Know and trust board Miami/Austin?

    I'm thinking of taking a road trip with my fun and friendly 3year old.
    I may fly and board him here in Minneapolis, but…
    Please let me know if suggestions...
    Thanks.

    I suppose you don't have any good friends or family that will watch him while you're away? Do you have a Kennelwood Village or anything like that? I've seen alot of boarding places that are actually more like a home away from home. They have more like condo spaces for the dogs with televisions and play time and daily walks. It gets on the expensive side but you'll be more assured that he's happy.

    Tell me more about your furbaby personality and how long you will be gone.
    There's also the new boarding place at the airport run by the humane society.

    take him in to the kennel for a weekend. It will cost you some $$ but you will be able to see if he can "handle it" or you will have to get someone to move in and keep company with him.

    Magnum's breeder is always willing to board. I've only had to do it once (for four days), but he came back his normal, happy self. Although I'm sure he didn't get the human lovin' he gets here at home, he got a lot of doggy interaction, which he doesn't get here at home. Since Mag's breeder is within a 1/2-hour drive from us, it was a no brainer. I realize that that's not generally possible, but, if you're close enough, it's definitely something to check out. Also, since we didn't get Magnum 'til he was over a year old, he was very acclimated to his breeder's environment. When we dropped him off, he was so happy to see his breeder and her family and his old-time buddies, he didn't even wave good-bye to us ;) . That was important to me, too. And the rate of $5 a day didn't hurt either.

    We always board at the same place. Our dogs tolerate it pretty well. They have indoor/outdoor runs. I prefer that because I would like the dogs to be handled as little as possible. The only one who doesn't do all that well, is Querk. He always loses weight when we are gone, but he still eats his normal amount of food. The owner has to walk him around the property to get him to poop…he will hold it for days if not, and then he explodes, and it is just not good. But each time, he has gotten more comfortable. Ideally, I think we would have someone come and stay with him in the house, and board the girls. With having to keep some of the females separate, I just don't trust anyone else to not mess it up.
