 More Playtime on Mondays!
Early drop-off time for Kennel Camp.
All of you early risers can get an additional hour of Kennel Camp on MONDAYS. Beginning November 29, and each Monday thereafter, the doors to Kennel Camp will open at 7:00am. No reservation required! Now that cooler weather and less daylight is upon us, Kennel Camp is a great way to exercise your stir-crazy dog. Tuesday thru Friday opening times will remain at 8:00am. Visit our Kennel Camp page to learn more! |
 Holiday Kennel Reservations
Book after this year's holidays for 2011!
As we move into the busy holiday season, remember we book one year in advance, so you can reserve for next year after this year's holidays. No deposit is required to reserve a spot for the holidays and we verify your reservation at least six weeks prior to make sure we have the correct dates saved for you. If you find we are already full be sure to get on our waiting list, as there may be cancellations. We are diligent about calling when an opening becomes available and you may be surprised to get a spot after all. |

 Canine Good Citizen Program
First steps towards building more skills!
The Canine Good Citizen (CGC) program, which was established by the American Kennel Club to promote responsible dog ownership, is coming to ZCK in January!
A series of 6 classes will be held on consecutive Saturdays to help prepare a dog and handler team for the CGC behavioral evaluation. The evaluation consists of 10 different elements, such as accepting a friendly stranger, sit/down/stay on command, and allowing basic grooming procedures. While CGC is not a certification in itself, it is often the first step towards therapy work, advanced obedience, or sporting work. If you are interested in more details, talk with one of our trainers or visit the AKC website. |
 Training Tip with Janalee
Monthly training tips and pointers
Question: How can I keep my dog's sanity during the busy holiday season?
The holidays bring a flurry of activity, unfamiliar guests and hectic schedules, all of which throw your dog's routine into a tailspin. To minimize fallout, try to keep your dog's schedule as normal as possible, including what he eats and when. Ensure your dog gets plenty of exercise (utilize Kennel Camp, or amp up your daily exercise regimen) to alleviate stress. If your dog isn't overly fond of company, use his crate as a safe retreat. When you consider your dog's needs, you'll both have a happier holiday season! |

Groomer's Corner 
Get rid of the stink!
No one likes a stinky dog! With the recent rainy weather and fluctuating temperatures, that just-washed smell can disappear quickly, but at the same time, bathing too frequently may lead to dry and itchy skin (as well as repeated bathroom cleanings).
So, what can you do to keep your dog smelling fresh and clean between baths? Try pet wipes (similar to disposable baby wipes) and spray on pet colognes. If that doesn't do the trick, check with one of our groomers. They have a full line of long-lasting shampoos, conditioners, and colognes. Call 769-6172 to schedule an appointment!
