There are two 7 month old Rhodesian Ridgebacks in my house right
now, boinging everywhere, which is why Timmy is wary.

Poor little guy, he must want his nice Greyhound friend back.

Timmy has huge confidence and is amazing at taking care of
himself with larger dogs. Unfortunately, he's a little
unrealistic, thinking that he can bait the larger dogs from his
regular perch on the couch.

But, yes, it would be nice to see Roy the Grey again.

Timmy's here every day and the RRs are here twice a week each,
coinciding on Monday. While he's good at holding his own with
puppies 1000 times his size, sometimes he needs a lap to sit on.

harriet says that *every* dog sometimes needs a lap to sit on.

sigh I so wish the commute from Texas to Canada was shorter. Tallulah
would love to boing with them. Even though she has more of a "jump-splat".

Or, I wish you would open a branch of your doggie daycare down here.
There's nothing even remotely like it here in town.

I'm officially envious. Two breeds I really like - CKCS and RR. And
you get to have them PT! I tell ya Matt - you've defintely found a
great niche and lifestyle. I would SO refer you if I live in Calgary!
I subscribe to a dog daycare list and I gotta tell ya, the dog
knowledge of these folks is scary bad.

A few years ago I was on a flight from Philadelphia to
Ithaca in a 19-seater flying cigar tube through a bunch of
thunderstorms. It was a terrifying flight, and so people
did what people do when they're scared, which is shriek and
then start a conversation. It turned out that nearly
everybody sitting near me was on their way to Cornell for
training in running dog daycare. So reputable training does
seem to be available - among other things, Cornell does
behavioral training.

I know there are courses, but am skeptical. A couple opened a
daycare near me. Took some daycare course, etc. Husband came to
classes I ran for volunteers to be better handlers/trainers (taking
the long timers, shy or rambunctious dogs). He was the worst handler
in the class.

I wouldn't recommend that daycare for anything, but I'm pretty picky -
it's rare that I let someone have control/supervision/responsibility
for my dogs. I think I have good gut instincts. I have let ONE
person (yes ONE) handle Franklin. I only knew him cyber-wise, but I
had trust and wasn't let down (and it was Frankin's first time with an
e-collar, so it was a very big deal). One person handled Lucy in a
pinch (I was at the ER) and it was not ideal. Mostly because she was
obsessed with finding ME, but we worked out a situation where the
other person handled her with me in back of her on crutches, and the
next day, just me on crutches (stupid as it turned out, for me, but we
would have had to pull the team otherwise). Past dogs? nobody else
handling, ever.

Dog daycare is such a good idea in many ways, and so poor in others.
If all daycare was Matt's, it would be a no-brainer. Most of these
places have 80 dogs and a few clueless employees.

Just from this group for a number of years, I'm pretty sure who I'd be
willing to hand my dogs to and who I wouldn't. And I don't think I'm
being cyber-fooled by anyone. That's based on years of history.
