If you don\u2019t want to leave your dogs at home all day while you\u2019re at work, dog daycare is the solution! While this is a great option if you don\u2019t want your dog to be cooped up in your home all day, many people still choose not to go this route because they\u2019re scared it won\u2019t be good for their dogs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The good news? It\u2019s great for your dogs!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

One of the most important things in your puppy\u2019s life is that she is properly socialized at a young age. If they are, they\u2019re going to get along with all people and dogs. It\u2019s important that dogs don\u2019t just interact with your family\u2019s dogs, but with stranger\u2019s dogs too. Going out to the park is a great way to do this and meet a lot of new dogs, but they\u2019re only with those dogs for a short amount of time. At dog daycare, they have hours<\/em> to interact with new, strange dogs. Dog daycare provides a healthy, safe way to interact with other dogs and socialize them so they develop good habits from a young age. It\u2019s similar to allowing your children to partake in sleepovers when they\u2019re young. Taking your dog to daycare and letting your child stay at a friend\u2019s house promotes development\u2014both your dog and child will learn to interact with others (dogs or people) in an encouraging environment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Interacting with new dogs will help your dog burn off any pent-up energy. If you leave them at home from 9-5 while you\u2019re at work, their energy pools inside them. You get home and you have a crazy dog on your hands. She\u2019s bouncing off the walls because she was in a kennel all day or roaming around the house without any stimulation. At dog daycare, your dog will be stimulated mentally and physically, so you can come home to a respectful, calm member of the family. What owner doesn\u2019t desire that?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Be sure you\u2019re considering your dog\u2019s needs first and foremost. If you have a dog with a mellow personality, be sure to articulate that to staff. They\u2019ll place your dog with a low energy group of dogs that are also calm and quiet. They won\u2019t be overstimulated by higher energy dogs.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If your dog is naturally nervous or anxious, you may think dog daycare might be too stimulating and therefore overwhelming. However, it is important to consider that if your dog is exhibiting signs of nervousness, it\u2019s a good sign that they are developing and becoming bold and confident in new things. Nervous is normal, but many owners will coddle their nervous puppies. Learning to be a confident leader is what they need; they need to build their confidence up while developing. If they don\u2019t, their sensitivities will increase as they age. Sometimes older unsocialized dogs can even become physically ill. Dog daycare is a safe, healthy place to be nervous. Seeing other confident dogs and interacting with them and competent staff will also make them calm, playful, and confident as they play off one another.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
