Kennel facilities Kennels The Netherlands In the main facility in the Netherlands we can hold up to 120+ dogs. Every dog has its own kennel, which measures about 4m2 (36 sq. ft). All dog kennels are cleaned twice a day. The day starts at 7 a.m. in the morning with a break. All dogs are taken out to the outdoor area around the kennel by our staff. After their break, each dog is groomed and ready for training. All kennels are with a full automatic floor heating system and air ventilation system. Water is supplied to the dogs also automatically. Training facilities Most of our training sessions are indoors. We have 11 buildings / rooms in which dogs are trained on a daily basis by 4 trainers. Depending of the level of the dog, green or fully trained, dogs are taken to the room or building to start the training program. Detection training is given in different rooms. This means the dogs are trained to work in different surroundings inside buildings or rooms.
