a great trainer!! I can't say more positive attributes to these two! Thank you so much!!

We dropped our two high energy dogs off at Columbia Mountain Kennels for daycare while we were out mountain biking at Whitefish Ski Resort. Our girls had a great time! My wife called mid day to check on them and they said all positive things. They even had a shallow pool for them to swim in too cool off. They were exhausted when we picked them up! I would highly recommend Columbia Mountain Kennels! We can't thank them enough for taking such great care of our pups and at a great price!

I can't say enough great things about Columbia Mountain Kennels, and the owners, Andrea and Will are wonderful! My dogs are my kids, and I never have to worry about them when they are at CMK, they come home tired from a day of playing with other dogs. Both Will and Andrea have extensive knowledge about dogs and dog behavior and truly seem to enjoy what they do. We are so thankful to have these guys!

We credit our dog's great socialization skills to Columbia Mountain Kennels! We started taking our American Bulldog puppy, Daisy, to doggy day care as soon as she was old enough and we're so glad we did. They're great about pairing appropriate dogs with each other for play time and Daisy is always worn out when we pick her up!

Will and Andrea are awesome. We have been bringing our large Pyrenees rescue for weekly day care and boarding a few times a year and he always leaves exhausted.In the past had some bad experiences with other facilities in the valley so very pleased we have found CMK!

Absolutely love CMK!!! We have taken our dog here for boarding as well as daycare a handful of times now and I feel so good about leaving him here. Will and Andrea are simply the best and you can tell how much they not only care for dogs but also understand dogs. When you walk in the door the facility is immediately different than other kennels in the area - it’s bright and clean and doesn’t smell bad. I also love that they truly focus on the best experience for your dogs. Your dog will play all day long here and come home incredibly happy!

We were in town for a visit to Glacier National Park and needed to place our 85 pound puppy into daycare for 3 days so that we could walk the trails (dogs are not allowed). This is undoubtedly the best dog daycare that we have ever used. Our pup outwardly loved being dropped off in the morning and by pickup time he moved around as if he was a permanent resident. Wholeheartedly recommend.

We visited Glacier National Park for 5 days the beginning of September. We were traveling with our 15 month old beagle mix, and decided to check out doggie daycare for him, since we wanted to explore the park a little more in depth than we would be able to with a dog. Found good reviews for Columbia Mountain, contacted them and set up 2 "play" dates for Barney. So glad we did. He had a wonderful time, tired him out playing! It was a nice vacation for him! Andrea was wonderful, she really understands the dogs and made us comfortable leaving our pup with her. Highly recommend.

We booked 2 full day reservations for our four year old golden retriever so that we could spend time enjoying GNP and I am beyond happy we did. Calvin (our pup) we could tell had a blast because he was exhausted when we picked him up after the first day and was sooo excited when we pulled in the second day. The owners were beyond friendly and put us at such an ease leaving Calvin somewhere we had never been before. We did make our reservations a few weeks in advance- which I would recommend as they said their spots call fill up quickly! Enjoy the park while your dog enjoys some fun as well.

My husband and I have had our trip planned for a few months and in a last minute turn of events, our dog sitter fell through. So, we decided to bring him with us. For a dog-free day, we apprehensively decided to put our dog (who has some anxiety issues) into a kennel so we could take a day at Glacier NP. From the moment I spoke with the woman on the phone to dropping him off and picking him up, we had the absolute best experience. Everyone was so nice, understanding of our dog’s somewhat special needs, and really informative. They made me feel at ease by telling us we could call if we felt the need throughout the day, but that no news was good news. And when we picked up our dog, they had a great play-by-play of the day to share with us, as well as recommendations to keep our pup busy and entertained through the winter. I would highly recommend this kennel, especially to anyone who has dogs that may not typically love the doggie day care/kennel experience. Our pup was pooped!

I have taken my dogs to many kennels over the years, but once I found Columbia Mountain Kennels, I'll never go anywhere else. They are so great to work with and they really really care about your pets. I've taken my dogs here for anywhere from two week vacations to weekly daycare and my dogs LOVE it. Very reasonably priced as well!

Our dog spent four days and one night at the kennels while visited the National Park. Andrea and Will are very kind people who understand your dog. They go out of their way to be helpful and Mia loved going to see her friends. It was so nice to have somewhere for Mia to spend most of the day outside playing with other dogs. Highly recommend!

Our pup has been going to doggie daycare multiple times a week plus occasional overnight stays for the past 6 months, and he absolutely loves Will, Andrea, and the CMK facilities, as do we! Topaz has become a much more confident and happy puppy thanks to Will and Andrea's excellent care. Will and Andrea recently opened their new facility and it's absolutely fantastic. The play yards are massive and the entire CMK operation is clearly conducted with genuine love for the guests in their care. Will also conducts weekly trainings, which Topaz and I have really enjoyed. We are so lucky to have found this amazing facility! Your dogs will love it too, and it doesn't get any more convenient to Glacier!

Our puppy had a great time at Columbia Mountain Kennels. He was offered plenty of play time and interaction as well as some quiet time to recooperate. We could tell that the owners were very educated about dogs and their social and psychological needs. They took the time to answer all our questions at the beginning of the day, and they updated us on how well he did upon our return. Our dog interacted very well with owners, even better than he does with us. Will and Andrea truly love and care about the dogs in their care. We are happy to know we have a great place to leave our little buddy for the day or for the week.

