Housing conditions for your pet must be excellent
Professional view
Cathy Helfer is an owner and a leader of “Camp of best friends”- a
Kennel where different dog breeds are kept and attended. Just
there they are also trained. Miss Helfer has got her training
experience and studied to treat animals while working with her
brother, a well-known trainer Ralph Helfer.
In the days of old in their rancho they kept lions, elephants,
chimpanzees and other exotic animals which became famous as actors
starring in many feature films and television serials (
among them famous “ Tarzan” with Bo Dereck starring).
When Miss Helfer was asked to advise the dog owners that look for
put-you-up for their pets she answered, after reflecting on the
question a little bit, that first of all a dog owner should pay
attention to a person who would care for a dog.
This person must have a well developed “family instinct” in order
the animal that became accustomed to the family did not feel
abandoned and unhappy. Then it is necessary to examine housing
conditions where your dog is gonna live. A cage or aviary
must be spacious enough, have a place for rest and a bowl with
fresh drinking water.
It goes without saying that roofing is obligatory too. Miss Helfer
supposes that such kinds of establishments must pursue “an open
door policy” for the clients to able to see everything with their
own eyes. You must be allowed in to get acquainted with everything
but not just the place where your dog will be kept.
During the inspection please pay your attention to cleanness of
the premises as it is very important. Miss Helfeer recommends
asking who from the personnel will attend to your dog, you need to
have a chat with this person and direct him to make everything you
will see right.
If there is a necessity then you need to clean down your dog when
it has the muzzle on but made only from soft materials. Visiting
your dog you should try to see it with the person who tends for
it. You must know what kind of relations has been established
between them.
You should know that healthy problems may appear in your dog.
Every dog breed is liable to these or those diseases and you need
to keep in touch with a veterinarian in order to minimize the
danger.
Veterinary science is not at a stop. Do try to understand whether
your veterinarian is in touch with the latest achievements. At
that bear in mind that not all vets can treat all dog breeds to
the same extent.
Let us say if you have Rottweiler but a vet has serious reasons to
be afraid of Rottweilers then that won’t do any good. Your dog
will feel that people fear it and will become nervous or
aggressive.
