Right now I want to talk about boarding Pointers, although I might post something about training them some other day.<\/p>\n<p>I own my own boarding kennel, and I&#8217;m here to tell you I&#8217;m always thrilled when one of my boarding clients walks through the door with a Pointer. These dogs are the best when it comes to boarding, whether they&#8217;re just staying with me overnight or they&#8217;ll be here for a week or two.<\/p>\n<p>Let me explain why I say this. Ordinarily, big dogs can be more trouble than smaller dogs &#8211; sometimes a lot more trouble. They eat more, their &#8220;poops&#8221; are bigger and some of them tend to be aggressive toward other dogs &#8211; especially smaller dogs they think they can pick on.<\/p>\n<p><!--more-->Pointers aren&#8217;t like those other big dogs. They&#8217;re gentle and patient, and they get along well with other dogs &#8211; even dogs they&#8217;ve never met before. I&#8217;ve never had to break up a dogfight where a Pointer was involved. They&#8217;re just not aggressive at all. I feel safe putting them out in the exercise yard to run and play with any dog in my kennel, even toy dogs, because I know a Pointer won&#8217;t ever cause any trouble.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I train and board dogs for a living.
