Q: What Do You Do To Make My Pet Feel Comfortable And Secure?

A: Everything we do here, we do for a practical reason, there’s not a lot of fluff. Its not to sell you, its to care for the dog. Some examples of the type of care we try to develop include:

1. We want to get your dog into a structured routine. So when he is in the run, we won’t put him on a leash, Instead, we will cordon off the aisles so the dog has to follow us into the exercise yard and back inside. We know that he’s got two choices, he can follow us or go back into his run.
   1. Once he decides to follow us, he is showing that he trusts us. Once we have him trusting us, we can manage him in and out.
   2. Once he gets used to that, a day or 2 (usually about 6-8 times), he knows what’s expected of him and becomes much more comfortable.
   3. The primary reason we let them out four times a day is that not only do we want him to poop and pee outside, we want to get him into a structured routine.
2. Background music is played so the animals won’t jump and flinch at every single thing they hear. It provides a backdrop for the dogs so they can rest more comfortably and be less stressed out.
3. We tend to feed a little bit less, because the dogs usually eat a little less when boarded. We want to feed the dogs at the same time every day, primarily in the morning, so all dogs are pooping at about the same time.
4. About 85% of the dogs that board with us do not have any accidents inside. If they don’t have an accident on the first night, it generally will not occur.
5. We tend to the dogs from 6-9AM. Any accidents are cleaned up first thing in the morning. There are usually no more accidents during the day, because the dogs are outside frequently.
