We have a 2 acre hobby farm and rescue dogs of our own. I have been a dog owner all of my life. I have worked at a dog daycare where I was responsible for kennels, bathing, boarding and daycare dogs. I have also worked for a vet and am very knowledgeable and comfortable with animal health and welfare in general.When a dogs humans must be away, I believe dogs fare better in a loving home rather than in a generic kennel environment. Being a dog lover and owner, I myself would definatly choose home boarding over the standard boarding. Dogs adjust better to changes when stress levels are low. We offer fenced pasture play and long country road walks. Our dogs are crate trained and we never leave the house without a leash. Dogs are the fur family that you get to choose.
