Kennels or home-boarding?

Bookings are starting to fly in after the Christmas break with most people telling me that they really don't want to put their dogs into kennels. I think that kennels are the only option for some dogs whose energy and excitement would not suit home boarders who have families and their possessions to consider.

I have had some very challenging dogs to board but thanks to my training background I can usually calm them down using my formula for a balanced dog which I am putting onto this blog as and when I'm able! Other boarders rely on the dogs being suitable for their environment and that is where I have to select the dogs accordingly.

Returning to the original point, kennels are the best environment for this type of dog until appropriate training can calm the behaviour. I also think that the odd day here and there around other dogs and noise and confusion can give your dog a little more mental experience and allow them to accept things they may not have experienced before!

If you want a recommendation for kennels then I will happily recommend Ninestones kennels at wishaw. Jane will Walk your dog twice a day and they will be kept in clean and safe accommodation. Call Jane or steve on 01675 470274
