Kennel Routine
It is probably unrealistic to expect dogs in kennels to get their normal amount of exercise although we suspect some may get more when they are with us. We have devised a routine that we believe is in the dogs’ best interest whilst they stay with us.
Basically we let the dogs individually into the exercise areas between 5 and 7 times a day starting at about 7am and sometimes finishing about 1am the next morning. They get 5 to 10 minutes each during which time their runs are checked and cleaned as necessary and we spend time playing or otherwise interacting with the dog. We prefer to feed twice per day and we usually take each dog for a short on lead walk or period in our play area – just for a change of scenery! So on average we interact with each dog at least 9 times a day.
