I posted in General Questions & Answers about Louise getting really bad stools after going for boarding for a week, but I wanted to post about the positive effects of boarding. She's so much more confident with other dogs now! She's only 6 months and she's always been pretty great with other dogs aside from two small fear phases, but since we got home from vacation she has this whole new aspect to her personality - she's bouncier and more playful and she isn't scared of barking anymore. She also has a new love for chase games for dogs that are too big for her to wrestle with. This evening she ran around with a gorgeous red Doberman forever and had so much fun without needing to wrestle around.
Anyway, this makes me feel so silly for all the worrying I did about boarding her and I'm so grateful for the people who obviously took really good care of her while I was gone.
