I am lucky, my place is the same place Jesse goes to daycare, if I board him he goes home with the owner or office manage to stay over night inside their house (not in cage) can sleep on the floor, couch or bed and then spends day at daycare playing with other dogs. That is their boarding policy, your dog must pass daycare requirements before they agree to board. They do not use any devices, all dogs must know the command "quiet" and they teach it to them if you don't.
