I read an article recently about a family whose dog escaped from a Dog Day Care Facility. The family was a new customer to this Day Care and when they returned to pick up their dogno dog. The article didn’t share if the dog was later found, but what it did share was that after the escape, the owners told the day care the dog was a fence climber.

I used to own a boarding kennel. Over the Christmas holiday one year, a new customer brought me two Cocker Spaniels for boarding. The wife dropped off the dogs and gave me instructions to clean their ears daily. Since I was not familiar with these dogs and knowing that not every dog enjoys getting their ears cleaned, I questioned the owner how easily the dogs would accept this. She assured me they would be fine. On the first attempt I received the worst bite of my professional career. I thought the dog crushed my finger. It was one of those moments where the dog had my hand firmed locked between his jaws and I had to use my other hand to pry open his mouth! The dog made a strong point he didn’t want his ears cleaned.
