Dachshund 'Chews Out Mom' for Leaving Him at Doggie Boarding-and the Sass Is Real
Dachshunds are tiny dogs, but that doesn't mean they can't pack a huge personality into those little bodies. Plenty of pups who belong to this breed are born with a lot of opinions, along with the need to share those opinions with anyone who will listen, animal or human.
And in the case of Moose the Dachshund, those opinions all revolve around going to doggie boarding - basically, that he really, really isn't into the idea of being left behind. Poor Moose!

Moose's mom shared a video of her two Dachshunds sitting in their car seats after leaving doggie boarding, and let's just say Moose really isn't happy about the way things have played out here.
His brother, Archie, is trying so hard to mind his own business, but Moose just can't quiet down. He's barking at his mom to let her know that, in the future, wherever she's going, she needs to take them with her. Forget about this boarding thing!
Even when their mom says their names, Moose still refuses to dignify her with a response. She might be on the receiving end of a lot of attitude from him for the foreseeable future.

How to Choose the Right Doggie Boarding Facility
Boarding your dog can be really stressful. Even if you just need to find the right place for them to stay while you're off on a fun vacation, nothing is going to stop a pet parent from worrying about their dog's welfare while they're gone. How can we possibly have fun if they're miserable?
Fortunately, you do have control over where you board your dog, so doing research ahead of time is key.
As Fayetteville Veterinary points out, there are a few factors to consider when choosing a doggie boarding facility:
- The cleanliness of the facility
- The space and privacy they are able to offer your dog
- Daily exercise time and routines
- Safety protocols that are already put in place
- How experienced the staff are (especially when it comes to your dog's particular needs)
- Vaccination requirements for dogs who board there
You can never be too careful when it comes to ensuring your dog will be safe, happy, and well cared for when you're not around, so remember that the right facility will be open and honest in answering all your questions before you book. If they seem like they're dodging questions, look at that as a red flag for sure.
With any luck at all, your dog will have a blast while you're gone and be happy to see you when you get back. There's nothing better than that reunion!
