After a hectic day of work, school, or errands, many dog owners nervously head home. Some of these owners find their furniture ripped apart, while others discover their furry friends have helped themselves to yesterday's leftovers that were buried in the trash can.

Here are four tips to make time in a boarding facility easier on your anxious pup.

Should you board your little furry family member while you're away, or should you have a friend watch him?
