Canine Empire

Q.	What kind of access will I have to my dog?
A.	Unlimited. Pick up or drop off any time: 24/7/365.
Q.	When will Canine Empire open?
A.	Late Summer 2008.
Q.	What if I already have a dog sitter?
A.	Great—use her! But do you have a backup? Someone who never gets sick, never leaves town? Who's trained and certified? Who has acres of grounds plus thousands of square feet of indoor play areas? An indoor pool? Of course not. You get the picture: even if your dogwalker/neighbor/relative is 95% reliable, you can still have your Canine Empire membership as backup "insurance".
Q.	I'm time-pressed. What can you offer me?
A.	Relief! Owning a dog should be a joy, not a burden. You never have to conform to our schedule; the staff is her to help you 24/7/365. We're two minutes away from the Kennedy, so you can zoom in to our covered portico, pick up or drop off without leaving your car, and zoom out again. No more rushing to meet the schedule of a kennel or a groomer— your pets are welcome at any time, with space guaranteed, for a few hours, or a day, or a month.
Q.	Can I use the Club pool and play areas to play with my dog off-leash?
A.	The club intends to allow canine and human Members to use its 1,000 sq. ft. play areas when they aren't being used for club activities. We anticipate that weekends will provide the best opportunity for this use. Canine and human Members will also have specific times when they can use the Club swimming pool. Specific times will be announced once the club opens.
Q.	Playgroups sound good. How do you group the dogs?
A.	First, you and your dog will be interviewed by the Club's staff veterinarian and animal behavior expert to determine where your dog will be most comfortable. We group dogs of similar size and breed, then our certified Canine Counselors watch the interaction carefully. We look for dogs that can play happily together, and separate out for reassignment dogs that aren't succeeding in that group.
