Requirements and Things to Think About Before Registering for BHV.
- Does your dog to great with other dogs? Meaning, does your dog love other dogs and being in communal dog settings? At BHV we require dogs to get along with other dogs. Not sometimes, but all of the time. This helps to ensure that all dogs can have a safe, fun time.
- Is your dog anxious? How does your dog do at home? Are they destructive? Are they anxious when you leave? At BHV we love all dogs, but have found that dogs that have high anxiety do not do well in this environment. BHV is a fast paced fun atmosphere that some dogs just do not want to be a part of. Unfortunately we are not trainers, so curbing this behavior, while in this setting, is something we simply are not qualified for.
- Can your dog be destructive when you leave? At BHV we provide pups with their own luxury suites. These suites have been built to safely house many types of dog personalities. If your dog is a chewer, destructive, anxious, OR displays any or all of these qualities… BHV may not be the right fit. In order for dogs to do well in a boarding/daycare situation, they must be able to be comfortable and non destructive.
- Is your dog healthy? This is a big one. When dogs are not feeling their best, they do not act their best while at BHV. Is your dog wearing a cone? Recovering from surgery? Coming off of an illness but still showing symptoms? BHV may not be the right place at that moment in time. We of course can dispense medications for dogs who are on the up and up, feeling better, but just need to finish some meds. However, when your dog isn’t feeling great and the vet doesn’t think it is a good idea for them to be around other dogs, BHV is not the best place for your pet’s recovery. BHV is an active, fun place where other dogs are running around wrestling and swimming in pools. Bringing your pup to BHV to be exposed to a bunch of other dogs while recovering surgery isn’t the best idea. We would prefer they rest at home until fully recovered so they can come to BHV feeling rested and healthy and ready to play with their friends.
