Good morning everyone. As of this week we have had to make some changes to our daycare hours and class times, effective immediately and listed below-

-Daycare is CLOSED on FRIDAYS starting 12/8
-Small Dog daycare will be CLOSED on WEDNESDAYS starting 12/6 (big dog room is still open on Wednesdays)
-Level 2/3 Training classes will not be held on Thursday evenings (Classes will still be held Mondays at 11am and Tuesdays at 7:10pm)

ATTENTION: I wanted to share more information on the illness that has been spreading rapidly affecting dogs. There is an illness that is now known to be nationwide; it has similar symptoms to Kennel Cough but is something entirely different, yet to be identified. Veterinary facilities are recommending to keep your dogs from daycares, boarding facilities, grooming facilities, dog parks, etc.

It is your decision to choose where you bring your dog. We will remain open and will continue to care for your dogs the best that we can. However, I must ask that you keep your dog home if they are showing any of the following symptoms: Coughing/hacking, nasal discharge, lethargy, loss of appetite. If we notice your dog is showing these symptoms under our care we will require them to be picked up early and return once symptoms have been absent for one week.

While this illness shares symptoms commonly found with kennel cough, it is something different and appears to be more contagious and linger for much longer. The Bordetella vaccine does help protect from kennel cough, but it does not seem to be effective for this new illness.

Please share and pass this information along.

Please share!!
Tonight's 6pm and 7:10pm obedience classes are canceled due to the severe weather. Classes are happening Thursday as usual.
Stay safe!

12/21/2022

Unfortunately, I don't think our Vizsla friends will be out sunbathing tomorrow. With the expected snowstorm, and the worst of it predicted to be afternoon & evening, the daycare is closing EARLY tomorrow, Thursday Dec. 22nd, at 2pm; evening training classes are canceled.

Normal hours & class times next week. Have a Merry Christmas, and drive safe if you are out & about!

Starting September 5th (Tuesday following Labor Day) Contented Canines will be raising prices. We hope you understand that this is a necessary step to continue doing what we do. We love your dogs, we truly enjoy caring for them, playing with and getting to know them. However, like so many things right now, the cost of running this business has increased, and is continuing to increase. This will help the increase what we pay our staff, in order to hire and keep more experienced staff. I have held this off for as long as possible, but the time has come where we must raise prices to continue doing what we do for you and your dogs.

07/14/2022

Contented Canines is looking to hire additional daycare & front desk staff. Starting pay is $12/hour. Must be comfortable being on your feet for hours at a time and handling/playing with/managing dogs, both large and small. Front desk staff also handles dogs on a frequent basis when dogs are dropping off & picking up. If you are interested, please stop by our building any time during business hours (Monday through Friday, 7am to 6pm) to fill out an application.

07/04/2022

Unfortunately, we are in for another terribly hot Tuesday. Contented Canines will once again have an early out daycare day tomorrow, July 5th, closing at 1pm. Evening training classes are still happening. Again, we apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for understanding.

06/30/2022

Our next Level-1 beginner obedience class starts a week from today - Thursday, July 7th at 6pm. We still have plenty of spots open!

Maverick is a good example of a young dog who progressed very quickly with his training. He has an owner that clearly works with him a lot, and it shows. Here we are practicing the "down" command (one of many that we begin teaching dogs in our level 1 obedience classes) in our lobby, with obvious distractions of our daycare dogs barking and playing and people in the background. I have his attention, which is extremely important in keeping the leash loose, and I do not have to bend to get him to do this. Way to go Maverick!

For more information on signing up for this class, please contact Chase at [email protected].

06/20/2022

Rather than closing entirely, we are having an EARLY OUT tomorrow, Tuesday June 21st, closing at 1pm to avoid the hottest part of the day. Please understand that we are only trying to do what's in the best interest for the dogs. Evening training classes will still be held. Please share and help spread the word - thank you!

06/13/2022

It is TOO HOT for us to play tomorrow, even with a pool! Unfortunately, due to the heat, Contented Canines will be CLOSED TOMORROW June 14th. Try as we might, we are unable to cool our old building down when the heat index gets in the triple digits. There will be no daycare or evening training classes. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause. Please share!

05/26/2022

Bella and Brutus would like to inform everyone that Contented Canines is CLOSED this upcoming Monday, May 30th for Memorial Day.

Our next Level 1 Beginner Obedience class begins Tuesday, June 7th. If you have a young dog under 6 months this class is a great place to start with the training. For more info you can email Chase at [email protected].

THANK YOU to everybody who donated to our fundraiser to help the dogs & other pets of Ukraine!!! We are blown away by the amount of support we received. In just over a month we raised $1,278 to send to Greater Good - Save the Pets of Ukraine, and including the $400 matched by Contented Canines, we were able to donate a total of $1,678 to help those animals... which is HUGE! We can't thank you enough.

Also a huge thank you to Karla Sosa at Channel 4 News for helping us get the word out!

We will continue to take donations as long as the situation continues to send them as much help as we can.

04/15/2022

We want to do our part to help out in Ukraine. We are in the dog world, so more specifically, we'd love to do what we can to help the dogs and other pets of Ukraine. Through the end of the month we are accepting donations of cash or check. ALL of the proceeds are going to Greater Good - Save the Pets of Ukraine. They are partnered with Kormotech, the largest manufacturer of pet food in Ukraine, among other organizations. What's even better is the fact they are not only helping those on the Ukraine/Poland border, but the pets that are stuck in Western Ukraine that may need help the most.

Donating is very simple! Stop by our Moline facility anytime during business hours and let our front desk staff know that you'd like to make a donation (cash or check only). We will give you a card to write your name and whatever message you'd like, and we will post it up in our lobby. At the end of the month, ALL proceeds will be donated to help the animals of Ukraine. Please share, and THANK YOU in advance!

03/17/2022

Plenty of spots open for our upcoming Level-1 obedience class beginning Thursday, March 24!

Bella is a level 3 dog, which means we can practice down&stay outside, with real life distractions at a long distance. It takes consistent effort and lots of practice to get here, but it all starts with the level-1 beginner obedience.

02/22/2022

We are in need of large, functional dog kennels similar to this. They don't have to be in great shape, but must have enough pins to keep it together, and the door must work (not bent like the one pictured). Donations are GREATLY appreciated but I am happy to work out a fair price for used equipment.

We have been pretty lucky this winter as far as not having to close. If rain & snow leads to dangerous road conditions overnight into the morning, we may be closed for the day tomorrow (Thursday). If this is the case, we will post on Facebook, and the phone message will be changed before 6:30AM (309-756-6039). Otherwise we plan to be open.

More new training videos of the puppies I am training, just put them up on my On the Farm Dog Boarding and Training page, check them out. Below is just one of the videos.

11/18/2021

Our shelves are stocked once again! Lots of dog food and treats, including the very popular "purple treats". Pink treats are new, I encourage you to try those out and tell us what you think!

The ProPac Ultimates bags have changed, but it is the same food. The Large Breed Adult which used to be the brown bag, is now an orange bag with a dog on the front; the Chicken & Rice is still the red bag, but now a red bag with the picture of a dog on the front. Same food, new bag =)

11/17/2021

Last night, in our Level 1 Obedience group class, I discussed how I was working on teaching a training dog of mine, with positive training, how to not jump on the table. This is our session this morning with 12 week old Pitbull puppy Gia. Also like and follow my On The Farm Dog Boarding and Training page for more videos on training.
