Aside from plenty of exercise and good nutrition, a stress
free environment is essential to good health. To this end,
Llewellyn provides the dogs with 24 hour human
companionship.
In addition, Llewellyn designed a unique kennel building that
ensures that each dog feels he is a family pet.
 |
Humans see into the run
section from the driveway Dogs can see the driveway from inside. |
| In addition to the big sliding windows, the north runs catch the sunlight though 100 feet of skylight |  |
| Interior
kennels are climate controlled. Exterior runs are roofed
to eliminate rain and snow, and exterior walls are of
sliding glass panels that overlook the entire property. |

|

Glass all round combined with easy-to-see-through welded wire rather than chain link, lets each dog see and be seen by his master (trainers and dispatch people), so they feel that they belong. |
Interior
kennels are climate-controlled |
| Wide centre isles make a spacious workplace for the staff, as well as an airy living space for the dogs. Dogs have 24 hour free access to the exterior runs. |
A built in high pressure hose-down system means no scooping, just "blast" everything into the drains, where sewage lines ensure that no waste from one run can contaminate another. The labour-saving design frees staff from grunt work, allowing more one-on-one quality time with the dogs.
 Dogs are treated to automatic food and water, and each kennel has its own window |
The kennel offers a choice of sleeping on a
floor-level pallet, a sleeping box 2 feet off the floor,
or 4 feet up on top of the raised sleeping box. (many
dogs prefer the highest level) |
Exercise Fields at Llewellyn
Llewellyn dogs enjoy full out exercise summer and winter in wide open fields as part of their physical fitness programme.
Llewellyn Whelping Room
Away from the noise and activity of the main
kennel building, is Llewellyn's "Hospital"
Left: the "quiet room"
features small pens for limpers and gimpers; recovery kennels
just big enough for comfort for dogs under doctor's orders to
take it easy.
Right: big windows look into the bright, roomy whelping
room. The room doubles as a nursery, offering the
puppies protection from bacteria, but allowing plenty of
interaction with visitors.
| Llewellyn officers are never "alone"..... besides on-site visits by patrol supervisors, Llewellyn's strong 18-member support staff provides solid backup to all duty officers. |
