Our classes generally run 60 minutes in length and the facility will allow us to conduct three classes per allocated time slot. To continually provide the best training experience, our class sizes are limited to 10 dogs per class. This allows us to provide individualized assistance and attention to the dog and handler teams. We will be running daytime, evening, and weekend classes. Our experience has shown that the evening class times are the most convenient for the majority of the community. Elk River K9's Operational hours are: Monday through Friday from 6:00 A.M. to 9:00 P.M. and Saturday from 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Dog Daycare In Today's society, dogs are not just "dogs" anymore but are treated as family members. Companion animals play a much larger role in our lives and people are choosing to provide them with the best lives possible. Busy animal lovers are utilizing the ever expanding number of animal related care facilities across the nation, creating better lives for their pets and a peace of mind for themselves. Elk River K9 provides training services integrated with daycare services, which sets Elk River K9 apart from the competition. All dogs that will potentially attend our Dog Daycare program will be screened to ensure appropriate dog and people friendly behaviors are present. Screening is done on each dog, and is important for the health and safety of all concerned that the dogs attending are not have aggressive tendencies, show excessive shyness, are not food or toy possessive, are not overly protective of territory and are not easily stressed in new situations. In addition to the screening mentioned above, dogs accepted into our Daycare Program will need to have proof of vaccinations and proof of licensing from their community. Elk River K9 goes to great lengths to ensure the safety for all of our clients and visitors. The daycare plans to limit the attendees to 25 dogs per day. Currently the planned hours of operation Monday through Friday from 6:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. and Saturday from 7:00 A.M. to 6:00 P.M. Boarding Elk River K9 proposes to operate an upscale 96-suite themed kennel. This luxurious accommodation will provide high-end, 24-hour per day, managed care for our clientele. In addition to the excellent care available for the pets, we hope to provide web cam availability for clientele to see their companions enjoying their stay at the facility. This aspect of the business has great potential for people traveling on vacation too. They will be able to drop off their pets and then take the conveniently located North Star Rail system to the airport. All build out to be approved per building codes and permits prior to construction meeting all applicable building codes. Some example pictures below: (Please note example used is "City" themed, but should provide a general "feel" for the upscale look and theme.)
