Dog Daycare Zetland – Is it Good or Bad for Your Dog?

There are people who swear by dog daycare and use them daily, while others are more cautious about them.

I thought it was time to weigh in on this subject since I’m very familiar with dog daycares having worked in them as a dog trainer for 4 years. I’ve seen two very different dog daycare business models, and understand what the benefits are vs. the possible negative effects they can have.

So, let’s get into it all so you can have a better understanding of whether doggy daycare would be a good option for you.

Is Dog Daycare Good?

Before we get into how to tell a good one from a bad one, we need to think about whether daycare for dogs is even a good idea in general. Is it a good idea to drop our dogs off to run around with other dogs for all day long?

In my opinion, dog daycare is the best idea for your dog’s socialisation needs! Dogs are very social animals that, even in the wild live together in family groups. They need social interactions and thrive in the company of other dogs.

Then there’s the activity aspect of it.

People are no way near as active as dogs are and tend to get weighed down by work and other responsibilities that stop us from running around with our dogs all day.

Even if you have a very calm, chilled-out dog, it doesn’t mean he doesn’t crave more. Just because he’s accepted living without another canine companion doesn’t mean his quality of life can’t be improved.

Now, not all dogs are the same and there are some who are not well suited for a group daycare setting. But if you have a friendly and social dog, daycare might be perfect for you! And even the calmer dogs would benefit from having some regular interactions with other dogs. Even if they’re not actively playing with all the others. Most dogs benefit from the social interaction and companionship of hanging with their doggie friends.
