Gone Wild Kennels was established as a dog boarding facility by Dave and Jackie Lovell in 2004. We are located approximately 13 kms northwest of Cochrane, Alberta. Our family run dog kennel caters to all types of dogs, big and small. In the fall of 2010 we expanded the business to include CATS and renovated our old house. We have the state of the art air filtration and I challenge you to find a be

tter CAT boarding facility in the Calgary area!!! Our philosophy is to create an environment where your four legged family member is safe, happy, has plenty of activity and is well socialized. The 6 large open areas promote play and interaction between all of our guests. Each kennel is set up with a door to allow access to the inside and outside for each of our guests. The inside portion of each kennel is 5 feet by 6 feet and heated for your pets comfort. The outside portion of each kennel is 18 feet long by 5 feet wide. There is no doubling up of dogs in our kennels; however dogs from the same family will have plenty of space when sharing a kennel. We prefer to have a maximum of three dogs in each kennel from the same family, depending on the size of the dogs. Gone Wild Kennels believes that if we have a friendly, active environment for our guests, they are much happier and far less stressed about being away from their family. All of our dogs have play time in the play areas at least three times a day for approximately an hour each time. Because the areas are safe and secure, we are able to spend more time with the dogs outside of their individual kennels. We hope that with a higher level of activity and our interaction with our guests, they will relax and enjoy their time in our kennels.

Why walk a dog when you can walk your own bottle baby calves.
4 calves transitioning to hay and grain this week and next. If anyone is interested they are available to purchase. You need to contact Dave at [email protected] .
They can be for next year's freezer or grow them up bigger and as a pet. These 4 are very social , especially when they know where the food source is coming from.
Do your research, jersey meat is a very good tasting meat. It ranks up there with the best.

Bottling 2025 honey is now over.

Now we focus on getting the hives ready for fall / winter by setting them into our quonset and tarped so its dark for the hive. This will happen when it gets much colder.
Thank you to all that has purchased or will be buying our local honey.

Honey is a seasonal item and would make a great Christmas gift. No expiration , never goes bad . Instead of using sugar in your tea or baking try honey.
Thank you for supporting all my very hard working girls, yes all the worker bee's are female ! The honey is 90% alfalfa / 10 % wildflower blend. Its so good.

2025 honey is now available. $10 per 375ml jar. No bulk pricing is available. This honey is unpasterized and is 90% alfalfa , 10% Wild flower.
Gone Wild honey hives are located 10 km away from our farm on a friends ranch. They supplied a incredible place for the bees to work. On one side of the apiary is a lake and the other side is 3/4 of a section of Alfalfa , as well as all the wildflowers in the area.
You can purchase from the farm and cash is preferred. Thank you for supporting all my very hard working girls and the queen.

Penelope was a playful happy cat while she was in our care until Thursday morning when her health took a turn to the worse and was rushed to Sunset ridge vets ( our go to vets ) . One phone and they said bring her in asap. Turned out she went into critical condition in a very short period of time.
The vets at sunset ridge could not do anything as Penelope was 16 years old with kidney problems etc. The owners were notified as soon as she was on her way to the vets.

Now she is playing with her sister she lost 4 years ago as well all her friends waiting for her to cross the rainbow bridge.

Something you will not see in nature unless the conditions are perfect. Honey bees are protecting the entrance of their hive against wasps coming in and raiding the honey bees nectar.
Literally its an all out brawl and its to the death. Reminder honey bees sting is one and the are done, , wasps will sting anything multiple times. What it looks like to me the honey bees are winning. All the guard bees are girls , same as all the worker bee's. The drones in the hive are useless and are only good for breeding.

Enjoy and if you find it interesting or you know somebody would enjoy this amazing part of mother nature , please share. Very rare in my eyes. 5 years of being a beekeeper and this is the first time I have ever witnessed this incredible piece of nature.

Happy long weekend to all.

Our facility is almost perfect with the rain event ready to hit Southern Alberta . Our playarea is on a decline so we won't see any pooling. The massive gravelled area will be great for when the grassy playareas just get to wet.

Trio of pictures from the storm June 4th soon after the dogs were done at 8.30pm. It's not a miss print. The dog clients go out much later then all the other boarding facilities! When the days get longer, I give the clients a romp late at night. Most will close shop at 6pm and call it a day. Not at this place.

Thank you for all your PM's and comments on Instagram & Facebook.

Much appreciated. It helps!

I have something in the works since January 2025 . I won't say what it is until it is proven and it will be exciting for others to watch in person and hopefully on line.
The spring 2026 is when it all will unravel.
