| Welcome to Kennel Kamp Village |

My name is Neal Applegate,
my wife is Suzanne and I am guessing that you are visiting
this web page to find out information about KennelKamp
Village. KennelKamp has been a long-term vision of ours
that is becoming a reality. We are both dog lovers and
have had them all our lives. Suzanne is a professional
ABC certified dog obedience trainer and ABKA certified
pet care technician. She is also a CGC evaluator for AKC.
If you are “dog people” you probably already
know what all those acronyms stand for. If not, just email
me and I will break them down for you. Or just click on
Meet
The Staff and find out more about these certified
specialties. Basically it says that she knows her stuff
when it comes to dog training. Me, on the other hand,
am a retired Boeing engineer who knows which end the tail
wags from and which end you put the cookies. |

As I was saying about our vision
----- we, like you, over the years have been very disillusioned
about the quality of boarding facilities available for our
dogs. Upon returning from various trips and vacations, our
dogs were not only overwhelmingly grateful for our return,
but they smelled like a kennel, needed a bath and sometimes
our well behaved house broken dogs would end up urinating
in the house when we returned home. This is what sparked
our vision for something different. We wanted to design
a boarding facility that the dogs would be happy to visit,
be comfortable in their surroundings and not have a need
to urinate in the kennels. I believe we have achieved this
design. Our 12,000 square foot facility allows the dogs
to have maximum comfort in their 8x8 or 8x6 foot fiberglass
lined rooms while enjoying regular walks to the large outdoor
potty/play areas. Their rooms may have sheepskin or fleece
comfort beds, raised slumber baby beds, color TV’s
and with our premium rooms, they have web cameras allowing
owners to check on them via the internet. We plan to walk
our dogs four times a day and allow play breaks during their
restroom times. Our kennels are not hosed down like most
other facilities leaving the dogs to wade through the water
until the concrete dries. OH! Wait! You didn’t know
about the wet floors? Every boarding facility in the area,
including the new resort and spa, uses either a power wash
or hoses down their runs twice a day. A raised platform
bed is offered for the dogs to sleep on, but you know dogs
– some will sleep right on the wet concrete floors.
Contrary to most boarding facilities, we will be steam cleaning
our kennels. We will be using a machine that was designed
for the cleaning of food processing plants. Since our dogs
are walked for potty breaks, the only times our kennels
need to be sanitized is after a guest leaves and before
the arrival of new guests. If on the occasion a dog does
have an “accident” our kennel technicians will
be right there to spot clean and sanitize the soiled area.
Now comes the part about why we call ourselves a Village.
Our facility has all the amenities a dog and dog owner needs
in one little Village. We offer boarding,
training, daykamp,
grooming and retail
supplies. Just click on the different inanities and learn
about each service, our rates and schedules. |
