Mushing update (Mushing in the Olympic Games Tease, Iditarod updates tease, Team Ineka tease) Starting March 6, 2010 I will be giving daily updates on the Iditarod and I am working out the logistics to be up in Anchorage this year for the start and to attend the Musher’s Ball.


Unleashed Indoor Dog Parks

We spoke to Kelly Acree the co-owner of Unleashed an Indoor Dog Park in Dallas Texas. This is the first of its kind in the nation. It includes a cafe, pet shop, grooming, training, seminars and two seperate play areas for big and little dogs. The place cost 10 million dollars to build and it costs a nominal fee of jus $7.50 per day and that is for a full day so the dog/owner can come and go all during the day. The dog owner can visit a “pet friendly cafe” and use the free wifi. This is the ultimate in pets.

Back to Unleashed Interview....

We continued with the interview with Kelly Acree from Unleashed indoor dog park in Dallas Texas and spoke about seminars being offered at the location and the type of clientelle and staff that they attract. We also talked about a very unique concept in that they offer cage free boarding where one of the dog park staff stays with the pets in an “hotel” type setting and the dogs can come and go as they please during the night. We also talked about the vaccine requirements and the need for an indoor space due to the climate of Texas. We also spoke about the future of the unleashed brand and possible licneseing and franchising. You can contact Kelly through her website and on Facebook and Twitter at @kellyunleashed and @unleasheddfw What a great idea!
