Guest lavendergirl Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 That may be what the OP wants. A lot of kennels are like that anyway. That's actually what I was thinking- I wouldn't trust it, but I'm sure many kennels operate like this in reality, despite what they advertise as doggy nirvana while you're on holiday.. Yes they all make it look like doggy heaven, but they're all just a business there to make money. I will be calling one kennel Monday and see how i go / If they are prepared to take him, i'll give him a trial run at the kennel for a couple days and see how it goes before i book a longer stay. I actually have a kennel in NSW and take small / medium dogs. We offer hands on all day and I am quite offended at the pointed comment..... Yes they all make it look like doggy heaven, but they're all just a business there to make money." I think you should look around and see some uomarket facilities before you make such a general comment. Just have to add my two cents! I have just boarded my dogs for almost three weeks. The kennel they went to was superb! I got pictures and emails of the dogs antics every three days or so! It always seemed like the kids were playing ball, digging, running around and having fun. They came home in tip top condition, lol if I am to confess perhaps a fair bit cleaner than when they live at home! The facility where they slept was spotless and had absolutely no smell! Mind you there were no TVs and such but there seemed to be a great deal of care and good commonsense with activities that the dogs enjoyed! Wow sounds great! I am sure there must be equivalent kennels in Brisbane surely but boy are they hard to find - have inspected a few and not happy yet Not sure how much dogs really appreciate televisions etc. either. I want one that provides some human interaction as my little dog is very "people focussed" - opposite to what the OP is looking for I think.

KitKat Posted November 27, 2011 Share Posted November 27, 2011 Sorry to get back to late to this one - didn't see that someone had asked me a question!! Yes...i have used Redgum Kennels for both dogs and cats - i've used them on and off for a number of years now and have always been happy with their service, kennels, cattery and treatment of my pets. I've usually also paid the lil extra for obedience training for my dogs when they are there - not because they necessarily need it, but i figure it's something extra to work their brains.

I contacted them once and the lady's phone manner left a lot to be desired so I took my business elsewhere.
