I booked my 1 year old Cocker Spaniel into EK Kennels for one week. When we arrived, I asked to view the kennels before taking my dog out of the car. I was told that as I had already booked him into the kennels, it was not necessary for me to view the accommodation. The owner then said to 'forget it' as he did not want to take my dog at all. So, I went back to my car and was about to drive away when the owner came and apologised for being rude and said he would take my dog for the week. I said no and took my dog home. I telephoned various kennels and got a cancellation with a kennel that was at the opposite ends of the scale from EK Kennels, ie the owners were very welcoming, pleasant and delighted to look after my Cocker Spaniel. The kennels themselves were superb. If you take your dog to EK Kennels, be careful about saying anything that will upset the owner! read more
