Every dog is different when it comes to staying away from home.
Some dogs settle into a new environment almost immediately, while others need a little more time to feel comfortable and confident.
And that’s completely okay…and we are here to help.
For dogs who need a little longer to adjust, we always recommend building up visits gradually, starting with shorter sessions and allowing them to become familiar with our home, their new dog friends and the people caring for them, before progressing to longer stays.
It’s amazing to watch the difference this can make.
Those first visits might involve a little reassurance and plenty of observation, but with time, familiarity and positive experiences, confidence begins to grow.
One of my favourite parts of this job is watching and being part of that transformation, seeing a dog who was once unsure begin to arrive happily, settle confidently and truly enjoy their time here.
So, if you know your dog may need a little longer to settle somewhere new, please give them that time.
Planning a few shorter visits well before your holiday can make a huge difference to how comfortable they feel when the time comes for their longer stay.
Because confidence is built, not rushed.
So if you’re planning a future trip and need a loving, caring, home from home that feels like family for your dog, drop us a message today ♥️🐾
