IT'S THE LAW AND OUR POLICY

All dogs on the premises must be leashed at all times. NO EXCEPTIONS. It is also important that the leash be attached to a properly fitted collar. A flat collar must fit snug around the dog’s neck. You should be able to place only two fingers between your dog’s neck and collar. The collar must not be so loose that it pulls over your dog’s head. It is also important that the collar contain your dog’s tags.

Michigan State Law requires that your dog be licensed and that his current tags be securely attached to the collar, which …“shall at all times be kept on the dog for which the license is issued, except when such dog is engaged in lawful hunting accompanied by its owner or custodian.”

Under no circumstances shall your dog’s tags be attached to a training collar (i.e., a choke chain or a pinch collar) while being boarded. For safety reasons, training collars are routinely removed from all dogs when they are placed into the kennel run. It is your responsibility to present your dog to us with his/her tags securely attached to a properly fitted flat collar.
