Antler Trails Kennel Up
Carlton County's Exclusive Dog Boarding Resort
Meet the Camp Counselors
Does your dog give you that look, you know the one, the look that says you're
the only one in this world that matters and as long as you're together,
everything is right with the world.  We understand this special bond.  That's
why we started ATKU.  Rick and I designed our kennel and it's services based
upon how we would like our "precious pups" to be taken care of.  That's why
we're a very small kennel, our top priority is the well-being of your family
member.  We want your buddy to be comfortable, safe, and feel like they are
staying with an extended family member.  To many of our campers,
I'm known as Auntie Donna.  Please take a
moment and read more about the people
who will be caring for your "best buddy".
