[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would think it’s best for the dog to do what they do at home. My dogs are not crated ever. I would not want them in crates. I also wouldn’t want them at a house with 10+ dogs either. [/quote]

What is the issue with 10 dogs?  Meaning if they're all known/temperament tested? and supervised?  I agree, it sounds like a lot but I am finding it hard to find anywhere that doesn't have a lot unless it's just a random person watching your dog, but still working, leaving on Christmas etc.

Meaning isn't it similar to doggie daycare? At kennels, during playtime, I read it can be like 50 dogs![/quote]

I guess the thing that I would be most concerned about is that there is adequate space for that many dogs, and that all the dogs were temperament tested. It only takes one bad dog and a few seconds for your dog to get seriously injured. I used to work at a doggy daycare and a dog partly tore another dog's ear off. It happened so fast and nobody really knew what set him off. Also make sure the property is secure, that's a lot of dogs to keep an eye on.

I would also be sure to do a meet and greet before using anyone. When we were trying to find someone to watch our puppy for the first time we did a meet and greet with a lady who had over 100 5 star reviews. Her house reeked of cigarette smoke and cigarette butts were all over her yard. Considering our puppy was eating everything at the time, we decided not to use her. [/quote]

Ugh that's scary! So yes my dog had a trial overnight w her which she requires. And her basement walks out to fenced yard. So at this point, I'm just mostly worried about a dog issue. But she temperament tests and takes only small medium (Which I know means nothing) but it's still probably 14 dogs. She said they like being part of the pack etc.  i also worry about feeding times. The other person I used and loved (but is booked then) crates them for meals and sleeping. This woman doesn't.  [/quote]
