We also do not leave them alone at all. We are with your dogs 24 hours a day. The larger commercial San Diego dog boarding facilities take in a large number of dogs and your dogs may not get that much attention. Some of the larger San Diego dog boarding facilities leave your dogs alone all night.  

Our dog boarding San Diego home is a vacation for your dogs. There is always someone with them at all times giving them attention and love. They get to play all the time with us and our other dogs. You do not have to worry about a strange dog sitter in your house. A dog sitter may only visit your house a few times a day. By having your dogs stay with us at our dog boarding home you will not have to worry about your dog or your house.

Your dogs will get plenty of exercise; we go for long daily walks and they get regular play at no extra charge.
Our dog boarding San Diego home is fully fenced to keep your dog/s safe. We take your dogs outside most of the day so your dogs can roam around, sniff, sunbathe, play with the other dogs or do what they want. We are always with your dogs to supervise them at our dog boarding home so you won’t have to worry.

Dog boarding can be stressful for your dog. A change in diet can add to the stress on their body, possibly
resulting in diarrhea or vomiting. The best way to prevent this is for you to bring your dog’s regular food. We do
not charge any extra fees for special diets. We are even raw food diet capable. We can’t stress enough the
importance of feeding your dog their regular food. If your dogs are known not to eat well while boarding, please bring along something that can be added to their food to make it more desirable. Only if its something they are used to having as a treat. We will give you a dog boarding form to fill out giving us instructions on feeding your dogs.

Our dog boarding home is cage and kennel free. We do not  put your dogs in small rooms or leave them outside either. They stay in our home with us and have free range. We only take non aggressive dogs. We are there to supervise the dogs to make sure they interact well with each other and do not get over stimulated.  

Our dog boarding home monitors your dogs constantly. We look out for their appetite, water intake, urination and defecation. If your dogs vomits, has diarrhea or any other problems we will make a note and let you know. If your dog becomes very sick or injured we will make a call to you or your emergency contact right away. We have you fill out a dog boarding veterinarian release with your vet’s information so we can go to your veterinarian, if it’s not too far for your dogs medical needs. Otherwise we are close to several veterinarians and an emergency veterinarian hospital.

We only charge a base dog boarding fee per night per dog. We do not base our fee on the size or type of dog
you have. We do not have any hidden costs or add-ons, such as fees to feed your dog a special diet, administer
medications or take your dog for extra walks. If your dogs are chronically ill or need injections you will have to
consider boarding them with a veterinarian.   
Try to bring your dogs to our dog boarding home during the day. It is less stressful for dogs to visit a new place while it is light out.

Make reservations well in advance. If you wait too long, our dog boarding home may
be booked. Remember we only take a small number of dogs.

Remember to bring food, leashes and bedding/s if you have it. It’s something familiar and it has the smell of your home and can give your dogs more comfort.

Remember to bring all of the medications that your dogs will need during their stay at our
dog boarding home.  Clearly label all vials, make sure there are enough tablets for the
duration of the stay. Describe feeding and provide clear medicating instructions on our dog boarding forms.

Please do not bring any toys or balls. We have toys and balls at our dog boarding home.
They are neutral and will not cause possessive problems.

Make sure to fill out and bring all the dog boarding forms we give you. Make sure to give us all your contact numbers, plus local emergency contacts in case you cannot be reached.

Dog Trainer Says Owners Hold Blame For Dog Attacks

Modoc's Comments:

Dogs do need to be trained, there is no doubt about it. If a dog is not trained
and socialized properly it will have problems. It really does not matter the
breed either. Dogs that are known to be good and nice dogs can be
aggressive if not trained correctly. Dogs that have been trained correctly even
if they are known to be the kind of dog that is aggressive can be the most
gentlest. This article has a lot of truth to it. Read this article and make sure
you are dealing with you dog correctly.

By ABC-7 Reporter Vanessa de la Viña

LAS CRUCES, N.M. -- Las Cruces has seen several pit bull attacks in the past
few weeks, including one that resulted in the death of a baby girl. One trainer
who specializes in handling aggressive dogs told ABC-7 it's not the breed of
the dog that matters, it's what they're taught by the owner. April Oxford trains
all breeds of dogs, and she said preventing dog attacks comes down to
teaching the canines some manners. Oxford spends most of her days training
breeds like pit bulls, rottweilers and German shepherds how to behave. She
said many of these "bullying-type" dogs have the tendency to lash out when
they're scared, but owners need to teach them not to.

Dogs help researchers track turtles

Modoc's Comments:

Box turtles are in danger of going extinct. Researchers have been collecting
the turtles and studying them to find out what is the cause. Their best way to
collect the turtles is the use of dogs. Dogs can find more turtles then the
researchers ever could. A man by the name John Rucker found out his dogs
were great at finding the turtles and bringing them back to the researchers.
The dogs are Boykin Spaniels. They have a soft bite and do not hurt the
turtles. This story is a great read check it out.

By Tracy Moss for News Gazette

OAKWOOD — It's sunny and cool early Wednesday morning in a quiet, mostly
empty campground at Kickapoo State Park. John Rucker sits at a picnic table
next to his tent eating his usual in-the-field breakfast of oats and raisins. His
turtle-hunting dogs spent the night close by in makeshift pens in the back of
Rucker's well-worn 1992 red minivan that's logged more than 400,000 miles
across 10 states, carrying Rucker and his dogs to various turtle-hunting jobs.
Sometimes oats are also lunch and supper for Rucker. It's difficult to take
eight Boykin Spaniels to a local restaurant or hotel. So Rucker, who prefers "a
tent to anything," makes do at local campgrounds, like the one at Kickapoo
where he's spent the last three nights with little more than a tent, his van, a
little food, a couple water containers, a few bags of clothes and a guitar.

Disagreeable people 'prefer aggressive dogs'

Modoc's Comments:

Researchers have found out that we do match our dogs. People that are more
likely to be aggressive are more likely to pick a dog that is known to be
aggressive. The opposite is true with people that tend to be less aggressive
will get a dog that is known to be nice. The study used more then 200 people
with a standard psychological personality tests. It was conclusive that the
personality matched the dog they would want to have. Check out this article it
is very interesting.

By www.bbc.co.uk

"Less agreeable" people are more likely to prefer dogs associated with
aggression, according to psychologists. A study at the University of Leicester
compared human personality type with the breed of dog they would choose.
Dogs with a reputation for aggression were more popular with people who
were "less concerned with the needs of others and quicker to become hostile".
Researchers say the results support the idea that dogs are likely to match
their owners.

Nearly 1,000 dogs now sick from jerky treats, FDA reports say

Modoc's Comments:

It seems that the chicken dog treats from China are still making dogs sick.
This has been going on for a while now. You really have to be careful when
you buy any type of dog food or treats made in China. You have to look very
hard all over the package to find out where these items are made. They have
sent officials over to China to check on these dog treats but have not made
any statements yet. Read this article and be more informed about the
products for dogs made in China.

By JoNel Aleccia for Msnbc.com

Nearly 1,000 dogs reportedly have been sickened by chicken jerky pet treats
from China, according to a new tally of complaints from worried owners and
veterinarians submitted to federal health officials. The Food and Drug
Administration has logged 900 reports of illnesses and deaths since
November, when it warned owners about continued problems with the
products known variously as chicken jerky strips, treats and nuggets, a
spokeswoman said.
