DOG BOARDING (please include your name and phone number on the email) Option 1 I would like to offer my support to Kathy Trayler’s application to the RDKB. My dog is one of the lucky few that have a second home with Kathy. I love that my dog gets to vacation in a calm home while I am away at medical appointments or on holidays. We never worry about leaving our dog as Keith and Kathy treat them like one of their own. My dog is always excited to see them. They come home tired and relaxed. The community needs more places like this who cater to looking after pets in a home like environment. Option 2 I would like to offer my support to Kathy Trayler’s application to the RDKB. We met Kathy years ago when we were struggling with our dog’s active, teenage behaviour. Kathy helped us train our dog and continues to support us through allowing us to board our dog in her home. We feel lucky that our dog can stay in a home environment with people who know them and can reinforce our training plan. Kathy is very knowledgeable about dog behaviour and always happy to give us tips on how we can train our dog to be a well behaved family member and good citizen in the community. The community would miss her services. Option 3 I, would like to offer my full and complete support to Kathy Trayler’s application to the RDKB. I have boarded my dog with Kathy and Keith on several occasions. My dog is treated like a favourite grand child who has come home for a visit. Kathy knows dogs and she knows them well. She and Keith ensure that my dog is safe, happy, and entertained. Their yard is well-fenced and the dogs are always supervised when they are outdoors. Inside, they are at Grandma’s: napping on the couch, snuggling up for TV time and scratches, playing with the toys and other guests and, most importantly, not missing us at all. Kathy and Keith offer a vital service to our community. They have chosen to board dogs in their home and treat them like family. What more could we ask for than to have a local business treat our beloved pets to a wonderful little vacation of their own? I support any application that enables Kathy and Keith to continue offering this important service to our community.
