I don't just board dogs; I live with them. Here is the raw reality of responsible pet care, from diet management to handling separation anxiety, based on years of experience on our farm.

## Photos and videos

- [Video: Every dog has unique dietary needs. While our staple is fresh-cooked chicken, rice, and veggies, we customize meals for picky eaters or those with specific requirements, from rotis with desi ghee to paneer and eggs. We can prepare almost any home-cooked meal to make your dog feel at home.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/d93b9bdb-072e-4146-9a34-413b47669e0a)
- [Video: It might sound funny, but monitoring every dog's poop is a critical part of our health check routine. If we notice loose stools, we take immediate action with remedies like Isabgol or Metrogyl and ensure they are hydrated, preventing minor issues from becoming major problems.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0037fc79-b6bb-4c55-88ce-9504784b8534)
- [Video: Following up on poop monitoring, we also check for blood or mucus. This can indicate a need for deworming or a dietary intolerance to something like chicken. By observing closely, we can make quick adjustments to their diet or care to maintain their gut health.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/98d76409-560a-43d1-8ba3-51c0d4f53293)
- [Video: Detecting a fever in a dog requires careful observation. A change in activity level can be a key sign. I explain how we monitor dogs, check their temperature, and what steps we take, including administering general medicines and consulting our on-call vet if a fever is above 103°F.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/1ef73942-f5b7-435f-a6c7-2d73c63550c0)
- [Video: When a dog vomits, it's important to know the difference between undigested food and yellowish bile. The latter is a sign of gastric issues. I explain our protocol: administering medicine like Zymopet, waiting an hour, and then offering a light meal like curd rice.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/96f3a7fa-cbd7-4ceb-82d3-c07b10f51cea)
- [Video: As a boarder, I am prepared for any situation. We perform daily tummy checks and monitor food intake to catch gastric issues early. Having general medicines on hand allows us to provide immediate first aid, ensuring the dog's comfort and safety.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/06eec6bd-3aeb-4a80-91ef-202ef5971bfd)
- [Video: Pet parents often ask about our emergency procedures. I explain our three-tiered system: a stock of first-aid medicines, doctors on call, and a nearby 24-hour hospital. Your dog's health and safety are my absolute top priority.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0e86bf06-2022-4389-9bc6-73a1acff7b30)
- [Video: What is the difference between cage-free home boarding and a kennel system? The answer lies in what you want for your dog. I believe dogs need to socialize and live freely to be happy, which is why I champion the home boarding model over confinement in a kennel.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e0efbf29-abe9-4b5e-a6c2-f27e3efbb6cb)
- [Video: Why is a trial stay so important? I use the analogy of a child's first day at boarding school. A brief visit with you doesn't prepare them for your absence. A proper trial stay allows them to acclimate to the space and our routine without you, which is crucial for a stress-free long-term stay.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/a65f9bf5-c585-4805-8a74-4f154c2e0877)
- [Video: Should you bring your dog's toys and bed to the boarding? I advise against it for social dogs, as possessiveness can lead to fights. Here, dogs have live friends to play with, which is far more enriching than any toy.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/2aed26a3-a1fa-4246-9391-471d4ba5887a)
- [Video: Spending hours with your dog on drop-off day before leaving actually increases their anxiety. The best method is a quick, clean drop-off. Let them start sniffing and exploring, and then you walk away. This helps them settle in much faster.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/70d5187b-8842-4350-b50e-323cb01f8149)
- [Video: Why we don't allow family visits during a long-term stay. A visit can reset a dog's adjustment process and trigger homesickness, making it harder for them and for us. It's best to either take them home or avoid visits to maintain their peace.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/bbbd096d-fdb0-4fc7-814e-f6a9debc176d)
- [Video: To repeat the crucial point about drop-offs: lingering creates anxiety. A quick goodbye is an act of kindness. It allows your dog to begin the process of settling in and trusting the new environment and people.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/186dd1cd-0503-4261-ac31-d41425e0d757)
- [Video: Why we can't force a dog to eat. A trial stay is essential to prevent this. Forcing a dog can create fear and behavioral issues. A gradual transition makes them confident and happy to be here, which is when they eat well.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9925631d-cdec-44eb-83c3-6b99815eb1f2)
- [Video: Never board a puppy before its vaccinations are complete. Their immune systems are weak, and they are highly susceptible to illness. I explain why it's critical to wait 5-7 days after their final shots before any boarding or even park visits.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/2938fe5f-96ee-4c97-86cc-72bec2abaf6e)
- [Video: As a behaviorist and communicator, we can understand why a dog isn't eating, but we can't force them. This is a partnership. We need the pet parent's support in preparing their dog for boarding through trial stays to ensure a positive experience for everyone.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/7fbebde2-528d-4296-a001-8b8814957dae)
- [Video: When should you start boarding your puppy? The answer is right after their final vaccinations, around four months of age. The longer you wait, the more dependent and anxious they can become, making the transition much harder later on.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/304d6ef1-cedd-4e16-8a76-263809d1193c)
- [Video: Here are some tips for new puppy parents. From day one, teach your puppy to be independent and give them space. Avoiding clingy behavior early on will reduce separation anxiety and make future boarding experiences much smoother.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e78dfd8a-1fb7-4bc6-ab67-497378ff5a01)
