Your Concern: "I don't like the idea of my pet being in a "cage" for such a long period of time, and only getting out once or twice a day."
Unlike cages at other facilities, our kennel runs provide plenty of room for you pet. Each boarder has their own personal indoor and outdoor space with open access to their outdoor run eight hours a day.
If that room and independence is not enough, Law's Country Kennel also provides "Yard Play" and "Nature Walks". Either of these are bound to produce the feeling of freedom for you pet. "Yard Play" allows each boarder a ten to fifteen minute release into our play area. It offers a chance for your pet to "make friends" with compatible pets, interact with our employees, and get some exercise.
Another option, "Nature Walks", consist of a 15 to 20 minute walk out away from the kennel and around our 3 acre lake. This option is a walk away from the facility, and has proven to be very beneficial for our boarders. Both of these options and the personal attention they provide help keep your pet free from the feeling of constraint.
Your Concern: "My pet is either fearful of other dogs or aggressive towards them. How do you address this?"
At home your pet may rarely be in contact with other dogs, and may feel intimidated when kenneling. Having their own indoor and outdoor kennel space not only keeps them comfortable, but helps prevent them from being in direct contact with others.
If you would like us to attempt some socialization time however, we do an excellent job. Introducing an introverted pet to groups of others can be a process. Attendants may have to personally interact with your pet before pairing him or her with either one pet or a small group of pets. Our attendants coordinate and closely monitor small groups of dogs that are similar in size, demeanor, and/or breed.
