Latest News:
Are you looking for something fun to do with your dog on the cold winter weekends?
We are now hosting open play groups on select Sundays 1:30-3:00pm. Next ones are on
Feb 14th, Feb 28th, March 14th, and March 28th! For only $5 a dog, you can enjoy our large
playrooms and fenced yard. We'll take care of the snow shoveling, poop scooping and turn up
the heaters. Dogs must play well with others and show current vaccination records, but they
don't need to be regular daycare dogs to join in the fun.
Breed specific play groups are also coming soon on Sundays. (open to mixes of these breeds, too)

What a great day for the Alburtis Christmas Festival December 6, 2009!
We are hosted the Cold Nose Christmas Parade in the Alburtis Elementary School parking lot. Prizes were
awarded to dogs in three categories: most festive, cutest elf and best Santa look-alike. After the parade, dogs
joined us at the lodge for Santa pictures. Check out our photo album on Facebook for a peek at all the fun. We
will definitely do this again next year. Hopefully, the roads will be clear enough for us to parade all the way back
to the lodge.
Make a New Year's Resolution to train your dog? Sign up for one of our training classes. Check out the
schedules and class descriptions on our classes page. We are now offering Elementary School during the day, for
those with busy evening schedules. We've also added a new boarding school option. Details are on the private
training page. If you don't see a class that fits your schedule, please let us know. We may be able to add another
session in the time you need. Ask our trainers about developing a custom training program for your dog. Our
class registration form is available online. Class Registration form
Over $700 raised! We had a great turn out at our Bark & Wine on Friday, October 23rd at the lodge. We had a
great time, yummy snacks (human and canine), live music and tasting of dog-themed wines. The event was held
to benefit Dogs Deserve Better. We've already started planning our next one on Friday, April 23rd 7-9pm
benefitting No Need for Speed Greyhound Rescue & Adoption. Mark your calendars!
We recommend Jane Caruso Dahms of Contemporary Concepts Photography. Her pictures are hanging in
our lobby, and she has been a great help with our Bark & Wine Events. Visit Jane's Hellertown studio or have
her come to you for a photo session. Your dog will look great! (She does people pictures, too.)

Book now for your Spring Break boarding! At the lodge, your dog can play all day with friends, rather than
spending the day bored in a regular kennel. Stop by any time during our regular hours for a tour. Call or stop by
to set up an appointment to have your dog evaluated for daycare and boarding.
FYI: Canine Influenza (or dog flu) made it's way to Alburtis back in May 2009. Several of our clients contracted
the illness, but most had mild symptoms that mimic kennel cough. Because the test results take some time, we
received confirmation of the disease after everyone was better. There have been no new cases among our clients
since May 20th, and everyone has recovered. We voluntarily closed down for the three day Memorial Day
weekend, and didn't allow any new dogs for daycare or boarding for a full week. For more information on canine
influenza, please speak with your veterinarian or visit www.veterinarypartner.com.
Cold Nose Lodge is now on Facebook and Twitter. "Friend us" to check out our photo albums. Don't forget
to read Betty's blog for the latest puppy gossip, too. www.coldnosebetty.blogspot.com
