Dog Boarding/Kenneling/Expert Profile


Ask A Question

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. Degree in Business.

What do you like about this subject?

I love seeing people reunited with their pets.

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 gain the knowledge and include training.
