"A person can learn a lot from a dog... Marley taught me to appreciate the simple things —
a walk in the woods, a fresh snowfall, a nap in a shaft of sunlight..."
—John Grogan, Marley and Me, 2005
[ Kennel-free dog boarding for your dogs in a natural and tranquil setting ]
Our dog boarding philosophy…
The idea is to keep the dogs in the most natural environment possible. Dogs are pack animals, so their social structure is based on living in a pack with one of them being the pack leader.
When we board dogs, they live with us, roaming free in the house and on the property, but always under supervision of a staff member as their pack leader. This helps to develop the natural social behavior among the dogs and teaches them to accept the human as leader.
Very few dogs have a desire to be the leader of the pack. Most dogs feel more comfortable and safe when they have boundaries set by their owner. In fact, most problem dogs are the result of owners not taking the position of pack leader and as a result, forcing the dog to take a dominate position.
This way of boarding dogs has been proven to be very successful. It develops very happy, well socialized, relaxed, obedient and well- balanced dogs.
