The standard image of a kennel is a building full of wire cages for boarding dogs. Kennels still function as places where people can leave their pets when they go on vacation, but many have expanded their businesses. The typical modern dog kennel in Seattle aims to attract new customers by tailoring services to meet the needs of pet owners. An increasing number of kennels provide doggie day care services. Busy owners can drop off their dogs before work each day and pick them up afterwards. The pets spend their days in supervised play in the company of human companions and other dogs. They can run freely in a large enclosed park area, chase balls, jump for Frisbees and improve their social skills. An interesting concept catching on in kennels is the self-serve dog-wash. Businesses that offer grooming services tend to have custom built dog cleaning facilities. Some kennels make these available to the public. For a small charge pet owners can wash their dogs in comfort and style making use of raised tubs, special shampoos and doggie dryers. Since many kennels employ staff with dog training experience, it’s not surprising that some offer obedience training classes. A typical beginner course runs one evening a week and teaches skills such as how to politely walk on a leash along with commands such as come, sit; stay and down. Some businesses offer advanced courses, private training or the opportunity to board and train. To take advantage of the benefits offered by a dog kennel in Seattle, your pet may need to meet certain requirements. Many kennels only accept dogs that are current on all vaccinations, spayed or neutered and free of fleas and parasites. Some may evaluate the animal's temperament to ensure that it will interact well with unfamiliar humans and dogs.
