  Deanne F. asked:

  I'm looking for recommendations for boarding and/or day care for my 16-month-old neutered Rottie boy, but I have specific requirements: force-free positive reinforcement training/handling only. I don't want to deal with anyone trying to talk me into putting him into a prong or slip collar, or talking about "dominance" and "pack leaders".

  

  Ken M. replied:

  My family runs a well-established boarding kennel called Matthews Kennels. We don't train right now, but we do offer very personalized care (overnights or daycare) and believe strongly in positive reinforcement (i.e. Ian Dunbar, Victoria Stilwell camp). We don't have indoor/outdoor runs - simply large grassed areas (fenced in, of course), where dogs run free. Our largest yard is approximately an acre. We don't do 'group play', however, unless the dogs are from the same family or are very familiar with each other prior to boarding. Check out our FB page or site, and let me know if you have questions! Good luck finding your furry family member's home away from home! www.matthewskennels.com

  Looking for a great kennel/"dog resort" for our friends border collie. Anyone have any recommendations. They live in Barrhaven but are willing to travel (within reason) for a great place as he will be staying 1 week. We would take him but we have 3 doxies and they don't get along.

  Looking for a recommendation for a dog kennel. We'll be away for a week. She's not used to being cooped up as I'm home with her all day. TIA

  hi all! my husband and i are going on vacation for a week in november and need to house our dalmatian pup (1.5 years) somewhere in the west end. she's very high-energy, so we need something that allows her to run around and play for a good chunk of the day. does anyone have suggestions for a good dog boarder in the area? thanks!

  I use Matthews Kennels out at Dwyer Hill. I've been using them for about 11 years. They're great. My dog has a lot of anxiety issues. They're the only place I'll take him..... And I won't even let my friends dog sit him.
