Boarding and Training at Hand-in-Paw Kennels
Boarding
Our boarding kennel is a small addition to the training building keeping it cozy and more like  home. We only have 10 runs. It features radiant heating (and a pellet stove for extra heat) and rubber mats in each kennel. It is very pleasant with large windows for sunlight and ventilation. Each kennel consists of a 4' x 6' indoor area with an attached 4' x 12' covered run. Dogs have access to runs and the outdoors all day. Each run opens into a large fenced yard for extra exercise. We also have a very large fenced field to play in! Outside runs are enclosed in the winter with clear plastic panels for winter time comfort. Boarding is limited to non aggressive dogs. Dogs have music all day and a bedtime cookie.
We were recently voted one of the areas best kennels in the Addison Eagle poll!
Our boarders have given us a 5 BONE rating!
Training
Dog training is an excellent way to turn a good dog into an even better one. Hand-in-Paw offers training in Obedience, Agility, and Freestyle at all levels of skill. Stop in for a demonstration.
