| Boarding 1st time We are planning a trip this summer and I'm looking at some places to board my Latte. Any advice? A friend and I are going to visit some local places later this month. I live in the High Desert if anyone out there does and knows of a good place. |

| Welcome to YT. You will find it a very friendly and informative place to hang out. I know of about 3 or 4 of us who live here locally in the high desert. |

| I visited some local kennels, met the staff and asked lots of questions. Things like, "do you take them out of their crate/kennel to walk and play? Is the building secure? Does it have a generator and sprinkler system? Is anyone on site/on the grounds at night? I took a tour and looked at the cleanliness of the kennels, the set up, whether or not dogs can both socialize and have their own private space, etc, whether it was too hot or too cold, etc. I ended up choosing the kennel that my puppy school training is done at. This kennel also does train and board, so if I have training issues with Gracie, they can be worked on while I am away. Good luck with your search and I hope that it results in peace of mind while you are away.

| Boarding 1st time A couple of places my friend and I are considering don't have cages, which would be great. I don't like to think of her in a cage all day. She's way too cute for that! |

| Make sure you get your kennel cough(from your vet) if your baby is going to be around a lot of other dogs. You dont want them to catch any thing, while there being Boarded. |

| Yep! I will. I was very impressed with the paperwork required for the one place I saw. They had a lot of specific information required including vet signatures on the shot records. My friend has a lab she wants to board, so were looking together. (but then I think, "Why aren't we just watching each other's dog?") |
