What does Spot do?
Each day from 9am the exercise program begins. We have football field sized grassy exercise paddock that your dog can run, play or just potter around in. If ‘Spot’ is sociable, he can pick a mate to play with. This provides company, stops boredom and loneliness. We aim to exercise them as much as possible. If ‘Spot’ wants individual walks, we can arrange that too. The yards are secure and spacious, about 10m in length and 3m wide. In addition it has a sheltered sleeping room to keep him warm and dry with a carpeted floor and woollen blanket for comfort. The front section of the kennel gets plenty of air and sunshine and is covered by a roof.
When to bring?
When they arrive in the morning they have plenty of time to settle in, see who is next door and get to know the person caring for them. Then later in the afternoon, eat their dinner and settle in for the night. With this routine we have very few problems with fretting.
