A home away from home, what more could a dog ask for? When these pet owners go on vacation<\/a>, they need a place for their dog to feel comfortable. And some people think it's a very good idea to step in and help their friends out. But beware, dog boarding is not for everyone<\/a>.<\/p>\nThings to Know About Dog Boarding<\/h3>\n
\n
\nIf you have a dog that needs to be boarded, don't let your friends who have not trained their dogs and cats take care of your dog. Mostly, the untrained pets might not take to the dog, and your poor dog will be hiding in a corner, very uncomfortably. This advice goes for animal boarders as well. You cannot board untrained animals and trained animals in the same room unless they are kept in cages. Because sometimes if the pets roam free, they will try to run away. They just sense the unfamiliar territory and animals then know that they are not home. Older animals might be accustomed to changes of scenery, and these will be all right with new furry friends.<\/li>\n
\nWhen boarding dogs, it is alright to keep them in cages for the night<\/a>. Also, make sure that their cage has their water and food bowl. The animals can be led back to the bowl after walks and will like having their area. This is best practice for dog boarding.<\/li>\n
\nThis is a full-time endeavor<\/a>, and the more dogs one takes on, the more time-consuming it will be. These dogs need to be walked once or twice a day<\/a>. Doing less is inhumane. However, a person cannot have five dogs on a lease on the same walk. Usually, even two is a handful. So basically, the pet boarder will always be walking the dogs throughout the day on a rotational basis. Regular walking routines take an incredible organization.<\/li>\n
\nObviously, a person needs a business license to do this as an organization. That means that the company should be equipped with everything it needs. It will take some time to make those large sized cages and figure out a good location. It is a huge responsibility to be responsible for dogs even on vacation. Make sure that you have enough staff for all the dog walking involved.<\/li>\n
\n<\/strong>If you want a good business, then you must think outside the box. One way to do that is to provide large cages for the dogs. These large cages will be their little room, and so it must be a size that the owner wouldn't be shocked to see. Think about the dog's needs, and how it would like to stretch out. That's why the cages should be more like mini rooms. Don't be greedy with space, because that will honestly wreck your business and is incredibly inhumane.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
