But kennel cough is airbourne so even if the dogs do not mix or interact can it not still be passed around a boarding kennel.

:D This is the true story of a garage owner in the east of Northampton who gave his dog a haircut. He was sick and tired of thieves breaking into his garage shop to steal tools, etc. So he came up with this idea to give his dog a haircut. He put the word out that he had a new Mexican Lion that would attack anyone that tried to break in or climb his fence. Would-be thieves saw the "Lion" from a distance and fled the scene.

OMG, thanks for the replies. I have not been able to check until today and I did not expect that many replies. reading through it appears to be a mixed bunch some are happy other are not. I was just putting the question out there for a bit of market research as we are looking at opening Kennels. Some replies assumed I meant board the dogs with others, there is no way I would do this. I was trying to get an idea of what pet owners thought of the idea of SUPERVISED LIMITED play time with others of a similar nature in small groups after the dog had been assessed. Supervised means supervised not just left alone whilst staff sat and had a cup of tea. Sometimes people have no choice but to board their beloved pet, anything can happen, we had to fly back to UK for family emergency and had no choice, no family here to look after him and yes we have friends but I could not put on these people for 4 weeks and also we think what if he runs off from friends we would feel bad and so would they. The kennels I put him in were good, he was kenneled alone but had supervised play time with other like natured dogs, four was the max. There is any interesting boarding kennel on facebook Royvon Kennels. www.facebook.com/DogHotels/photos it is a boarding and training establishment and they put hundreds of photos on facebook, I must say I am not sure I would run this many dogs together but in some photos you see 2 staff and then there is the person with the camera, they appear to be always busy with boarders or training so they must have a good reputation. Anyway thank you everybody for all your replies (taken on board and digested) Ps sorry if I didnt do a link to facebook properly.

Hi all, I am just trying to find out thoughts and numbers and gauging opinions. If you were putting your dog into kennels would you like your dog to be able to socialise under strict supervision with other dogs of like nature during the day but obviously for fixed durations so that all the dogs get rest time. Do you think it would ease any separation anxiety the dog may feel.

We have some people come down from Toowoomba to train with us at the Agility Dog Club of Queensland on a Sunday afternoon/night. We are an ADAA club and don't focus on obedience, but we will certainly be able to help you stimulate your boy's mind! (I have 3 BC's - 2 almost 5 and one 12 months TODAY!) Let me know if you want more details. Can you tell me where the club is please

Nope package arrived about week late but send them an e mail

On the course at the moment, really good, bit daunting when the package arrives with all the dvds etc but it does start to make sense. You are lucky that the block weeks are held at kennels in Caloundra so you wont have far to go from Palmwoods.

Here is another one of Stan with his mate Lewis. Sorry about the multiple replies still trying to find out how to put more than one photo on one reply.....

One of Stan in fancy dress after is Puppy Graduation, he was tired out from all the play. (dressed as a Police Dog)

OPPS double upload

Here is one of Stan and Lewis the cat watching a Roo

Have you spoke to the owner and advised them, they may not be aware how bad their dogs are (tongue in Cheek) but they may not know their dogs can bite under or through the fence

Check out clark rubber and make it yourself with a bit of help from the sewing machine

Sorry dont know the answer but as I would like to do the same with my lawn , I thought I would bump it. Just a thought is there not an advice line phone number on the packaging.

I dont think the Australian Police would catch them, the Nigerian police stand more chance though
