SERVICES
DAYCARE
Doggie daycare offers a place for pet parents to bring their "kids" for playtime, socialization, and supervision during the day. Your dog will love making friends with the other daycare regulars! The wonderful resources offered by the program benefit the overall health and well-being of your family's pet. Playtime stimulates a dog's senses; body and mind. It is a healthy alternative to a boring day at home alone. Daycare is ideal for dogs of all energy levels, giving them the opportunity for release in a positive manner. We also offer half day daycare, which is popular with newcomers. Half days are encouraged for dogs that are scheduled for boarding but haven't had the experience of a kennel environment. The dogs get to sniff us out, acclimate to their surroundings, and most importantly, know that their owner will come back for them. For dogs spending the entire day with us, they will receive a nap time in the middle of the day in order to recharge for a second round of play in the afternoon. Rest is as equally important as social interaction in our daycare program so the dogs learn how to independently settle and avoid maintaining overstimulated mindsets for long durations which often result in anxious or unwanted behaviors.

All new dogs to our facility must go through our evaluation process before being admitted into our daycare program. When enrollment is open, please read the requirements and evaluation process carefully before submitting an evaluation form. After sending in your evaluation form, we recommend you prepare your dog(s) vaccination records and town license information while you wait for a response from our trainer and daycare manager, Kelsey. This will help speed up the process as we are normally booking two to three weeks out for evaluations (longer during peak times).

For dogs who are already apart of our daycare program and successfully passed their evaluation, a reservation is required in order to attend daycare. Reservations are able to be made Mondays through Fridays for either full or half days (please see our hours for drop-off and pick-up times). We are typically booking a week or two in advance for daycare, so please plan accordingly. During holiday weeks or inclement weather (thunderstorms, hot or frigid temperatures, etc.), space will be limited and varied on a day to day basis. We are closed for daycare on all major holidays.

BOARDING
Kessler Kennel offers overnight boarding for pets of every breed, size, and temperament. Our guests receive exceptional care with plenty of exercise, playtime, and socialization with people and other dogs. Boarding can be as short as an overnight stay or as long as a month or more. Whatever your needs, your pet will be treated as if they are part of our family. Hugs, kisses, and belly rubs are all part of our nurturing environment. While indoors, each guest has their own fully insulated and climate-controlled kennel. Kennel sizes range from 3.5 x 4 feet up to 5 x 7 feet. For puppies that need crate-training, we offer small, medium, and large size crates.

For dogs who are already apart of our boarding program and successfully passed their evaluation, you are free to use our online portal to make a boarding reservation. We highly recommend that you submit your dates as soon as possible as we often have to start a waitlist for the summer months, school vacations and major holidays typically a month in advance. Certain periods of the year require a minimum number of nights in order to board, so please ensure to keep that in mind before sending in your request. Please make sure to submit all updated vaccinations records and town licenses prior to dropping off.

TRAINING
We are pleased to announce that dog training will soon be available come September of 2022! Our daycare manager and professional dog trainer, Kelsey Deutsch, has plans to offer a variety of training programs in order to suit your dog's needs and achieve your training goals. With five years of experience, you will learn about canine psychology, be given the tools to curb your dog's unwanted behaviors, improve their overall mindset and change the relationship you have with your dog for the better. It is important to keep in mind that all of our programs require a lifestyle change in order for the training to be successful. The behaviors and skills taught to you will only be solidified through clear, calm and consistent repetition by you for the life of your dog(s). For more information about our upcoming training programs, please fill out the training interest form below.
