My husband found this quite funny the first time he saw me doing it, so he asked me to do it again to get a video. 😂. In all seriousness though, what you see here has been years in the making. These dogs are all incredibly well established, very frequent clients. This is the only reason I’m conducting a playgroup this large. Some of them have been with me for nine years! They know me and my standards and listen as if they were my own. I know them, their personalities, their mannerisms, and can read their body language. THIS is why I have kept Grateful Dog Kennels small and exclusive. ❤️ 🐾

It’s always nice when I have a group of “regulars” here that are all well established with one another. This means I can have a larger playgroup and give everyone even more time outside! Check out this incredibly well-behaved, relax group of dogs enjoying the morning! 

Labradors as far as the eye can see this week!

Hey everyone! Butch here! In honor of my one year gotcha day, my mom would like to get on her soapbox for a moment. She wants to remind you that it is REALLLLLLY EASY to not add to the overcrowding problem in our local shelters this weekend.
1. Check your fences and gates before letting your dogs out. Today, tomorrow, Sunday, always.
2. Get your dogs out to potty early, before the big fireworks start. She suggests by 8 PM at least.
3. If you leash walk your dog, make sure your equipment is secure. Regular buckle collars loosen and slip off. Use something like a slip lead or martingale. 
4. If your dog is typically perfectly off leash trained in your yard, well, nothing is perfect. Loud noises can spook the most well trained dogs. Just put your dog on a leash. I promise, it’s not that hard.
5. Have identification on your dog! Even simply writing your phone number in sharpie on their collar can make a huge difference. 
6. Make sure your dog is micro chipped, and that microchip is registered!  In case of a freak accident and numbers 1 through 5 fail, allow this to be your backup. The first thing an animal control officer will do when it finds a dog is scan it for a chip. Make sure your info is up-to-date on these registrations.
Have a SAFE and happy Fourth of July everyone! ❤️🤍💙 🇺🇸

Dear Faithful Clients,
As I come upon the nine year anniversary of Grateful Dog Kennels in just a few days,  I wanted to take a moment to thank you for your loyalty! This June we reached a new record number of reservations completed and dogs cared for in a single month (replacing the old record from July 2025)! THANK YOU for choosing Grateful Dog Kennels as your dog’s home away from home!

The weekend of July 10 now has a waitlist (which most likely won’t move at all) five dogs deep! Three of those requests have been within the last 24 hours. Just a forewarning, if you were thinking of asking, there’s zero chance that I will end up with an open kennel that weekend!
