kelvin, have u thot y u want max to be free roaming? can u imagine the situation? free roam where? @ the petshop or grooming room if there r cubicles or back portion of the shop or a special play area?
if he has freedom to move about, how long wud that be? whole day except sleeping time or just a few hrs?
does max know how to do marking now? do u think he will pick up the bad habit if he moves ard the boarding place, sniffs here n there, then marks on another dog's pee? or worst still, hv u heard abt the case where a dog cabut lari even inside the cage from a petshop? and the boss din realise?
or sometimes i see some petshops have boarding dogs running freely in their business section, running to walk-in customers etc. Wat if the workers were too busy at a moment n suddenly max is dog-napped coz not all doors r auto-locked. Even if it's auto-lock, usually when leaving the shop, u can press the exit button urself.
For me personally, i'm very selfish. If i decide to send milo for boarding, i wud rather he be caged except during toilet breaks. I dun want any accident to happen. By then, it's too late to kill the person-in-charge. It cant bring back my milo.
Like how mummy Bee says if i cant keep an eye on the bees, i shud put them bk in their crate/playpen. I think this is right coz for example, my bathroom has no door n i keep detergents etc inside. Wat if one Bee ter-lick any of the corrosive solution? the consequence is too much for me to bear. Even milo, my own son, i dun watch him like a hawk so i only know he has been to the trash bin when he brought back a chicken bone to munch in front of me!!
Every place that does boarding, home or shop wud have received many dogs of diff characters. If u go for a home boarding one with garden, max might get a tick or two even with frontline application.
So hor...do u hv anyone u can trust to babysit max for 3 days? ur housemates leh?
What a thoughtful mother.. and I agree on some people may neglected the dogs when they let them roam freely in the shop. That is why not letting them roam around is actually not a bad idea. Ask around to at least find out if they get any good reputation for boarding. If for me, I would never let boarding dogs run around if there are customers... once I can't keep an eye with them, they will be back to their cubicle. Its good enough for them to stretch their body some period a day rather then being confine in one area, be it cage, cubicle or playpen... and if you notice your dogs don't actually runs whole day. They sleep more then runs if they got nothing to do. And from what I observe, most boarding dogs are not energetic then they used to be, when they are in new place. Some even seeks for place to hide if you let them roam
