We don't take puctures often, but here are some of our boarding dogs from this summer. We have had a lot of unique personalities come through. Different, shapes, sizes, colors, and ages. Some already trained, some with a request to receive some training during their stay, or just maintain basic good behavior. The older dogs usually go hang together in their own group and sunbath, the youngins race around chasing and playing, while the reserved and chill personalities usually sit back and watch. Big pack walks are always interesting, but so rewarding as we watch the dogs bond. Our founders children enjoy helping entertain and care for each dog as they learn how to interact with dogs properly, and how to read a dogs body language. Even many of the kid shy dogs have warmed up to the older children. One dog in particular that always struggled with boarding really attached to the oldest child, following him around the yard and would only play ball with him.
While we often do have a good bit of group play, we are also set up to be able to keep dogs that are not friendly with other dogs safe and separate from the group. These dogs typically recieve more one on one time to ensure they are still receiving a rewarding experience.
As safety and security are of prime importance to us, some of the dogs that are nervous being handled, or are prone to trying to escape enclosures, we attach long lines to drag behind them allowing us to give them the space they want and allowing them the most freedom possible. In rare cases where a dog comes through that is new to boarding and very frightened, or for the escape artists, we may keep them on a 6 food leash and hand walk them for all their exercise during their stay. Usually after a few visits they are able to be let off leash for their stay.
Here at Paws in Place, our aim is to create a safe rewarding experience for your dog(s) whether it be a nice country vacation, an activity packed stay, or an opportunity to build their self esteem and confidence.
