I get so sick and tired of hearing, "All boarding kennels are bad, I know this for a fact, because once I left my dog at a bad one." One rotten apple does not make the whole bushel bad. Do some research, look around, ask some questions. A good boarding kennel is a GREAT experience for a dog, and they have a blast there.
You're right, Twisterdog.
There is one boarding facility in the area that I would use if I had to. I have met the owners, and they said I am welcome to come at any time and check the place out, and get a complete tour.
I know the kennel my mother in law used to use here before she moved didn't even let you see the area where the dogs were kept.

I am very fortunate to have found the kid who takes care of our dogs for us. He knows the dogs, knows their routines, and knows who gets along with who, and what to do in the house. He sleeps here with them, and spends time with them when he is here. I love it because I know they are in great hands, and they are home, where they are comfortable.
