Q. I have 2 dogs in one kennel. One is 1 year the other is 7 months. I was stupid but was under a lot of stress and did not want to listen to the new one cry all night. So she went from litter to new buddy. Now I want to seperate them but the youngest poops in the kennel and lays in it whenever seperated. The size of the kennel does not seem to matter. Neither does letting her potty right before. I'm getting ready to start the older one in obidence course in 2 weeks and don't want to come home to messy dog. I know I created the problem and I kick myself for it. But there has to be a solution.
Answer
Ya ... I mean it happens even with puppies that are crated alone. Some take longer to get it that its gross to sit in their own pee/poo.
Sometimes the babies can not help it because they are babies and can't hold it or have learned how to hold it.
What I would do is get a blanket and let your other dog sleep on it for a night or two and then give that blanket to the pup. The pup will smell the other dog on that blanket and it will give him some comfort.
What I actually did with mine because she was only 2 lbs I set up a little play pen. I put her food in there water bowl, bed, a few toys and pee pee pads. It was enough room for her to play, eat, sleep, and poo if needed. As she got older I made it smaller. Basically I was teaching her to hold it. I don't suggest this with a dog who will be a larger breed but it works well for smaller breeds.

Hi!
I'm 17 I've left school to follow my dream of working with dogs! (I am doing an evening course on animal welfare though)
I'm planning on setting up a boarding kennels and I need your opinion on my ideas.
I plan to have wire dog runs with dog kennels outside for the dogs during the day and wire crates inside a shed for them to sleep in at night. They will get 2 walks per day and about an hour to run around in the garden. I'm going to clean out the crates, kennels and runs and disinfect them once a day, and sterilize all the food and water bowls every day.
Does this sound ok to you??
Also can you suggest any names for my kennels??
Answer
Hi hun, the best thing you can do is work in your local kennels for several months to see how they are run. Dog runs and kennels in the summer would be fine, providing they are big enough but you have got to consider the winter months. The best run kennels have indoor facilities and heating. You will have to have insurance, Health & Safety inspections, what about Public Liability Insurance (in case for example dogs get into a fight with each other, even accidentally, or bite a handler you would be liable). I know this all sounds very complicated but running an uninsured kennels or somewhere where you are charging without a Health & Safety Inspection would be madness. Actually Health & Safety are extremely helpful with their advice but you must comply with the Law which is very strict where animal welfare is concerned.
I would also suggest doing a Business Course. You will need, not only to deal with the above and all the paperwork concerned but if you hire help and if you are successful and build up the number of dogs you will have to run it as a business.
How about putting an advert in your local shop as a dog walker for a start while you are studying your Animal Welfare Course, Business Studies Course and helping out in kennels. Sorry if this all sounds like extremely hard work but it is.
Do not even consider a name until you have worked out your strategy. After a lot of hard work and study it will come to you should you succeed. Good luck.
