Sometimes there are fights and often they work through it until they decide their pecking order. Nothing serious, just the way communicate. Some dogs love playing with others while others want to be left alone. I use part of my house, have a building and I even allow some dogs to sleep with me. It's not unusual to see dogs all over my house, office or anywhere else I'm hanging out.
I take care of quite a few jacks and they can be bossy but after they spend some time they adjust and do just fine. they are very territorial dogs but learn to share space.
It's great that he's able to be social and around other dogs. Its the best thing for both of you. I feel bad for dogs that stay home a lone all day but in some cases there isn;t a choice. He's going to have fun, you'll be happy and it will create an even deeper bond for both of you.
Good luck and keep us posted on how he does.

your place sounds great...I have taken my dog to a 'kennel' one time in her lifetime. She was depressed for over a week after she came home...she didn't eat for the 2 days she was there and got terribly constipated. She is used to being with me almost all the time. I suspect that she was just put in a run and left alone...It's good to know that you give such personal attention to your boarders. If I have to leave my girl behind, I have a trusted friend stay in my house with her. She's older now and she likes being home.
