Dismissal Reasons for Boarding Or Enrichment Program

Dismissal Reasons

Your dog may not be a comfortable guest for services at the Animal Care Center of NH.
These reasons may also be why your dog is not accepted for boarding or Enrichment Play Daycare Program at the Animal Center.  We may suggest using our other company, Professional Pet Sitting Etc. For in home pet care/dog walking visits.
We must think of the comfort and safety for all of our guests and employees. If one dog is anxious and unhappy, the other dogs will pick up on that.  If one dog is excessively barking the other dogs will pick up on this and join.  Happy dogs are busy playing not barking (unless using herding ball or lure).
if dogs excessively jump on or nip employees, this can cause injury.
We encourage boundaries, training and fun with dogs in group and encourage all owners to obedience train their pups to have the best life long relationships.
The reasons below, if not actively worked on at home and in group will become large problems in a group setting. Many reasons below cause discomfort in the other dogs and in some cases will cause fights, which is why we do not allow them.
Some reasons below are only possible dismissals.  Some are major and will be dismissed.
