After 10 years of very entertaining driveway antics, confusing looks and the ever popular, “are you Trish, am I in the right spot?” We figured we would give the people what they want! Here are your signs🎉🥰. Simple and to the point, and yes I think I am hilarious 🫠

When local spring breaks, Easter and an eclipse happen all in a few week timespan you gotta take a minute to just hang out and watch the goofballs have fun! Of course our favorite activity is to play in The Dirt Hole, and yes, it is a proper noun because it is THE official dirt hole of Tricia’s Kennel. It has been filled, topped over, seeded and reseeded and our campers have repeatedly recreated The Hole… so we now just enjoy The Dirt Hole in all its glory! The kids sure are 🤣🥰🤪

Update: She is home and safe 🥰

Found on a front porch in Pleasant Plains. Sweet and currently in a safe location while waiting for owner. Has not been to vet to be scanned for a chip yet as office was not open when the person who found him had to leave for work. If you recognize this dog please contact Dawn (217) 717-6287 for location and pick up information!

Just a friendly reminder as we start looking at the weekend, we have our upcoming dock diving event at 97 November 17-19 and are trying something new by adding some earlier options for morning drop off and pick up due to my being at 97 during regular office hours on Friday and Saturday. My crew will be here during the normal 8:15-9AM schedule on Friday and Saturday, however, we are opening the office at 7AM for those who would prefer an earlier drop off. I will be heading over to the daycare facility around 8:15 as our first splash starts at 9, but will be back and forth throughout the day. If you have any questions just let me know!

Front came through this morning and cooled things off a bit… caught some happy smiles in the yard on some of our bigs 🌬️🐶🤗

06/29/2023

Well, we finally got the rain we have been praying for🫠. All is well and the campers are enjoying their day, business as usual! Generator is keeping things cool and no snack or play times were interrupted so life as they know it has been maintained to their standards and expectations😎. Y’all know the amount of side eye we get when they know their routine has been interrupted 😒, we can thank Mother Nature for scheduling accordingly 😘

06/06/2023

We have some fabulous “washed and found” items looking for their homes😂. If you recognize any of these let me know and we will get them ready for you! If you are not interested in the blanket any longer, that is okay too, just let us know and we will put it to good use!

We also always have our “homebound for a hound” stash of goodies on the shelves near our checkin/out counter. Some with name labels and some that were found in the play yard, etc after campers have headed home. Ya never know what you may have forgotten your buddy left behind😊

HUGE SHOUT OUT to my awesome kennel crew: Nana Pat, Michael, Erin, Tracy and Ann! I have had the worst IBS flareup I have ever had. Started Saturday evening and I am just now getting functional and able to eat a slice of bread and drink water. This crew has taken over the kennel for me while I fight my "demon." There are no words to express how awesome this team is and how much they love their jobs and love your dogs! Even on the days when Aunt Trish physically CAN"T be Aunt Trish, know your furbabes are loved beyond measure! They make me smile and make tails wag no matter who is behind the counter up front! Go Team!!

Tornado touchdown was northwest of the kennel near Pleasnat Plains that we know of. The kennel is perfect, the dogs, Nana Pat & I were hanging out listening to music and finishing up supper as we got messages that a touchdown had happened. Everyone is fine and the dogs didn’t even know there was a storm… exactly how I like it! Life is good and prayers are answered everyday 🙏🏻🥰

An update for all family locations as we start 2023. Thank you for another great year.

Pricing changes for Kinners on 97, Kinner Kennels, & Tricia’s Kennel

Kinners on 97 reopens the morning of Tuesday 1/3/22. We have made use of the break updating equipment at 97 & keeping up with the busiest time of year at the boarding kennels.

Our families would like to thank you all for the support you have given us this past year. Our first year at the 97 location has been a tremendous success and it is all due to your willingness to grow with us and allow us to play with your pups! We have a few important dates and price changes we want to share with you before we start the new year.

At the Kinners on 97 daycare and pool location, we will be keeping our grooming and pool service prices the same. We have scaled back on full grooming services due to the rapid increase in demand for the daycare experience. Daycare related pricing will be increasing $2 for each service. Daily daycare will be $25/day. Package pricing will be $220 for a single dog and $200 for each additional dog. We have also added daycare swim packages for dogs who swim regularly and unassisted swim packages for those who like to prepay for swims and make for speedier checkout. We have loved working with your pups this year and welcome any suggestions you have to make the experience better.

