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! |
