Just had a call from a customer who let their much-loved pet attend another boarding facility (not in this area)... the poor thing came home covered in puncture wounds and depressed.. we here this all the time
PLEASE NOTE: here at GV Kennels, we DO NOT allow dogs to run together, unless they are from the same family, and even then, we monitor them closely.
A Boarding Kennel (any boarding kennel) is a high stress, high arousal environment.
It is imperative to understand that NOT ALL DOGS LIKE OTHER DOGS.. it is also extremely important to know when the arousal is getting too high and when/how to step in to reduce it and distract the dog(s). It is also good to know how to interrupt high arousal play without turning it into frustration or redirected behaviors.
Please put your pets first and ensure the people looking after your family member have an understanding of this and will put your pet's health and wellbeing first.
We have limited spaces available over the Xmas period for dogs and cats.
