    Boarding 11 m.o. puppy

    @needtobreathe7 Oh! If it’s a person in their house— they might. I thought you meant like a kennel…. We had one of those platform kind of beds and while the dog avoided it, my kid regularly used it as a place to read so it can’t be too bad…. lol

    Boarding 11 m.o. puppy

    @needtobreathe7 They should have the beds that are up off the floor— but not fluffy. Like a little platform. They aren’t soft but they’re also safe. I would personally say the risk of ingesting stuffing or fabric and no one seeing it is greater than the “hard” bed.

    Considering an ACD

    So we currently have a standard collie (10) and a border collie (1). I have been considering a friend for the BC- he really wants to play more than the collie can keep up with.

    Dog Training Post Attack

    @rdmarita I would seriously consider the quality of life for both the dog and your family. Dogs that attack people and need to be muzzled and carried to the car to leave the house are not happy. And your mother deserves to feel safe in her own home. To my mind- for a dog that inflicts that kind...
