After 4.5 years and hundreds of dogs here each year for training and boarding, it’s time to make some BIG changes. Boarding is picking up and with the need for more space, I am building a new, first class facility for dog training and remodeling the current facility to handle the boarding, exercise and care for dogs when they stay here with us.
The new training center will be 60 by 120 feet with 6400 square feet of fully matted (.5 inch rubber)
training space and 16 foot high ceilings. There will be a nice entrance lounge with a kitchenette as well as a rest room and storage. There will be a second floor to that space to serve as a private meeting area. The entire space with be heated and air conditioned with a ground source heat pump
(geothermal) system.
The boarding kennel with be equipped with an all new system designed by Mason Kennels
As of July 14th, the builders have started the new facility and have made great progress!
