Guest tbutera2112 Posted July 1, 2010 Report Share Posted July 1, 2010 If you got him trained through me he could be boarded with me and you would know he would be getting pack walks, and his obedience/commands would be utilized on a daily basis. I agree with you though, I don't like standrd boarding facilities. There is no constructive interaction bewteen the handler/kennel owner and the dog. we boarded my dog at the vet and they said they only let them out of the pins one time per day!! they take them out to use the bathroom one time per day and then just lock them up and forget about them....you can pay extra to have them taken out more than once, but you pay per time...my dog is an old dog and shes never been boarded before then, so we paid extra for them to take her out more...she would die only using the bathroom once per day lol...we wont be boarding her again unless we absolutely have to, but since my dad passed we dont have anyone to look after her if we go places Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my gf's practice the dog gets 15 minutes in a 15x15 outdoor run 4 times per day and taken out to potty 2 more times. They also won't gaurantee it, but if you have a really nice dog the assistants will usually get your dog out a few more times during the day and play with them. They straight up admit though that they are only there for short term boarding, like going on vacation for one week once per year, not people who need their dog boarded multiple times per year. The kind of boarding Kapok is doing sounds like a good thing for people who go out of town a lot, there need to be more boarding places like that.

PM me when you guys are closer to going. They don't schedule very far out and only have like 10 spots (5 runs 5 cages). I've heard good things about the Big Walnut veterinary clinic or whatever just north of westerville on 3 if you are really set on boarding her at a vet.

The only concern we had is that they do not require any vaccines for any of their dogs. As long as your dog is vaccinated it shouldn't be a problem, but that still really concerned my gf.

That's why when I need to go out of town I don't like taking them to standard boarding kennels. It seems there are two options for boarding dogs, both of which I think suck. 1.) is you take them to a place where 90% of the time they are in a kennel and let out a couple times at best. Is this cruel; imho no, but it's not beneficial either. 2.) is places like doggy daycare where they let all the dogs frolic and play and yada yada yada. The problem with that is the fact that because of the combination of the dogs not have any fomal obedience training or having respect for authority and the people running these places are not PROPERLY supervising the socialization, dog fights bereak out and in in some cases the people get bit trying to break it up. That option is terrible too. This is why any dog I board HAS to be obedience trained and preferably by me. The dogs get exercise, and SUPERVISED socialization with other dogs in the form of pack walks, chilling out togther, etc. Because I only do this on the side out of my home righ tnow I am very limited in what I can do and how many dogs I can take at a time but when I move and have my own facility and do this full time I hope to offer a wide aray of services indluding but not limited to obedience training, behavior modification, boarding, puppy pre-schools (not the pets mart versions), and a form of constructive day care.

Stolen 98 Posted July 4, 2010 Report Share Posted July 4, 2010 After reading all this...I'm really bummed you didn't keep the dog. A beautiful dog wondering up on your porch out of thin air and staying kind of a fate thing. Call the people and ask for him back. They'll understand.

PM me info please! He growled and it worked so he positively reinforced himself for it. Doesn't mean the dog can't be trained and be a great dog. If the dog growled at her and he is giving up that easily than I agree she shouldn't have the dog at all but now this dog is going to be labeled as an aggressive dog and going to be even harder to find a home for. Whoever takes this dog GET HIM TRAINED! And not this I give him a cookie and he sits stuff, I mean get him trained by someone who knows what they are doing. If it's not through me I couldn't care less, just get it done by someone/somewhere. I can even recommend some places/people if you don't want to go through me but get this dog trained.
