I have a 6yr old GSD full male. We have kenneled him at the same place since he was a puppy. All the dogs play together and sleep together normally.
Last time he was there a female rottie was placed there as she came into season apparently without the owner or the kennel owner knowing. alledgedly my previously virginal dog took full advantage of the situation
Anyway, no harm done and we returned home, he has been fine and showed no change in behaviour, goes out with a dog walker occassionally and no problems.
This weekend we put him in the kennels again, went to collect on Sunday to be informed that he had been a complete pain in the ar$e all weekend, had jumped on anything that moved including a 16 yr old lab who didn't move much at all and even tried a jack russell, had tried both male and female and had been willing to fight to get what he wanted
Consequentially, he was seperated from the other dogs all weekend and so proceeded to howl all night long and attack and scratch the door to get to the other dogs. It is a family run business and so none of them got any sleep, including their young children
Now i appreciate he is a pack animal and doesn't like to be on his own and he was only doing what comes naturally but i am like WTF!! This is completely unlike him, he is a very quiet dog normally and it's like jekyll and hyde - he has shown absolutely no inkling of this behaviour at home and has obviously decided this place is the local bordello for his entertainment. However we were told (in the nicest way) please don't ever bring him back....
So now, i am stuck without boarding he is familiar with and the propsect of putting in a new place with more possible behaviour like this or the type of kennels i don't really want to use where he will spend the time in a cage. That or no more holidays without the dog. What a nightmare - i am still speechless really and can't believe he acted like that...
