A Day at MJ

7:00 am – Rise and Shine
Dogs are aired on our 5-acre property that is fenced, secure and safe. They can run, swim, dig, roll and romp. They are allowed to stay out as long as they want. When they come back to the kennel they get a treat and put back into their run. If they are to be fed, this is when they get their morning meal and medication if required.

8:30 am – Kennel Keeping
Kennels are very large and comfortable. In fact, if you have more than one dog, each kennel can accommodate two large dogs. (we still charge for each dog though!)

Mid-day – The Big Walk
If your dogs get along with others, can be walked off-leash and come when called they get an hour walk on the 300 acres that butt up to our property. They can burn off some energy and frolic with other dogs and just be dogs. We do this walk every day all year round. Rain or shine. The dogs are so content after this walk they are happy to get back to their run and take an afternoon nap. If you've ever wondered why your dogs sleep for hours after being at MJ Kennels, it’s because they’ve had an incredible physical experience. If the weather gets extreme (like we sometimes get here in Northeast Ohio), we just give them another romp in the 5-acre area.

If you own an older dog that is not physically able to make that walk or can’t be let out with the more rambunctious dogs, they will be let out with others their age or alone to do their own thing.

5:00 pm – Chowtime
Feed and water all dogs and let them out again.

10:00 pm – Night Moves
Dogs are let out into the fenced area to get their last stretch and to do their business. We let them in and then we spend another half hour hanging out with your dogs. We sit in their kennels and rub their ears and get to know them.
