| Train and Board - Dallas Hi Yorkie lovers, I am a newish Yorkie mom (Cooper was born May 7, 2013) and I am going out of town this weekend and do not like leaving my furbaby home. This will be the first time he can't go with me and does not have a family member to stay with. I have a two part question. Does anyone have a place they recommend for overnight not kennel feeling boarding in the Dallas area? Has anyone tried All Dogs Unleashed stay and train program? Dog Training Dallas - Dog Obedience Training in Dallas, Texas Area I am having a problem potty training Cooper and he won't come when I want him to (playing games) so I was thinking it might be good to work on his training while I am gone. Are these types of programs good for the yorkies and not just big dogs? They have said he can do 7 days they won't require the full 14 days. Thank you for your suggestions. |

| Hello and welcome! I am from the Dallas area also. I really like the Pooch Hotel in Dallas, my friends poodle stayed there, they are clean, knowledgeable and caring. Pooch Hotel - We Love Dogs I would NOT use dogs unleashed they use shock collars to train their dogs. I would really recommend you going to a training class you can both go to like the ones at petsmart or petco. Half of training is training you to work with your dog, if you have someone else do it while you are gone they will obey that person but not you. It is a great bonding experience.

| Thank you so much. Cooper and I did try all breeds training out at white rock before the weather got bad. I think we will go back there. I do not want a shock collar anywhere near him. I am nervous as it is boarding him. I don't want him to be traumatized. |

| I don't personally agree with sending a dog away for training (except for very specific situations - working large breed dogs, service dogs, etc). Otherwise, training a Yorkie can be done together, to form that bond between you and your dog. You'll get better results.
