Expert Profile: Lani O'Brian

Expertise:  I can answer basic questions such as: "Why does my dog act like this when dropping off?" "What should I look for in a boarding kennel?" "What questions should I ask the kennel at which I'm going to board?" "What are tips for boarding, to make it easier on my dog and myself?" I can tell you what your pet is about to face when boarding. Some do's and don'ts during boarding. I also can answer questions about cat boarding and some small animal boarding.

Experience in the area
I've worked with pets since I was in highschool. I worked at a boarding kennel and I dog sat for a number of clients. Nine years ago I opened my own boarding kennel.

Education/Credentials
2 years of biology college courses. Business major.

What do you like about this subject?  I love seeing people when they pick up their pets after a long trip. It makes all the poop scooping well worth it.
What do you still hope to achieve/learn in this field?  I added Doggy Daycare about 1 1/2 years ago. Grooming 3 years ago. I hope to update my kennel to include more 'suites' and make it a little fancier. I also would like to look into adding on to include training.
