Did another couple of stints at the boarding kennels this weekend and came across what we call a 'counter'. They're the people who tally the dog food that's handed back to them and complain if Fido hasn't eaten all the cans of food they supplied him with.
What they fail to realise when complaining is that Fido was traumatised by being abandoned in the kennels for a couple of weeks while they went on holiday, not knowing whether they were going to return and, quite understandably, went off his food. It has also been rather hot weather, which generally tends to put dogs off eating anyway. They tend to be a bit put out when you tell them that.
There is one customer, who I haven't met, who acclimatises her pooch to a kennel stay by leaving him for one night, then two nights and finally 3 nights before going away for any length of time. The dog is then habituated to the owner returning, which shows an owner who really understands her dog.
