August Newsletter

Activities
Effecitve June 28, Dublin Creek Kennels began offering enrichment activities for the boarding dogs and day stay dogs and what a success it has been!  When a dog is dropped off his owners may choose to sign him or her up for activities such as agility, playgroup with other dogs, ball and toy play, Find It which is a food searching game trick training, or even just some one on one time for a massage and petting.  The dogs are really benefiting from these extra activities!  Ask about them when you board your dog!

Kongs!
We now offer Stuffed Kongs to our boarding guests!  A kong is a hollow, rubber toy that we stuff with a dog food and peanut butter mixture and then freeze.   The dogs are given the kongs and then get to spend time working to get the food out.  This is very enriching for the dogs because it causes them to work and problem solve for their food which burns energy!

Renovations
In case you haven't noticed we are making some changes!!  You can't miss our beautiful new training and enrichment yard in front of the kennel, but that isn't all we have been up to!  Our kennel area has all new flooring and is being painted as well.  We are so happy with the new look and are exciting to continue making changes and upgrades!

Dog Training Classes
We are now hosting dog training classes being offered by Braveheart Dog Training.  We have already started offering classes here and will soon have our training class schedule up on the website.  For now, you can visit www.braveheartdogtraining.com to see the class schedule!
