We have noticed over the years that dogs take about three full days to adjust to their new environment. A lot of people want to bring the dog in for just one day to see if they like it, but this does not make a difference to the dog and can make them more upset. The best method to prepare your dog for boarding is simply tell them bye and you will see them later, and let us immediately take the dog into their kennel area. Drawing out the process will only make the dog more nervous and upset. Please note that bringing their own bedding or “scent” has no effect on the dogs’ adjustment period or nervousness. Our nurturing care and exuberant play time will provide them all the help they need!
