Finding a safe, reliable place for your dog to stay is necessary if you leave for long periods on vacation or work trips. Canine Cowboy offers dog boarding facilities in Aubrey, Texas, for various dog breeds and sizes. Here are a few ways to help your dog feel more comfortable when they are away from home:
Initial Consultation
Canine Cowboy offers meet-and-greet opportunities for our clients so that they can help determine if our dog boarding facility is the right fit. During the meet-and-greet appointment, your dog will come to the facility and explore our kennel-free environment. We will evaluate how well your dog interacts with our staff and other dogs. This initial consultation allows your dog to become comfortable in a new environment and with our team members, helping mitigate any nerves.
Gradual Separation
If your dog becomes nervous when staying away from home for long periods, start the boarding process with short overnight stays. Drop off your furry friend at our boarding facility overnight or use our daycare services. During these short stays, your dog will interact with our team and become familiar with the sights and smells. You can then gradually increase the duration of your vacations as your dog becomes more comfortable with our environment. Use our services for multi-day or week-long work trips and vacations if necessary.
Maintain Routines
Share any information about your dog’s routine with our staff members. Their schedule may involve specific times for eating, sleeping, and playing. We can help your furry friend stick to that schedule as closely as possible when you are away. Providing us with some of your dog’s preferred food during their stay also helps maintain a consistent routine.
Enrichment Activities
Enrichment activities help dogs stay mentally and physically active, helping reduce stress caused by unfamiliar environments. Your dog can enjoy various activities at our boarding facility, including sandboxes, a ball pit, and DogTV. These activities help to keep them occupied and expend energy while playing and interacting with other dogs. Regular play time during boarding may also improve your pet’s behavior while you are away.
Regular Communication
You can contact our staff at any time with questions or to check how your dog is doing. We provide photo updates so you can see how your pet is getting along with the other dogs. Dogs are separated according to breed and size, which helps increase safety for your pet. Our trained staff is also prepared to help with your dog’s ongoing education. They can manage dogs of various temperaments, activity levels, and play styles to help pets build confidence and guide their behavior.