- [Video: Our setup is designed for indirect socialization. Even dogs in separate gardens can see and observe other packs, learning how to be a dog. We also use cameras 24/7 to monitor every dog's safety and well-being.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/03d90599-6176-4ba2-bde2-6e0fc3a36ca7)
- [Video: The challenge of boarding is managing a dog's separation anxiety. They may not eat, they may cry, they may be destructive. This is why trial stays are not optional, they are essential. It's a process of building trust and understanding what the dog needs to feel secure.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/554e75ba-0d3f-481f-8053-14ddbe16c501)
- [Video: My boarding concept is simple: cage-free, group living based on temperament. My goal is to help every dog, even anxious or aggressive ones, learn to enjoy the company of other dogs and have a real vacation. Because pets need vacations too.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/f61dae84-4198-45da-8b08-caccb2f041c0)
- [Video: This is a part of my story. My journey with dogs started in childhood and was solidified by rescue experiences, like saving a Great Dane abandoned on the road. This work is not just a job; it's a calling rooted in a deep sense of responsibility.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/30d5bdda-3c60-4754-9ad0-dc54d98d1a0b)
- [Video: I was never afraid of dogs, even as a child. I believe this confidence came from my grandfather, a great animal lover, and my first dog, Bonzo. This lifelong connection is the foundation of my ability to understand and work with them.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ec089910-4b14-4e8a-a25a-f109ae74e87b)
- [Video: Before getting a dog, you must ask yourself, "Why do I want one?" Your reason must be clear. A dog is not for timepass; it is a family member that deserves a good life. This is the first step in responsible pet parenting.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/fa83b56c-6306-4928-ba94-f832dca16e4a)
- [Video: A guest on our Pawdcast, a lawyer and dog trainer, talks about balancing her profession with her passion. If you truly love what you do, you make time. Working with dogs demands your full presence and passion.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/70472240-5fa7-42b8-973b-394d993de3b4)
- [Video: A trial stay is the best way to transition your dog to boarding. Forcing a situation, especially with food, can create fear and behavioral problems. A slow, positive introduction ensures your dog feels confident and happy.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/b83aad9a-136d-4796-b6bc-0400f253a253)
- [Video: Why do dogs get motion sickness? Just like humans, they can suffer from it due to anxiety or stress. I provide simple tips to help, like starting with short drives, providing ventilation, and consulting a vet for anti-nausea medicine.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ef140103-ecc8-4fe9-a0fe-cb3ce338114f)
- [Video: Mowgli the Labrador is a perfect example of a well-adjusted boarder. He has been coming since he was a puppy. Early and consistent exposure to new places and other dogs builds confident, independent animals.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/6936407b-0c80-4371-9116-3b74b5239842)
- [Video: Brew the Lhasa Apso's transformation is a classic example of why trial stays work. He was aggressive on his first visit, but now he runs to us with joy. This is the result of patience and building trust over time.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/4643504d-5d1b-4f12-9167-33316b0e4333)
- [Video: We are seeing new challenges with "COVID babies," dogs who have developed separation anxiety due to lockdowns. We are now using trial stays even for our old guests to help them readjust. It's a necessary step to ensure their well-being.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/9a67b5b2-c19a-46f3-8adf-51bd638d70d9)
- [Video: The term "Covid baby" refers to pets acquired during lockdown who now have severe separation anxiety. Instead of considering abandonment, the solution is gradual adjustment through daycare or short boarding stays.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/e72aafcf-10a0-422b-954b-4cd64be00016)
- [Video: We are always prepared for medical issues. We have first-aid supplies, including oxygen masks, and a clear protocol: administer first aid, call the doctor, and rush to the hospital if needed, all while keeping the pet parent informed.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/8dcee3de-3991-412c-b886-ae98581c4700)
- [Video: My animals, from the horses to the cows, know this is their forever home. They are not just animals I care for; they are my herd, and they are the ones who are the boss. This is the bond that comes from providing true sanctuary.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/0bbc77ee-986b-4b2a-a0e8-6eac72deb35e)
- [Video: Hygiene is paramount. Dogs mark their territory when they arrive, and we clean up immediately. With CCTVs everywhere, we maintain a high level of cleanliness, cleaning up after dogs and sanitizing the facility multiple times a day.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/2cbe9dfa-1571-455e-aab6-746e1096bde2)
- [Video: We use only dog-friendly, chemical-free cleaners and clean the boarding facility three times a day. We also provide fresh buttermilk from our own farm in the afternoons, especially in summer, to keep their tummies cool and healthy.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/3d509017-739d-440d-9f49-64fba5d25694)
- [Video: The reason we started this boarding is our passion. Our success is measured by the bond we create. When a dog runs to us when called, not for a treat, but out of connection, that is the greatest achievement.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/127eb491-0203-402b-b9b2-91eefa78eeeb)
- [Video: We are so attuned to the dogs that we can identify who is barking and what they need from anywhere on the farm. Even silence gets our attention. We constantly monitor them to ensure they are safe, happy, and getting the right balance of play and rest.](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/raw:1/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/3a25f0d9-a6d8-49aa-b605-02e42862bbf2)

