Willow Branch - Cisco

08/15/2024

We are growing again, and with growth comes change.

Starting in September, Heidi will be grooming at our Monticello location to help keep up with the growing demand. We will still be offering baths at Cisco, but until we get another groomer trained, grooming will only be offered in Monticello. Thanks for you understanding.

Most important is we will be transitioning our grooming booking system to a dedicated grooming platform. This will allow our grooming customers the ability to book appointments online! Our current software is good for boarding, but not so great for grooming and groomers.

Finally, we will be opening a grooming entrance at the rear of our Willow Branch - Monticello location. This entrance will be clearly marked and will be communicated with our customers prior to the appointment.

Thank you for growing with us. Our motto has always been providing the best for your pet and the best service for our pet parents.

Check out what our super cool trainer Jenna has going on.

Reminder that our online self paced tricks class starts this Monday! Contact us this weekend to get signed up! The class will take place here on Facebook in a private group, which also creates a fun community of people working with their dogs! Weekly video lessons, and opportunities to upload your own videos for feedback from your trainer! AKC Novice TrickDog title evaluation included. Send us a message here on Facebook to sign up, or contact Jenna at 217-675-7547! Don't miss this opportunity to participate in a training class from the comfort of your own home, and at a lower price than in person classes! This is a GREAT opportunity for reactive and aggressive dogs to participate in a training class community without having to encounter other dogs or people!!

Thanks!

We love being a family business! Everyone was helping out from Jim and Sandy at the kennel, to the kids helping move the boys from Willow Branch - Monticello, to all the staff we view as family.

Come have fun with us!

Interested in doing more with your dog, but not sure where to start? Not sure what your dog would be GREAT at? This summer we will be offering a 5 week dog sport sampler so you don't have to commit before trying something! All of these sports are fun and do not require you to be a master dog trainer to start! Classes will be easy, fun and lighthearted! Come join us for some summer fun!
Sign up at www.willowbranchkennel.com or if you have any questions call/text Jenna at 217-675-7547!
If any trainers are out there and interested in guest teaching one of these weeks as a seminar in future renditions of this class, feel free to reach out as well! (ex. nosework, tracking, dock, FASTCAT, Utility, flyball, parkour)
