July 8, 2009 <br />To whom it may concern; <br />I would like to comment with regard to Tim and Deb obtaining a conditional use permit and kennel <br />license in Elk River. <br />First and Foremost, I would like to commend Tim and Deb for being such extremely responsible dog <br />owners. They exercise and train with their dogs on a consistent basis. They have attending numerous <br />training classes and have very nice well behaved social dogs. It is evident that they have spent many <br />hours training and working with their dogs, and have done an absolute wonderful job. <br />I have visited Tim and Deb's house and I'm familiar with their set up for the dogs. They have a beautiful <br />back yard with a fenced play area for the dogs and they have dedicated their garage for an impressive <br />"Dog Room." Very comfortable, quite, clean, heated and air conditioned. Beyond acceptable <br />accommodations for a dog. Deb has always been very concerned about her dogs making noise and we <br />have talked about how to eliminate the unwanted barking, however, dogs bark when they play, it's the <br />natural thing for them to do. She is always taking into consideration of her surroundings and if it gets <br />noisy more than a few minutes she brings them inside. I have never driven by her house, being one of <br />her distant neighbors, and heard her dogs barking and/or carrying on. <br />Tim and Deb have a wonderful set up for their dogs and provide excellent care for them. I would highly <br />recommend Tim and Deb to be granted a conditional use permit/Kennel license. <br />Maureen Ivers <br />Elk River K9 <br />Dog Obedience Training Center <br />
