Reputable kennels have designed a daily regimen for their canine clients that include mealtimes, physical activity, and socialization. Getting plenty of exercise can help burn extra energy and help a dog become less anxious with his new environment. You should ask whether the facility you choose will offer your dog enough opportunities for physical activity. Also ask about socialization opportunities with other dogs. However, if they do let dogs play and interact with each other, make sure the management take precautions and there should be constant supervision during the entire duration of the activity.

A dog will be less likely to get stressed and anxious if he can keep himself entertained. Make sure to include toys that can challenge him physically and mentally, such as puzzle toys or treat dispensing balls. Also, don’t forget to send some of the favorite things he likes to chew on, such as chewy treats or heavy duty chew toys. Chewing on these things will keep your canine buddy busy, and it may also offer some level of comfort to ease his anxiety and nervousness at being left in a strange place with strange people and strange dogs.
