Did you know that most boarding kennels are staffed by teenagers with zero certifications or qualifications to handle dogs?
Let alone handle dogs with behavioural needs.
Such as dogs that are...
-
Leash reactive.
-
Not comfortable with strangers.
-
Do not like other dogs.
-
Sensitive or easily frightened by new things in the environment.
Many dogs are not comfortable in a kennel environment.
Other dogs have specific needs that require more attention and experienced handling than average kennels and dog sitters can offer.
Or.. you just want to make sure your dog has the best possible experience while you are away.
That is why we have opened our doors to provide a small-scale premium boarding experience for your reactive dog.
You no longer have to worry about whether or not they will have a traumatic incident, are being handled by someone qualified, or are stressed due to non-stop barking and noise.
If your dog qualifies, this will be their home away from home.
Please note: Most reactive dogs and dogs with behavioural issues ARE accepted so long as they are crate and house trained (see below for more information on what that looks like).
Dogs with bite histories on people or severe human reactivity will be required to book an evaluation ($175 investment fee) prior to boarding as well as a trial stay to ensure that Dacapo Dog Club's Premium Dog Boarding is the best fit for them.
Only several dogs are accepted at a time so please be sure to book in advance.
Crate and house training are mandatory to be accepted for boarding.
My aim is for every dog to enjoy a hygenic and peaceful atmosphere so crate and house training is a must.
Some dogs need to be separated from other dogs for the safety of all, and therefore must be crate trained.
A crate trained dog can:
-
Be comfortable alone for several hours during the day as well as night time without excessive whining/barking or attempting to escape.
-
Be crated without excessive whining/barking or attempting to escape or otherwise harming themselves by pawing, digging, crate spinning and so on.
-
Willingly goes into the crate without attempting to struggle, bite, lunge.