## About Expert Insights from the Farm

You might think a boarding place is just about supervision, but we treat it as a medical and emotional science. We check every dog’s stool daily to catch health issues before they escalate. If a dog has loose stools or shows signs of blood, we don't wait; we adjust the diet or administer basic medicine immediately. This level of detail is how we ensure your dog stays healthy while you are away.

Responsible dog care is about understanding what happens after you leave your pet with us. Whether you are choosing between a kennel or cage-free boarding in Chattarpur, there are core principles you should know.

### Health & Monitoring
We believe in proactive care. We monitor everything from food intake to body temperature. If a dog is lethargic or stops eating, we don't just wait. We have a routine: check the temperature, check for gastric bloating, and provide immediate first aid if needed. You should know how to do this too—keep a thermometer handy, and know the basics of canine fever management.

### The Reality of Drop-Offs
Many parents linger at the gate, thinking they are helping their dog settle. They are not. Lingering creates anxiety. A quick, clean drop-off allows your dog to start exploring and sniffing their new environment immediately. This is why we insist on a trial stay—it gives your dog a chance to experience the farm without you, making their actual vacation stress-free.

### Nutrition as Care
Every dog is an individual. We don't stick to a rigid dry-kibble diet. If your dog needs rotis with desi ghee, paneer, or curd rice, we make it. Our farm approach is about replicating the home environment, not just providing a roof.

### Why Socialization Matters
Dogs are social animals. We encourage pack play because it burns energy and builds confidence. If your dog is anxious, we use slow, gradual socialization in neutral territory. We avoid force and let them open up at their own pace. If you want your dog to just be a dog, this is the environment they need.

## About Asha Arun

My name is Arun, and I don't believe in kennels. I built this farm because I wanted a place where dogs could run free, socialize, and actually enjoy their time away from home. I work with every dog as an individual, focusing on their specific emotional and medical needs.
