Hello
Not posted very much here since I lost my beautiful girl 2 years ago. We got a JRT 14 months ago, and we are at the stage that we want to consider putting him in kennels for the first time, just for 3-4 nights whilst we have a short break (we both lost our Mums last year so really feel like we need a break now abroad although we have had 3 short UK breaks with him)
How do you best choose kennels? In my mind I want somewhere that will be
1. Secure and safe - I am terrified of him being stolen or escaping
2. Knowledgeable and patient - he hates having doors closed on him so they will need to do what we suggest rather than try something different, He doesn't like some other dogs, loves others. Mainly barks +++ at Labs, Collies, Cockerpoos....that size of dogs, generally OK with smaller dogs
3. meet his / our needs
4. Clean
I have been to see a couple and have come away worrying about their safety.....and I know that this is something I need to get over but until I do I need to know he can't escape, and that they are secure when there are no staff around.
Thank you
