No fun being had here. None at all.

Who are we kidding?!

It's a happy day at Kasten's Dog Training.

These pictures courtesy of daycare staff and all the pups!

Daycare takes place Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, $34/day or save with packages.

~ 5-Day Pass $165 = $33/day
~ 10-Day Pass $315 = $31.50/day
~ 20-Day Pass $590 = $29.50/day

When you bring your dog to daycare, LESS is best. Dog, collar, leash is really all we need. Maybe one Nylabone type toy for rest breaks in the kennel. In order to keep daycare costs at a minimum, we do not plan feeding during daycare hours unless your dog must be fed for medical reasons. Plan breakfast and supper at home.

This is Kipp's first adventure boarding with Kasten's Dog Training. He had no idea how much fun was in store for him!

This week we have 2 puppies in All-Star programs, dogs in our most popular Optimal Obedience Program, several dogs upgrading to Peak Performance Program 3, and daycare dogs coming and going.

With the sunny weather we have appreciated the opportunity to do extra cleaning outside and spend more times with the dogs outdoors.

Hope to see you soon!

Oh. My. Goodness.
The CUTEness.

Ok. Which one of us isn't thinking, how did she get all three of these puppies to sit still long enough to catch this photo?

We suspect that our kennel care supervisor, Victoria, is either a magician on the side or a puppy whisperer.

In order:
Cooper, Puppy Preschool, Doggie Daycare, on target to graduate Program 2, Optimal Obedience, in April

Another great day in Doggie Daycare!

A trained dog, a mentally stimulated dog, a tired dog is a happy dog.

On a separate note, we are gearing up for a busy spring break and summer travel. Try to think through your camping and summer travel and get your reservations on the books!

Potty training.

This is a common topic of conversation with owners.

The foundation of the process? Freedom to independently roam the house comes only with pottying outside. Otherwise, puppy is supervised at all times or in his crate. The most common mistake? Too much freedom, too soon.

The potty training process requires owner time and intentionality. Puppy's freedom comes gradually and progressively. Do not correct puppy for pottying in the house if you did not catch him in the act.
If you are getting a puppy, both Puppy Preschool and our Puppy All-Star program can help you with the process of house breaking if needed. https://kastensdogtraining.com/training-programs/puppy-training-programs/

It's time for Friday's FAQ:

Does my dog have to be spayed or neutered in order to board or train at Kasten's?

It is preferred that your dog be spayed or neutered before any training or boarding session; however, it is not a requirement. Female dogs in heat will not be allowed at Kasten’s Dog Training for training or boarding until their cycle is complete. Should a female go into heat during a boarding stay they will be quarantined and the owner will incur additional charges due to extra cleaning, extra supplies, and additional effort involved with our staff. If a female training dog goes into heat during their training program, their training will be postponed then resumed once their cycle is complete.

It's "ruff" being a puppy. Playing this hard is exhausting.

Family Bred goldendoodle puppy, Lucky in our puppy All-Star program and French Bulldog Arlo (Daycare aficionado) have been making it a great day whether exploring the snow or romping in the playroom.

Newfoundland, Reggie, is in his element!
Tucker is a little more like Sam I Am, who doesn't like green eggs and ham.
"I do not like white snow and cold. Not in the morning, not at noon, not in the yard, not on my fur.
I do not like white snow and cold. I do not like it anywhere." ~ Tucker

Hold on, Tucker! Spring is comin'!

And that reminds us that March 8th and Pet CPR and First Aid Certification class is just around the corner.

Customer quote of the day: "I asked AI."

When a new prospective customer called today, I asked, "So, how did you hear about us?"

Now I'm older than the fax machine, and he sounded older than me. But here we are trying to keep up with the times. He said, "I asked AI."

Dear, AI. You are brilliant.
Of course, the answer to the dog training question was Kasten's Dog Training!

Make it a great week and stay warm!
