Home Boarding Standards

Guest Dog Criteria

Because all dogs stay in our home and we sometimes have other guests staying, it’s important that all visitors conform to basic standards so that everyone has a pleasant stay.

All guests …

To ensure a safe, relaxed, and happy environment for every dog in our care, all visiting dogs must meet the following criteria:

Age Requirement Should be at least 18 months old;
Size & Weight Weigh no more than 25kg;
Reliable Recall Should respond to its name, and come when called;
Calm Temperament Should not be excessively nervous;

Have no behavioural issues, i.e.:

  • a Not be aggressive towards people or other animals,
  • b Have no separation anxiety,
  • c Be perfectly house-trained, including no ‘little accidents’,
  • d Not enjoy excessive barking, particularly at night.

We like to have a calm home where everyone enjoys their stay.

If your dog fits these criteria and you want to know more, contact us to arrange a test walkies.
