The only limitation that would require a trial stay first are dogs that have severe separation anxiety.

What about safety? Can dogs escape?Safety is of course one of our biggest priorities here. We have 24-hour surveillance cameras, including one in each dogs room and playing fields. We also have a two-gate system here which means in the event one dog would escape, they would only come against another gate.

So, as you can see we are well covered on the safety aspects.
