Giving Pooches A Holiday Helps Everyone

We all need a change of scenery sometimes but we
always have to consider our canine friends when
we want to go away for a while. Not only will
they be a little lost without their family, they
will also be a little scared of new surroundings.
To this end, it is vital to find a good place to
house them while the family is away and research
on this must be done well in advance of course.
There will be many places advertised on the
internet of course, so for those who want to
check it out, look for 'dog boarding' to see
which ones are closest to your home.

People have to prepare their pets for this kind
of holiday since they too will want to have a
good time away from home. If the pooch is shy
around people, this kind of place will try to
rid the pet of this trait. Likewise, if the pet
is a little unruly, they will also try to calm it
down and train it into good behavior. They will
also train the owner too on return so that the
good work is kept up.

When the pet is dropped off, make sure to take
along something that they know from home. If it
sleeps on a pad, take it there too. If it is
particularly attached to the owner, take along a
sweater or some item of clothing so that it will
know that the owner is not far away. All this
is supposed to make the pooch not feel abandoned
and to it, it will just feel like the owner has
gone out for a while.

These kinds of places are vastly different from
years gone by where the pet would be locked up
in a cage all day and just fed and watered.
These days, they are taken out for some rough
and tumble with the other inhabitants and they
will surely use up a lot of energy doing this.
Once they are brought back in, they are bathed
and checked over to make sure that nothing is
amiss and then bedded down for the night. This
is where the smell of the owner comes in handy
so that they settle faster.

This kind of socializing with other animals
means that the pooch will not suffer mental
stress while the owner is away. Keeping it
occupied and using energy means that it will eat
well and sleep at the proper hours etc. Indeed,
it is only when the owner comes back that it
will realize that something was missing! Check
out these places well in advance and just drop
by unannounced if possible. Those who insist on
strict appointment only viewings are really not
the right place to leave the pet because they
may well be hiding something. Any place worth
its salt will not be put out at all so try as
much as possible for a place like this. As
mentioned earlier, everyone likes a holiday and
the family pet is no exception.
