We ask you to drop your dog and leave quickly, with no long goodbyes or lingering. This is not coldness. It is the fastest way to help them settle. If you hang around, you are teaching your dog that this is a temporary park visit rather than a new, safe space. Your dog needs to experience the space, the handlers, and the other dogs without you as their emotional crutch so they can build genuine confidence. ### Why a Trial Stay is Non-Negotiable We do not do this to be difficult. We do this because we have seen the 'COVID baby' effect, where pets who spent 24/7 with their parents during lockdowns now struggle when left alone. A trial stay is not just a test for us, it is a vital acclimatization period for your dog. It is where we learn if they have specific triggers, what kind of treats motivate them, and whether they prefer solo play or a pack. ### The 'Drop and Go' Protocol When you bring your dog for their first session, the urge to spend hours with them in the garden is strong. Resist it. Lingering gives them mixed signals. When you leave, they feel abandoned. When you drop them and walk away, they have no choice but to engage with their surroundings. That is the moment they start shifting from anxious to curious. ### What to Expect During the Trial * **Initial Assessment:** We look for signs of food guarding, reactivity, and social comfort. * **Slow Introduction:** We never force social interactions. We start with quiet, calm companions to ensure safety. * **Routine Building:** We mimic a boarding day—regular meals, exercise, and rest—so they know what to expect when you go on your actual holiday. ### During Your Long-Term Boarding A common mistake is asking to visit mid-stay. Please, do not do this. It disrupts their settled routine. Just like a child in a boarding school, seeing you but not going home with you causes unnecessary distress and brings back separation anxiety. Let them settle, enjoy their time, and we will take care of the rest. ## About Asha Arun I'm Arun, and I don't believe in just giving a dog a roof. I believe in giving them a life. That's why I insist on these trial stays—I need to understand your dog’s story, their fears, and their joys before I ever take the responsibility of their boarding.
