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.
