Happy birthday Ava. Thanks for partying with us!
Week 3! Gate Control! Something we have in the past struggled with and a common place for chaos in a daycare environment! Everyone wants to go through, even if they don’t know who or what is on the other side! This week we worked on maintaining space around the gate, using our bodies and the “back up” command. The Daycare Games challenge was to hold the gate open with a group of dogs not pushing their way through. We had fun competing against each other this week! More importantly, it was so beneficial to work on calming the group of dogs in this normally chaotic situation.

This weeks Daycare Games winner is a 3 way tie with a perfect score!! Katie, Jordyn and Janessa got their whole group to sit for 4 seconds! Melissa came in second with 9. Alyssa came in 3rd with 8 and the rest of the staff tied with 7! This was a fun challenge! Thank you for everyone who practiced sits at home! Next week we work on gate control. This one will be tricky!

This week we started our first ever Daycare Games! Each KCK staff member picked 10 dogs to do a recall with while in daycare! Here are just a few of our Successes and our “Nope, not doing that!” 🤭 We had so much fun having a little “friendly” competition between the staff!! Next week we move on to group sit! How many dogs we can get to SIT at one time for 4 seconds! So work on those sits at home this weekend! 😜 The Dog Gurus

Katie’s Canine Klubhouse is 15 today!
15 years ago Ginny and I decided that Caledonia was where we wanted to embark on our journey of running a dog daycare, training and boarding facility. We met a man that was willing to work with us and allow us to modify a rental space suited for dogs and that’s all it took. With some help from family and friends we were able to convert our first location on Douglas Ave into a suitable space in 2009. We grew quickly, Melissa and Allie came aboard and began to pour their heart and souls into the Klubhouse as well. We expanded our space at the first location but once we added grooming to our list of services we knew we needed more space. In the early summer of 2013 we were fortunate enough to move down the street to a new location with much more space allowing us to accommodate A-LOT more dogs, hold larger classes and customize a grooming space.
Throughout this amazing journey we have gotten the chance to work with countless amazing dogs and their people. So many of you have become family. We have been able to rehabilitate hundreds of dogs and help them find their forever homes as well as help struggling families to improve their relationship with their fur babies. The Klubhouse has 13 amazing employees now and each one of us brings something special to the business. Thank you for trusting us, growing with us and continuing to support our dream of “Keeping families together one dog at a time”.
