We have a 30 lb. miniature Labra-doodle that we would like to board on occasion for a night or two. This is sort of a different dog needing a little extra care. First of all he bites if you try to put his leash on, men can usually get it on but women don't have a chance for the most part. At 8 years old he is still pretty high energy and needs room to run around or at least 4 walks per day. He can not be put in a cage or crate, He is also very spoiled and only eats dry food mixed with cooked meat, and he will only drink from a freshly filled water bowl and will not go near a community water bowl. Otherwise he is a very lovable dog needing lots of belly rubs, he likes his treats that he will do trick to get, he does not shed at all, and he has not had an indoor accident since he was a puppy. If you know someone that would like to try him out for a day to see if he will fit in, or if you know a cage free boarder that you think can give him a lot of exercise time, please let us know. One last thing, as long as we are not present he gets along very well with dogs his size or smaller but does not get along with larger dogs at all, he was attacked and injured by one when young and ever since wants nothing to do with them. Thanks for any help.

I'm not sure if this is serious. Perhaps, you should be looking for a dog trainer.

Tried that several times over the years to no avail.

Sounds more like a spoiled child who has been allowed to have their way....perhaps the "parents" should be more involved personally in the training. A dog will not be obedient if the person giving the commands isn't letting the dog know who is in charge. Treat training doesn't do a very good job at doing this.

Also if you treat the dog like a person the dog is training you. Good luck finding a sitter.

We had no problem finding boarding for him before moving here and when we go back to visit family in Ohio he fits in very well in the cage free boarding facility that he has been using for years. To give the reasons he bites here based on the information given to us by his trainers would take too long, he is what he is genetically, there are many facilities in this state that will have no problem with him at all and I'm simply asking if anyone knows of a cage free boarding facility. I will state that the trainers all stated that it was not something we did in the early stages of training, we did exactly what we were taught to do, the same training we used on several other dogs, this one is a lot more complicated. He's not aggressive to the point he will attack someone or another dog, women cannot put a leash on him, other than that he's great, quirky but great. Rather than going off topic with replies, if you don't have the information I need it is better that you don't reply at all. Thank you for understanding.

I have a very special needs Great Dane.
I got him as a 5 year old rescue.
He had a pretty rough life.
I had to go into the hospital for about 6 days for a surgery last summer.
I took him here.......

Village Pet Villas | Pet Boarding
They were glad to take him in.
They aren't the cheapest, but your dog will have his own private room indoors with T. V. and bed. Yes I said TV. LOL
Give them a call, tell them your dogs needs. Hope they can help you.

I only get recuse dogs, they need second chance, being they were improperly trained or abused, with them you inherited there problems. Yes, just like having baby or small child, very needy. Good luck finding any good and caring border. Nobody really knows what goes on behind closed doors?

You may want to try Leah of TrinityK9.rocks. (352) 727-3354 She does all kinds of training but is also a canine behavior therapist, which includes “canine manner refinement and behavior modification and management”. I can personally vouch that she is amazing. She was referred to me by my vet, for which I am very thankful.

How deep are your pockets ? Anyone doing that for a dog for a couple days would want a large fee. This sounds like a serious need for a dog trainer,

[FromNY]

What about a pet sitter in your own home? Ask your vet for recommendations?

[Carlsondm]

Why not try Rover.com. Locate different pet services and interview a few. You may want someone to come to your house daily and walk and play with your dog.

You might want to consider Behavior Specialists, since trainers are not helpful for some issues that your furbaby have. I hope you find a good boarding place for your fur baby.
