Structured Boarding:
Confident K9Z runs a structured boarding experience for your dogs needs. You might be curious what a structured boarding day looks like! During their stay, I keep up with all their training like leash skills, recall, house manners and more. Dogs are crated at night, if I need to run out, or after exercise/socials for a rest. Other than that, they're enjoying belly rubs, and being part of the family inside the home. Social time is always supervised, no poor manners allowed during socials (gang up, mounting etc). I want to teach, and continue to reinforce good social interactions. Waiting at thresholds is something I also work on, this means no bolting out doors when they open, this is for your dogs safety. Why I don't run a free for all boarding experience - It teaches poor social manners, doesn't teach your dog an off switch, reinforces unwanted behaviours and more.
Pick up/Drop off:
Confident K9Z offers both pick up, and drop off for no additional cost. Of course, you may also pick up, and drop off yourself. Drop off can be at anytime. When you arrive please give me a text or call, I will come meet you outside to grab your pup. Please make sure your dog is wearing a collar/harness etc that they cannot slip out of. If you don't have that, please let me know and I will have one ready. Dogs stay in my home, just like my own dogs. I do not allow tours of my home, but I am more than welcome to either video, or send photos of the areas your dog will be sleeping/staying. References are available upon request.
Vaccinations:
All dogs must be UTD on their vaccinations. Vaccination papers can be sent to confidentk9z18@outlook.com.
Bordetella: Yearly.
Distemper: 1-3 Years.
Rabies: 1-3 Years.
Feeding:
All clients are asked to bring their own food. If possible, please bring your food in a tupperwear/container/bin. No glass containers. I also ask that you bring any other special food, or medications the dog may need with written instructions. You do not need to bring bowls, as we have plenty - including slow feed. We are also RAW FRIENDLY!
Sleeping:
All dogs must be comfortable staying in a crate, all dogs are crated for bed, including my own. Each dog will get their own blanket/bed in their crate - unless they destroy them. Dogs will also be crated if I need to run out, or after a social/play session for a rest. You're more than welcome to bring a blanket, or stuffy that they love! This gives them a little scent from home. Must be machine washable.
Walks/Outings:
During the day your dog will partake in group walks/social time, private walks, or outings depending on whats best for your dogs needs. Some days we may just walk around the neighborhood, other times we head out to the farm, trail hikes, swim days, and more. Your dog will always get two private walks a day, along with their potty breaks and off leash area time.
Forms:
I ask that our waiver & vet release be filled out, and sent back to Confident K9Z. Let me know your email, and I will send those right over! In the meantime please fill out the pet information form found HERE.
Payments:
For payments we accept cash or EMT. EMT can be sent to confidentk9z18@outlook.com A 20% non refundable deposit will need to be made upon booking your boarding spot. The rest is due at the end of your pups stay. An invoice, and receipt will be sent for your records.
Cancellation Policy:
I understand things arise, and some things cannot be avoided. If you need to cancel a overnight stay, please let me know as soon as possible. I do require 48hrs notice to cancel an overnight stay without being subject to a fee. If 48hrs notice is not given, you will be charged 50% of your booking fee. I appreciate your understanding.
