1.The Kennels We were going to build runs like other kennels but we just aren't like everyone else. We decided to assign boarders large crates for bedtime and naps. Dogs seem to see their crates as dens. Even dogs who never have been in crates before seem to like the security of a crate, reducing the stress of kenneling. Our goal is to get the dogs outside playing as much as possible so that they like to snuggle up and rest when crated. Occasionally we do run across a dog who can not tolerate crating and we do have two indoor kennels for these dogs.

2.The Paddocks at Hot Cha are large enough to allow for lots of running and playing.  Dogs are divided into small playgroups that allow the dogs to interact.   Dogs are supervised while at play.    Paddocks are securely fenced with double-gated entries.  Your dog will enjoy as much play as weather permits.  When weather is extreme, dogs are given playtime in our indoor training area.

3.The Care at Hot Cha reflects our love and respect for all dogs.  Dogs are given individual care every day.  They are fed a premium dog food or you may bring your own food.  They are given frequent treats and soft beds.   We find that dogs that are content miss their owners less.
