My dog needs obedience training in Windermere. How can Shannonbrook Boarding Kennels help?

Does your pup need an education? Shannonbrook also provides obedience and agility training services.

Owner Kathy Reid takes a caring approach that can help your furry friend learn some new tricks and better manners.

There are several solid reasons to invest in dog training:

• Teaching them basic skills, such as to come when called or “leave it,” can keep a puppy or adult dog safe from hazardous situations
• Learning appropriate dog-to-dog or dog-to-human socialization can eliminate anxiety or defensive behaviour issues in later years
• A calm, well-behaved dog can be taken to more public places without worry
• Curbing things like barking and destructive behaviour can save you a damage deposit or home repair cost, and keep landlords and neighbours from complaining
• Agility training is mentally stimulating and enriching for your dog to learn. They have fun doing it, and it wears them out in a good way
• Training at a kennel can teach dogs that being away from home (and their owners) is not the end of the world. It’s a great way to overcome separation anxiety
• Training can give puppies or dogs some much-needed confidence—this also goes for their guardians!

I am leaving my pet at a kennel for the first time. What should I look for in a good dog daycare?

At Shannonbrook Boarding Kennels, we make sure all our dog daycare guests feel comfortable and safe. These are some of the things you should look for in any kennel you consider:

• Kennels should always be clean, and the facility should not have an unpleasant smell
• Always ask about the experience and/or credentials of the people looking after your pets
• Insurance is essential. Make sure the kennel has an appropriate policy in place and that you will be taken care of if there are any problems related to your pet’s care
• Make sure the kennel has a preferred vet who they can and will contact in the event of an emergency in your absence
• Ask about their pet vaccination policy. A quality facility will require all pets boarded there to be fully up-to-date on their shots
• Inquire about exercise as all dogs should be taken on daily walks
• Look at the kennels yourself to determine if they are large enough for your dog
