Snowy days mean happy dogs at River Run Kennels ❄️🐾

It is with heavy heart that we've had to say goodbye to our Wellington aka Welly this evening. With health issues worsening with each few days, the quality of life was no longer there. Some of you may remember this little wolf climbing into your cars looking for Tim Hortons bags to destroy or just to say 'Hi' and leave his dirty paw prints on your clean seats. He loved his romps through the woods with the likes of his besties Spencer, Ruby and Sterling, Bosco, Mandie and others. He loved to lead and manage the pack always. At 17, Welly lived his best life here in the country where he was free to be himself. We're going to miss his presence, however small.
R.I.P. We love you Welly! We will see you on the other side of the 🌈bridge. 😪

Here at River Run Kennels, we not only take professional care of your dog during their stay with us, but we feel it's very important to assist you in offering behavioral training for those clients that may not have the time or patience to ensure their dog has a basic level of obedience training. Not only does obedience make a dog happier and more relaxed, but it also teaches the skills needed to build trust between your dog and you as its owner through clear communication. Obedience classes will teach your dog to respect you, as well as others. They should be able to respond to basic commands like sit, come, and stay. You also want them to be social. Training will help them learn to interact with other people and other dogs. We are pleased to announce that we have partnered with a local certified trainer Kat Kay, to spend the required time and patience for your dog's specific needs. Message us to find out more about these services and packages.

It is with heavy heart that today we said goodbye to our Che. He was a gentle giant, with the biggest heart (and appetite) of any on our team. He loved greeting our guests and leading them through our trails.
He will be sadly missed but always loved.
A big thank you to the staff here. They were amazing during the entire time.
Hug your fur-babies tight!
