| Re: Any changes to behavior after boarding? Guinness used to always come home very tired and happy.
When he was boarded, we'd pay for "fun and games" time every other day, where they'd take him out for individual time in the big fenced yard and play ball with him.
He was so bouncy and had so much fun playing ball that the staff would take him out much more than the fun and game times we had paid for.
We used to refer to boarding as "taking Guinness to the resort", and he recognized the turn off the highway and could always tell when he was getting close to the place.
I do think it was a good idea for us to pay for some fun and game sessions - those allowed Guinness to form a relationship with the staff so that he could recognize them as individual friends.