We currently have three dates scheduled for NADD dock diving events for early 2023. We will be closed the Friday & Saturdays of these weekends. Please enter these in your calendar. We hate to have you waste a trip to come to daycare only to find us in the middle of dock diving. As always, the public is always invited to come and checkout the fun!

January 13-15 – 1st Birthday Splash

February 11-13 – Valentine’s Day Splash

March 17-19 – St. Patrick’s Day Splash – NADD Regional Qualifier

We will most likely host a late July event as well with the dates to be determined.

At Kinner Kennels & Tricia’s Kennel boarding locations, we will be increasing overnight boarding from $25 to $30/night. This price increase will take affect for reservations checking in after the first of the year. As you are aware, we don’t raise prices every year. It has been several years since our last price increase. Our costs have continued to rise, and we hope that this increase will allow us to avoid a yearly bump in prices.

Once again, thank you for your support and trusting us to play with your pups. We are blessed to have you all as clients and our families and staff are grateful to have you.

We hope you had a Merry Christmas and we will see you next year!

Hello All!

With Kinners On 97 opening there have been some transitions happening that I want to make everyone aware of.

1. All full grooming services are now being scheduled and done at 97. Mikayla moved her gear into her new shop at 97 and it is business as usual in the new location!

2. Simple requests such as baths and nail trims, etc. can still be done at the kennel during boarding stays, but all grooming is being done at 97 during a scheduled grooming appointment. I fully understand this is not as convenient for folks who have begun grooming during boarding stays and I apologize for that. We have just run out of room for everything at one location so by moving to 97, this allowed for Mikayla to have her own shop and be able to work with more dogs in a more efficient manner.

3. You can access the Kinners On 97 page through Paw Partner, the same as you access Tricia's Kennel. The account you set up for the kennel works for any business that is affiliated with the Paw Partner program. To access 97's site, simply click on "locations" and a local map will bring up the local businesses that use Paw Partner. Select Kinner's On 97 and it will take you into the welcome and booking screen like the one you are familiar with for the kennel and off you go!

4. Daycare, Grooming and Pool sports are offered at 97, all boarding is still located at both Amy and my kennels. Kinner Kennels is not online with Paw Partner yet, but will be in the months to come. In order to book with Amy and Drew you can reach them as you always have via text, phone or email.

5. If looking to book pool time at 97, you will find those offered under the training tab. You are also welcome to add on pool time during your dog's daycare stay by selecting that option when booking daycare or simply tell us at drop off that morning and we will get your dog added to the list for that day. 30 minute private rentals are available Mon-Friday 9AM-3:30PM, ending at 4PM and on Saturdays 12:30-2:30PM, ending at 3PM. Staff is available on site to help with gear or to assist with dogs in the water if you are in the early stages of introducing the dog to swimming or a pool setting.
Saturday mornings are an open swim setup for dogs and owners comfortable with the water. 3 hours available walk in, walk out pool time. Owners are not allowed to swim with their dogs.

I am sure there is more to come, but this is all that is coming to mind at the moment! Thank you all for your amazing support as we expand our businesses and bring new family friendly programs to the area!
You guys rock!
Trish

These are fabulous 😂

In case that surprise under the Christmas tree doesn’t come with an instruction manual… or it was devoured in transit… this may help!

Too funny not to share😉

Dear Customer,
Congratulations on acquiring your Labrador. Please find the instructions for your particular model listed below.

Although your Labrador comes fully assembled, due to particular issues during production, we do occasionally see issues with components such as screws, coming loose or missing altogether.

Mode 1: This is the sleep mode, activated for the majority of the day, and increases as the Labrador ages. This is normal and you should not worry about it, just accept the peace and quiet while you can.

Mode 2: Anarchy. Although we have tried to ease the effect of anarchy mode, it’s not always possible. There have been inherent issues with the timer settings of anarchy mode during shipping; therefore, there are none installed. Should your Labrador suddenly go from comatose to bouncing off the walls, you cannot stop this feature, so don't even try.

Sunlight: Do not allow your Labrador to stay in the sun too long. They can burn if left unattended, but they also utilize this to recharge. Too much of a charge; however, and mode 2 can be activated without warning.

