After choosing the best kennel for your dog, dropping them off can be difficult for both of you. Even a well-trained dog can become restless during their boarding experience. They will feel lonely and anxious in that strange place.
It is not suitable to think like a human in this situation. Dogs don’t feel nauseous or hopeless in a strange place without any known face. They get insecure and face a certain level of depression when being left in a completely new environment.
Although dogs are friendly and get comfortable quickly, many feel lost during their stay.
Dogs are very loyal and dependent on their guardians for security and reassurance. We should talk to the staff in front of them with only positive body language to ensure that they are safe.
There are several thoughts in their mind; let’s try to fit in their shoes and try to answer the question that might be in their minds.
Dogs are the most innocent and well-mannered creatures you will ever see. They will notice every movement of their owners and mostly remember the routine. They will learn when you’re going out in the morning and returning in the evening.
When you drop your fluffy companion at the boarding facility and they don’t see you in the evening. They will inspect that something is wrong and maybe you have abandoned them. They might also think that something terrible has happened to you and you will never come back and take them home again.
When you leave your dog in a boarding facility for the first time, it might take time to adjust and trust the staff. They may be confused and anxious.
It is uncommon for dogs to be left in a boarding facility. They start to eat less than usual due to anxiety and stress. They face this kind of trauma because dogs are shy and highly attached to their owners.
They usually don’t feel comfortable there because a boarding facility is hosting many animals. The loud noises bother them and the presence of other dogs is inconvenient.
There is nothing we can do about it. Even if you leave your little companion alone in the house, it will be stressful for the both of you.
We all are aware of the fact that dogs do miss us. It is proved several times by how dogs react when they meet their owners after a long day away from them. Dogs usually don’t react like humans. They will bark, destroy things or even cry about how much they are missing their human friend.
The emotions of dogs are a little complex because they can’t understand the situation. When you leave your dog in the boarding facility, it won’t be missing only you but their home, favorite sleeping place, and the toys too.
But there is no need to worry about it, as they will forget all about you in a week or two. The most exciting thing is when you both will reunite, and you can pick them up to cuddle them. You can compensate for your absence by giving them extra time when you come back and play with them.
A day at Miss Emily’s always beats a lonely and boring day at home alone for your dog or cat!

Before filling out our registration form, please directly inquire with us IF:
You have a larger breed dog, or suspect that your dog(s) might be a part of breed restrictions. We are a smaller facility, therefore, are limited as to how many larger dog breeds we can accommodate and accept within the program.
If your dog has more serious medical conditions, or requires multiple steps of medication. Our staff is well trained, and can accommodate routine medications, but for more serious attention, it is accepted on a case by case basis.
If you are looking for boarding within the week. We require a Trial Day for any dog(s) who are new to the facility, due to the nature of our safe socialized program. This is complimentary, but must be prescheduled. If you are looking for more immediate boarding, or other services, please call us to see if we can accommodate.
