I'd like to meet the dog(s) first to make sure everyone will be happy and safe with Boarding and Daycare visits. *Rosie stays home for Drop-in's and Walk visits.* - What is the dogs temperament? Are they generally calm, relaxed, silly, feisty, sweet, independent, lazy, hyper, curious, shy, old, grumpy? etc. - What is the dogs history? - Do they like to cuddle up or do they like to be mostly left alone and not touched/pet too much. (Some like to be left alone which is understandable) - What is their favorite way to play? Catch, Fetch, Tug, maybe some like to be left alone with just a Kong.. - Favorite toy? Ball, frisbee, ropes, chew toys, plush toy, squeaky toys, Kongs, bones/hides? - Any special commands or key words I should know? When to reward? - Any behaviors I should be aware of? paw licking/nervous licking, - Any warning signs of any kind I should know? What are their signs if they must go potty or if they start to get upset? How will I know? What can I do? - Are they leash trained? Can they be walked comfortably without fighting it? - Do they require special food/treats for their diet? *if so, please bring it with you. - Are they food/toy possessive? - Are they especially nervous in new areas? *Bring one of their toys or a familiar object from home please. Bring their blanket or bedding for familiarity and comfort away from home. - Are the food/ treat/ toy aggressive when around other dogs?

I want to be sure that they are up to date on their flea/tick/other prevention's, vaccinations, etc. for the health and safety of the dogs before the dogs spend time around each other. *- Meeting first is the best way to be sure that the dogs will get along before the booking. Some dogs wont get along so its best to find out before they've been dropped off with us. - - Tick prevention is a must out here!! - - I want to be sure that they are up to date on their flea/tick/other prevention's, vaccinations, etc. for the health and safety of the dogs. - - Potty breaks can be every half hour if necessary, here! - - Weather permitted they can sit outside with me and enjoy the fresh air.