Energy consumption: There has been an issue identified as energy consumption. We have tried to put baffles, one way valves and diversions in place but none seem to work adequately. Safe to say what goes in comes out, in both solids and gas. The gas, although noxious, can only inhibit breathing of the owner for up to ten minutes 🤢 Be sure to ventilate your working area well during energy consumption - or purchase a gas mask.

Naming: Your Labrador comes untitled as we feel owners should use names of their own choosing. If you are undecided we have listed a few names below that our owners like to use:

You’re kidding me
Is that yours?
Don’t you dare
K**b
Do**us
Put that down
Why?
Get that out of your mouth

Software: Your Labrador has come pre-installed with the highest software, firmware and hardware. This includes the loyalty chip, the love every one chip, fun chip and, of course, the highly popular mayhem chip. They are all running on the WHATTHEFU@@ operating system 12.2. Although this revision has been in circulation for many years, we have found it simply cannot be improved upon.

Should you have any questions or concerns regarding your newly acquired child, you can reach us on 118-what-did-I-do

We hope you have many years of enjoyment with your Labrador. Please be aware that by the time you have read this, your warranty will have run out. Unfortunately, we do not renew warranties and we do not offer refunds or returns……. ever. It’s your problem now.

Thank you!
-Management

We are now LIVE ONLINE with Paw Partner!!

https://pawpartner.com/pz/book?p=279164

Our new online booking system is now live and we can take booking requests for boarding, daycare and grooming either through our website www.triciaskennel.com OR download the Paw Partner Ap for super easy access!

We have started accounts for the majority of our clients that have boarded with us over the last 3 years and have been updating email addresses over the last month so logging in should be quick and easy! Current clients should have received an email inviting you to create a password and log into your account, as long as the email we have on file is accurate.

We are still taking booking requests via text as always. However, we have been diligent in finding a company that is easy to work with and are hopeful that you will enjoy the benefits of this option as well, which will allow for us to keep the booking process as efficient as possible!

Ummmm guys, isn’t there a rule about how many can be on base at one time while playing tag?

Their job started 20 years ago today… thank you to all of the SAR dogs and their handlers of 9/11. Never forget…

Amy and Tricia spent the last 5 days in Topeka Kansas being trained in all things dock diving. The mission was to bring home a certified judge for our future facility, better understanding of the admin side of the program and event hosting, and to be approved as an active NADD facility. We went, we learned, we accomplished!

A HUGE thank you to Steve Powell and Kristin Elmquist with NADD’s Midwest Mobile Dock for allowing us the opportunity to fully immerse ourselves into the program and come out feeling confident, prepared and excited about our future facility and the programming we will offer! There is a reason these guys do what they do, they are just straight up good at their jobs! Their passion for dogs just pours out of them and learning from the best was a privilege! Also a shout out to the future of NADD, Jayden… kid… you rock! Hard worker and a great all around young man, it was a pleasure getting to know you and working with you, keep going like you are and the world will be yours!

Another HUGE, HUGE thank you for our team and families back home. Between the guys staying back to keep all the kids alive and where they need to be all while meeting their normal daily demands, epic! For grandparents stepping in when called and helping out, love you!! Our kennel teams, girls… there are no words! Being able to leave and get this stuff done would not happen without you guys keeping things going and you are worth your weight in gold!! We have a rock star team and man, it’s awesome!

Things we learned:
1. Kansas is HOT in August, like, for real… just clarifying in case folks were curious…

2. We are firm believers in a climate controlled facility, refer to 1 for more information…

3. Setting up and tearing down these mobile pools ain’t for sissies, there is an art to it and we are confident in our ability to set up our pool and leave it there until the end of time.

4. Little dogs can really fly off these docks when they want to, a dauschund reaching six feet from a stand still🤯

5. Belly flops are funny regardless of species… although dogs enjoy them, while we hairless humans do not😏

6. Even the fanciest, most well trained show dog will lose its mind with excitement when he/she sees a pool and realizes they get to have some fun😉.

7. Dock diving is our jam, we fit in well as the rowdy fraternity house in a fancy neighborhood😉. You go do your stuff then come celebrate with us, pool, good tunes and ribbons… we are serious about what we do & it being productive fun is an awesome perk!

8. Kansas is HOT in August… just in case you missed that one the first time😏

I hope everyone is staying cool this weekend. We have down our routine of going outside to run and play, coming inside to cool in the a/c and eat a snack, and then doing it all over again!

This weekend we’re extra thankful for Micheal, who put new a/c units in at the beginning of summer. The kennel has never felt better!!
