How to Prepare Your Dog for Boarding

Have you decided it’s best for your dog to board and train in Santa Monica or one of the surrounding areas? Then you need to make sure your dog is ready before you show up. Getting a dog ready to be boarded is not the same as just packing them up for a day trip with you. Since you won’t be there, you need to make sure your beloved dog feels safe and secure in the presence of others.

Ways of Helping Prepare Your Dog for Boarding

Before you take your dog to board and train in Culver City or any of the surrounding areas, you need to make sure you have everything in place. First, your dog needs to be well socialized. If your dog has never spent time with another human being other than you, for the last few years, spending time with others is going to stress out your dog. Next, ideally, you want to spend time with your dog at the new location before having a day where your dog is left there. That way, your dog sees that the facility it is going to, is safe and fun. Finally, make sure your dog is up to date on shots before you go in. This is very important for the health of your dog, and for the health of other dogs around them.

Other things to consider before you board your pet is finding a boarding facility that also provides a dog coach. This lets your dog have fun while being trained, even if your dog only thinks he or she is playing. Having a trainer run the facility you board at gives your dog the opportunity to be around people who truly understand your dog and the actions they take. If you want to find a dog boarding facility like this, look into The Loved Dog. You and your dog will be better off for it if you do!
