I'd like to keep your dog as relaxed and happy as possible. Here are some things to think about and to do before boarding. Please provide an ample amount of the food he/she normally eats with directions on how much and how often you normally feed your dog. Also, how often does your dog need to go outside for bathroom breaks? Does he/she like to go outside before a meal, after a meal, or both? What times of day is the dog used to going outside and what times do you normally feed him/her? Does your pet have any allergies or dietary restrictions? Are there any specific fears the dog has which I can avoid? Has your dog ever shown aggression to people or other dogs? Has your dog ever bitten anyone? Is your dog possessive of his/her food and needs to eat in a separate area? Does your dog have any favorite toys you'd like to send with him/her? Where does your dog sleep? If you have a bed and/or portable crate for your dog, I would suggest to bring that along for boarding. This will really help your dog feel safe right from the start.

I generally prefer to allow dogs to use the yard rather than walking them off my property. This provides more safety and security for your dog! I do understand that some dogs just need their walks, so just let me know what your dog needs.
