At Hamilton Hounds we get an interesting mix of dogs (and their parents) coming to see the facility and enrol for day care with more arrivals each day.

One way we can assess how well socialised new dogs are is introducing them to our canine ambassadors at our initial orientation meeting. Kaz pictured here on his favourite sofa in our 'Big Dogs' play area, helps us assess how new play pals will cope with canine company in a group.

Kaz is a three year old German Shepard and he is immensely patient and gentle for a 55 kilo furry boy. Teaching polite play techniques is his speciality and he is currently working with two wonderful young dogs (Onyx and Dixie) on how to have fun and impress your elder dog friends.

Kaz does full days at Hamilton Hounds without a grumble or growl, a wee treat now and then is his reward for his sterling service. He truly is a gentle giant and we love having him as one of our Canine ambassadors.
