About Zen Canine Club

Structured care and training in Miami Lakes

Zen Canine Club is a dog daycare, boarding, grooming and training facility at 15512 NW 77th Ct, Suite #410, in Miami Lakes. Owners Katherine and José Del Pino built it around small, highly managed groups of 8 to 10 dogs, temperament-based playgroups, calming music and aromatherapy, weekly sound baths and fear-free handling. Katherine brings a background in training and behavior.

Training

Training uses a balanced approach of guidance, structure, rewards and accountability, focused on clear communication, consistent expectations, engagement, an off-switch and real-world stability. It starts with a 30-minute one-on-one consultation. Private training at the club or in-home comes in packages of 4 sessions for $580, 6 for $870 and 8 for $1,160, with a travel fee for in-home sessions beyond 5 miles. Zen Canine Academy builds training into the daycare day over four weeks, and the Stay & Train boarding school runs a 3-week foundations program or a 5-week behavior reset. Behavior modification for anxiety and reactivity and service dog guidance are also offered.

Care and rates

Boarding suites run $45 a night for dogs under 25 lbs, $75 for larger dogs and $95 for a premium open-air suite. Fear Free certified groomers handle grooming. Hours are Monday to Friday 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM; call (786) 536-6322.
