Could Regular Daycare Benefit My Dog?
Daycare provides many new experiences and benefits for many pups! Here are some of the top reasons it could be beneficial for your dog.
Improves Socialization
Dogs are social animals and need interaction with other dogs and humans to be happy and well-adjusted. Regularly attending doggie daycare can provide them with the opportunity to socialize and play with other dogs, which can improve their social skills and prevent behavioral issues.
Pet parents can have peace of mind knowing their dog is playing with other like-minded dogs. Even if you have a shy dog, regular daycare can help bring them out of their shell and become more comfortable around new dogs and people.
Introduces Your Dog to New Environments
Being in a new environment with new smells, sounds, and experiences can be mentally stimulating for your dog. This can help prevent boredom and destructive behavior and keep your dog mentally sharp. Regular attendance at daycare can help dogs find their confidence which in turn allows them to be more comfortable in new environments in the future!
Provides a Safe Place to Play
Here at Puppy Play and Stay, our highly trained staff will monitor your dog’s behavior and intervene if needed. Our team is well versed in dog body language, safe play, positive reinforcement techniques and so much more! While your dog is spending the day at Puppy Play and Stay, you can find comfort in knowing your dog is receiving extra love from our team members in your absence!
Relief From Loneliness
If you work long hours or have a busy schedule, your dog may be alone for extended periods of time. Doggie daycare can provide your dog with social interaction and attention during the day, which can help relieve loneliness and separation anxiety. Separation anxiety is a normal emotion for dogs who are not adjusted to spending time away from their pawrents. Dogs may display anxiety with a variety of signs and symptoms such as increased barking (or reactivity of any kind), aggression, chewing, increased personal grooming (licking), onset of destructive behaviors, drooling, panting, or urinating in the house. The more frequent their visits to daycare, the faster they’ll adjust and the less likely they’ll be to exhibit anxious behavior, since they will begin to understand that you will, in fact, return for them!
Play in Any Weather
Dogs need regular exercise to maintain their physical and mental health. Doggie daycare can provide them with a safe and controlled environment to run, play, and burn off energy, which can help prevent obesity and other health problems. No matter the weather, our indoor playrooms are always the perfect temperature. Daycare at Puppy Play and Stay is a great way to maintain your dog’s exercise schedule regardless of sun, rain, or snow!
