May Fun!!

Greymont will begin Play and Learn Monday, May 2.  Think of this daily program as day school for your dog.  The program will teach dogs how to communicate and play with other dogs, and will help them develop dog language and problem solving skills.  If you are interested in enrolling your dog in Play and Learn, give us a call to set up your initial interview!  This program is available Monday through Friday only.

Greymont Kennel will host a Harry Potter inspired event for families and their dogs Sunday, May 22 from 12 p.m. to 4:30 p.m.

Throughout the day, guests can participate in many activities, including a dog walk through the “Forbidden Forest,” and a costume contest featuring dogs dressed as Harry Potter characters.  Professor Bobby Harber will offer “charm classes” which will answer questions and offer advice about dog training and behavior. 

Because no Harry Potter event would be complete without Harry’s favorite sport, Greymont’s outdoor training ring will become a Quidditch field for muggles and their dogs to enjoy.  Dogs can also practice for the Triwizard Dog Tournament. 

The Nashville Humane Association and the Middle Tennessee Golden Retriever Rescue will join the event to raise awareness about their rescues, and to show off adoptable dogs.  Though the event is free, Greymont encourages guests to donate to these rescues.  Nature’s Select Pet Foods will also be on hand to talk about their holistic pet food line.

If you would like for your dog to participate in the costume contest, please arrive at Greymont at 12 p.m. 

Just a reminder:  Our office will be closed on Memorial Day (Monday, May 30).  We will also have no van service on that day.

Fosters Need Homes!

Occasionally, we catch word of some great dogs who need forever homes. 

The first is a sweet girl who was recently rescued from a puppy mill in McMinnville.  Greymont's own Kayla is currently fostering and working with Gail (everyone here calls her Honey).  She's doing great with her housebreaking and socialization.  If you are interested in meeting her, please contact Snooty Giggles Dog Rescue.

We also know of a sweet dalmatian mix named Sam.  His marking make him look like he's always smiling!  6-month-old Sam is in good health, but is missing some toes (his current foster mom doesn't know his story, as she found him on the side of the interstate).  Even with him deformed feet, he still loves to play, and is a happy little guy. We'll have a picture of him soon!  If you are interested, give us a call!
