Okay, here is my sharing about boarding training for dogs:
So I have a dog, a super energetic husky. I love him, but man, this guy needs a ton of exercise and attention. I work full time, and my partner works part-time. So we decided to try out boarding training for him. It’s like a doggy boot camp, and they go there to learn stuff and stay for a while. We found a well-reviewed place near our house, and it has over 22k online reviews. I thought, “Okay, this place looks pretty legit.”
The First Day
I packed my dog’s favorite blanket, some toys, and his regular food. I dropped him off at the facility. The staff were friendly. I felt a little bit sad leaving him, but I knew it was for the best. They assured me that they would send updates and photos of him during the day.
During the Stay
- I received daily updates on my phone. They sent me pictures of my husky playing with other dogs and practicing commands.
- They told me he was a quick learner, and enjoyed the training sessions.
- I called them a couple of times to check in, and they were always happy to answer my questions. They explained he had gotten top-tier care.
Picking Him Up
After two weeks, I went to pick up my dog. He was excited to see me. But I noticed a big difference in his behavior. He was calmer, more obedient, and seemed happier overall. The trainers gave me a rundown of everything they had worked on with him. They showed me how to continue the training at home.
Final Thoughts
Honestly, I was skeptical at first. But boarding training turned out to be a great experience for both me and my dog. He learned a lot, and I got some much-needed peace of mind. I would recommend it to anyone who’s struggling to manage their dog’s behavior. It’s like sending your kid to a summer camp, but for dogs. It just made a big difference in our lives.
I hope this sharing can help you.
