What is Dog Daycare?
Dog
daycare is a place for dogs to socialize and interact with other dogs
in carefully supervised surroundings. The dog daycare environment is
similar to child daycare; dogs play together off-leash, there are supervisors,
structured activities, treats, and rest periods. All daycare dogs must
be able get along peacefully with other dogs and daycare staff, in order
to function properly in a dog daycare facility.
Why Dog Daycare?
Dog
daycare is a place for dogs to get the exercise they need to maintain
proper health. Extended free-play sessions and structured games exercise
both the body and the mind.
Dog
Daycare provides opportunities for dogs to socialize with other friendly
dogs. Dog Daycare also gives dogs a chance to learn new things and overcome
fears, by watching and/or shadowing a more experienced dog.
The
structure, learning, social interactions, and exercise that daycare dogs
receive helps to curb undesirable behaviors at home, such as chewing, shredding,
and other chaos-inducing behaviors. Dogs are more content when they have
the proper balance of physical, mental, and social activities.
