That's interesting.  

We took Goldie up in Uxbridge (1 hour drive from Toronto downtown core)  We found a place where Goldie can run around in the farm area.  It's all fenced.  She can meet other big dogs and play whole day. But the business owner has to meet her first. It's so called Greet and Meet session.  I talked about it later.

What's Greet and Meet? For professionally run businesses, they would like to make sure your dog is healthy with up to date shot, not showing aggressive behavior to others.

We know Goldie is a big young girl. She is strong, she is young and she has a lot of energy.   And we only have her for a few months.  We are still not clear about her behavior under different circumstances.   Off leash park is totally different than the doggie camp.  That's because no every single dogs has their owners with them.

The good thing about this boarding place, they let their dogs out from the house one at a time.  So Goldie will not be overwhelmed with all the new dogs at the same time.    It was an interesting experience.  I never really met a Malamute dog before.  And they had one there.  It's very good looking big dog.  Damn! I forgot to take pictures.

We spent about 40 mins at the doggie camp/boarding place.  It's absolutely well managed.  They told us they would pair up dogs to sleep inside the same room which is stable-like. And if dogs love to crates, they are available too. It's heated floor (they claimed), I am not quite sure but CAD50/night on the weekend, the concrete floor better be heated in the winter.

At the end, we let Goldie stay there for one night.  Ouch!  that's what I sounded like when we paid the fee.  And she had a very good time.  Looking forward to bringing her there for a 2-week doggie vacation
