Lyndonville VT Dog Daycare, Overnight Boarding,
Grooming, Training and Agility Classes

About The Kingdom Canine Center in Lyndonville, VT


Deanna started working with dogs in 2000. She volunteered at a kennel in Duram, NH and after a few months was hired on to learn the art of grooming,  and take care of the boarding and daycare dogs. After a year and half, she opened her own facility in Dover, NH offering grooming, dog daycare and training/agility.  "A little black dog" in Dover was one the first in the area to offer "free roaming" or cage free dog daycare. Dogs truly got to play, and rest whenever they wanted.  Several more facilities opened up with the same concept after hers took off. Watching 15-20 dogs interact for 5 years is an incredible experience.  It has helped her learn how to read dog behavior so well, which helps with all aspects of the business. Deanna moved to Vermont in 2005 and worked at a veterinarian for 2 1/2 years before missing being on her own. She decided to open a grooming shop in downtown Lyndonville, VT. Then in 2013 Deanna purchased the new location on Lynburke Rd in Lyndonville, VT and added dog boarding, and a beautiful agility field.

Deanna Baker

My name is Deanna Baker and I have been grooming for over 20 years. I am still very passionate about my career. My grooming method is gentle and I take pride in how detailed I am, presenting a beautifully groomed pet. 
I currently have 4 pets. Sori (the one to my right and the face of KCC) you will often see her behind the counter or roaming around the shop. Isabel (the one in my lap, my agility star) she loves people but she gets a bit grumpy toward other dogs, but we still love her. :) Todd, a long haired orange cat who was rescued from a dumpster and I nurtured back to health,  He was a special needs boy with a very special place in my heart.  Henry, an orange tabby who I fostered and just couldn't let go. And last but not least my Monkey, a Calico color, she was also a foster cat who reminded me, in personality, of a very special cat I had who passed.  

"Todd" passed away October 19, 2015 at age 5 due to several health issues. It has been very difficult. People tell me he was lucky to have me, but I believe I was the lucky one!

UPDATE:  My family now consist of Pippin (my heart dog)  He is a border collie mix rescued from a very nice family who just struggled with his behavior issues.  He is my boy.  We have an incredible bond and he amazes me every day.  I still have my orange cat Henry whom you may see wandering around outside.  He has no fear of dogs!  And my Monkey the calico who LOVES to be outside and do life on her own terms!
