Benefits of Doggie Daycare

Doggie daycares provide flexible, safe environments that can help your furry friend become a healthy, well-adjusted dog.


For many pet owners, a doggie daycare provides valuable interactions that you can’t provide yourself. Here’s how:


Safe, Fun Environment

Doggie daycare is run by experts who understand pet behavior and can recognize if a dog is feeling stressed out. Therefore, many problems that may be encountered at a dog park are avoided because the dogs are being supervised at all times.


Since problematic aggressive behaviors are avoided, doggie daycares present a perfect place for your dog to run and play in a safe environment.


Exercise

Doggie daycare provides the opportunity for your dog to get much-needed exercise. Running, jumping, playing with toys is essential to your dog’s well-being. And, so much fun for your dog!


Socialization

Dogs need socialization. They need to interact with other dogs of different breeds and recognize that other dogs are not a threat to them.


Providing your dog this interaction with other dogs helps you keep yourself and your dog safe when you enjoy walks and other outdoor activities where other dogs might be present.


Contact with “Strangers”

Additionally, it’s important that your dog is not aggressive towards other people because he sees them as strangers. Doggie daycare gives your dog the opportunity to have positive, nurturing interactions with a variety “strangers”--people other than you. Through this opportunity, your dog will learn to accept petting and attention from people he does not see every day. This also makes walks and other outdoor activities much safer by alleviating your dog’s stress when other people may approach your dog.


Beneficial for Busy Owners

Feel guilty that you can’t provide your dog the attention he needs because you’re in a busy time of your life? Doggie daycare provides a fun environment for your dog to thrive during the day while you’re busy. You know your dog is in the care of loving, trained professionals who will show your dog affection and provide the socialization he needs. And, he’ll be ecstatic to see you at the end of the day!