We left our pups here for 5 days! The facility is super clean and they dogs outside look like they’re having a blast. We ended up messing up our pickup time and the owner was super understanding and kind about it. Sorry again and thank you!!

Excellent first and favorite experience at a kennel! The owners did an excellent job of establishing rapport with us and our puppy. Their knowledge and compassion are incredible! We knew our dog would truly be cared for while we were away. If you are local or visiting the Glacier area, this is the place for your dog!

We were traveling across the country and had to rely on other reviews to decide where to board our two dogs while we went to Glacier National Park for the day. The dogs had a great time during the day, and we could tell when we finally picked them up (12 hours later!) that they really liked the owners (and they don't warm up to people fast). Also, the owners are incredibly nice - our GPS lost a signal in the park (in hindsight, not a surprise) and we got lost, meaning that not only were we late to pick up our dogs, we even arrived after closing (on a holiday no less...!). When we called the owners to let them know what happened (when our phone finally got a signal again) they were incredibly understanding and assured us there was no need to rush. I would highly recommend this kennel if you're in the area or looking to board your pets while you're at Glacier.

We took our two dogs for daycare while we went to Glacier National Park, they absolutely loved it! The staff was great, our boxer is a slow moving kind of grumpy old man while our pittie is younger and has more energy. They were able to have both their needs met, yet stay together (our pittie doesn't like to leave our boxer).

I am a total worrier when it comes to my dog, so much so that I barely trust friends to house sit when we leave town. After dog sitting plans fell through last minute with a backpacking trip to Glacier planned, I called CMK and nervously dropped our girl off the next day. She came back to us very tired and in excellent condition. They seem to genuinely love dogs here which was reassuring to an overly worried dog owner like me. The place was very busy and obviously popular. I thought $20/night was a steal compared to prices elsewhere in towns. Would use them again if I needed boarding in the Glacier area.

Amazing staff, day care, and all around business close to Glacier. They took my dog last minute (graciously) and we're great hosts the rest of our time at the park. You can tell they care about the animals and love what they're doing. And yes thank you for reccomendation to get a huckleberry bear clear at Polebirdge Merc. Delicious!

I’ve been taking my dog here for a few years now. He’s probably spent 3-4 months at this Kalispell area kennel.We all know dogs are smart. You take your dog to the vet and they have their tail between their legs and are scared. I take my dog to this kennel and he’s excited every single time - very eager to jump out of my car and run towards the kennel. As if I’m a completely inadequate owner!This to me speaks volumes to his happiness while there. In fact, at times I feel bad picking him up and taking him home away from the fun and excitement of the Columbia Mountain Kennels.The owners are amazing, kind, and genuinely care about the animals. I have 100% confidence that when I leave town and need someone to care for my dog in the Kalispell area, this kennel is best suited for the job and is always my first choice.

Our dog was in great hands when we went off to enjoy Glacier. A big thank-you to Will & Andrea for the military discount. That gesture is so greatly appreciated. Our dog was pooped from a day of fun in the water and slept as soon as we got home. Highly recommend!

Went to check it out before taking my dogs. The owner has such a chill vibe. No wonder the dogs are so calm. Smells clean but not like bleach or antiseptic. Can't wait to take my dogs there!

We dropped off our beagle, Lucy, to Andrea for the day while on a hiking trip to Glacier National Park. Andrea was so incredibly accommodating and great with the dogs. Her set-up is in her home, which makes you know how your animal will be treated while you're gone. Lucy is a very active beagle and we worry that she's too much of a handful sometimes, but when we picked her up Andrea thanked us for letting her have her for the day! She slept like a rock for the rest of the evening! I would highly recommend Columbia Mountain Kennels and Andrea to anyone looking for Dog Day Care or boarding services. I only wish she was in Michigan so we could use her all the time!

Columbia Mountain Kennels is very close to GNP and the perfect place for your dogs to stay while you hit the trails. The people are great. So thankful for the care our dogs received.

This place is so GREAT! We have been boarding our GSP there for over a year now. We took him all over the valley for boarding before we found this place. Will and Andrea are extremely nice and courteous. Great people! Also, Gauge (our dog) loves them. This is the only place he has ever been excited when he shows up. They let him outside to socialize with other dogs and don't keep him locked up all day. I believe he loves to be there. I will take my dog here as long as I live in the valley. These guys are incredible! Thanks for taking such good care of my pooch. You have my business for life.

We left our dog with the kind folks at Columbia Mountain Kennels for a day while we did a whitewater rafting trip. We had a great vibe from the owners and our dog was worn out and happy when we picked him up - perfect! We would definitely use them again if we were in the West Glacier area.

Owner is very nice. Took our two large dogs, they were put outside until someone came to pick up, to make room for our dogs, very crowded with too many dogs. I'm thinking it was just a very busy day but wasn't convinced. Owner was very lenient and let us pick our dogs back up early with no charge. We just weren't comfortable leaving them there.

We love CMK and so does our dog!! The owners are always super friendly on the phone and in person. When we go to Glacier for the day this our first stop and at the end of the day our pup is pooped and still doesn't want to leave. Doggie Disney!!

I dropped my fit baby off and when I picked him up he was a happy dog. He had a great time. I miss him a lot but I didn't worry about him at all. The owners are good people and very knowledgeable about dogs. I appreciated the worry free break :-)
