How to prepare your dog for their stay in a boarding kennel:

• Her health check, vaccinations, and heartworm medication should be up-to-date.
• Make sure she is flea-free
• Teach her to sit before being petted or fed so the kennel helpers won't have to worry about her darting out the gate or spilling the food
• Teach her to walk quietly on a leash if the kennel staff will take her for a walk
• Socialize her to the attentions of strangers, especially if she needs medication or grooming
• Make sure she's accustomed to a crate in case she needs to be transported to the veterinarian or housed in a crate at the kennel.
• If she has any health problems, is not reliably housetrained, hates men or other dogs, is likely to eat the kennel run, or has any other problems or idiosyncracies, you should alert the kennel staff.
• If the kennel doesn't feed the food you use, bring along a supply that will last 'til you get home.
• A few basic manners won't hurt, either. Sassy should sit and stay when asked so the kennel worker can open the run to give her food and water, pick up feces, or give her a pill. If she's going to get a daily walk, she should be trained to walk without tugging on the leash. If she's supposed to be groomed or get a bath before you get back, make sure she'll stand quietly in the tub and won't try to bite the groomer who trims her nails.
