Westinn Kennels – Everything Under One Woof

Westinn Kennels offers a variety of training and care programs. Their Doggie Daycare program is available for pets of all sizes, with options for group play or special attention for dogs that don’t thrive in group environments.

An alternative program provides 5, 30-minute play times with a staff member for dogs needing special attention. Puppy Play Dayz are free, supervised play dates every Wednesday for puppies under 6 months.

Training options include Behavioral Evaluations to address reactivity or aggression issues, and Private Sessions for customized one-on-one training. For owners with limited time, Board n’ Train and Day Train programs offer customized plans where trainers work with pets to achieve obedience goals. They also offer preparation for A.K.C. Canine Good Citizen and Therapy Dog certifications.

Specialized classes include Nosework, taught by Erin Seely and Kevin West, suitable for dogs 4 months and older of all activity levels. Conformation Classes, a drop-in class held every Wednesday at 7:00 pm and taught by Julie Patzius, focus on handling techniques and breed presentation for show dogs.
