It’s never easy to be away from your dog for an extended period, especially when they’re still a puppy. It may seem convenient when you’re leaving for a trip of some kind to just leave the dog at your home and have a sitter come by to walk them and feed them. But it’s far better for your dog to take them to an overnight boarding facility. There are many benefits to overnight boarding, here are just a few of the things your dog will receive:
Improved Social Skills
If you only have one dog and you’ve had them since you were a puppy, he or she may not have much experience interacting with other dogs. Maybe you take them to the dog park or have them around your friend’s dogs, but that’s only for a limited time. Boarding them overnight will give them an opportunity to live with a bunch of other dogs for an extended time. They’ll play together, eat together and even sleep together, helping to build your dog’s social skills
Exercise
It’s not healthy for a dog, especially a young one, to sit around a house all day waiting for one or two walks. Boarding them will give them an opportunity to play outdoors with other dogs for hours at a time, giving them the perfect amount of enrichment.
Attention
When a young dog is left home alone for a long time, he or she is far more likely to wreak havoc in your home and get into trouble. Dogs need love, attention and supervision. That’s exactly what they get with overnight boarding. Experienced professionals will give your dog all the attention it requires in addition to much-needed supervision.
