Do any of these sound familiar???

Has the impulse control of a crackhead at a slot machine.

Knows his name, knows exactly what you’re asking, and chooses to act like you’ve never met.

Greets every visitor like they’ve been deployed overseas for 14 years and just made it home.

God forbid another dog walks by, because apparently we’re now fighting for the rights to the last remaining female on Earth.

Cage aggression reminding you of an inmates from guantanamo.

🚨 🚨 DOES YOUR DOG NEED A VACATION FROM YOU? 🚨 🚨

Look, I’m not saying your dog is tired of you… but have you ever considered that maybe THEY need a break? 😂

While you’re off enjoying your vacation, let your dog enjoy theirs!

Come board with us!!!!

Plenty of outside time, enrichment every night, and even play dates during the day!

Let us treat your fur baby as one of our own. 💙

💚MENTAL HEALTH MONDAY💚

Happiness.

People often think it comes naturally but the truth is that it doesn't. We have to work at it everyday. Our brains are actually hardwired to seek out the negative in the day rather than looking at the positive. A professor at YALE taught a course on the psychology of how to live a happy life. Here are some very important lessons that she found:

🐶 LESS MONEY. You may think that having more money will make you happy but studies have shown there is no increase in happiness with more money. In fact, they found it actually decreases happiness.

🐶 CONNECTION. When you are feeling lonely or sad, the quickest way to combat that is to help someone else you think is lonely. Our happiness is directly tied to lifting up other people.

🐶 TIME. The more time you have to sit and enjoy the present rather than the constant busy schedules is directly tied to an increase in happiness.

Happiness actually takes work. No matter what your situation may look like right now, find one thing that makes you happy in this very moment. 😊

This is your friendly reminder that training starts at 8 weeks, not when your puppy has already declared himself chief of your household. 😂

The earlier we start, the easier it is to build good habits before the bad ones become a full-time career.

That cute little face? Adorable. That brain? Currently running on approximately 3 functioning neurons and a dream.

Owning a kennel is basically just having a really expensive backyard full of dogs that aren’t yours. 😂

Wouldn’t trade it for anything.

SSRK9 Boarding facility

Small by design. Big on attention.

We could’ve built a huge boarding facility and packed it full of dogs… but that’s not what we wanted.

We intentionally keep our kennel small so we can actually know your dog, spend time with them, and give them the attention they deserve.

5×5 indoor kennel + 5×5 outdoor kennel
Heating & air conditioning
Two fenced-in yards
1,200 sq ft outside area
3,600 sq ft play area

Less dogs. More attention. More time out of the kennel. And a whole lot more tail wagging.

It’s a special day when you are given a young dog and get to train them up and find there forever home.
Hank Hill (the redbone) is such a sweet boy and is going to some of the best people I have ever met.
Good luck little buddy!

Sometimes the best trainer for your obnoxious young dog is an older dog who has absolutely zero patience for his nonsense.

It’s okay to let appropriate corrections happen.

No, your older dog is not “being mean.”

He’s basically saying, “Kid, I have explained this already.”

Socialization isn’t always puppies playing together and having a blast. Sometimes it’s learning when to knock the crap off.
