It depends on the dog and your situation. I have never and will never allow my dogs to be outside when no one is home. A concrete fence would probably solve most of my issues (snakes, tree limb breaking fence, neighbor kids harassing or even poisoning). I'm almost 60, have had exactly zero dogs who loved being in their crate (except my first rottie who wanted it for sleeping in, gate open.. she didn't NEED a crate from the time she was about 6 mos old). But if you give them good quality toys and chews, dogs generally chill out. They sleep up to 18 hrs a day so I consider a crate a good safe haven. My basenji is fine left in my bedroom now that she's grown. My 2nd basenji didn't destroy things, she'd pee on my bed.. so she got crated. My first was incredibly dog aggressive, so the rotties and chow ran free, she was crated when I was out, slept with me at night (as did/do the other 2).
Doggy Daycare near Waxhaw NC?

Hi
I'm hoping some of my North Carolina friends can help me out. I have a friend who is moving to NC and needs a place to keep his dogs during the day while he works really long hours. He hasn't found a place he's comfortable yet.
They are moving to Waxhaw, NC but are close to Ballantyne, NC.
Any suggestions??
Thanks in advance!

I don't know how close this is to Waxhaw or Ballantyne, it's in Belmont, NC; http://www.freewebs.com/barkcitydoggie/
I don't know anything about this place, personally. I found it through an internet search. Good luck!!
Everything else I have found is in Charlotte.

Thanks
Actually if you have a place that you know of in Charlotte that would be a great suggestions!! Especially if there's a place where you've left your dogs would be great!

I haven't used any of these facilities (we live in TN), but I found them all on the internet:
http://www.continentalboarding.com/
http://www.trdoggiedaycare.com/
http://www.bichonpetsitting.com/
http://www.charlottekennels.com/services-daycare.asp
You might check out dogster.com. They have a local section where someone in Charlotte might have posted a review on one of these daycares or on another one I haven't listed.
Hope this helps.
