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.
A
Dog's Day At Poco's Playhouse!
A typical day at the playhouse will consist
of lots of play time, plenty of rest,
continuous access to water, treats, meals
(if requested), and all sorts of fun
activities, with a separate play area
available for small dogs. The day may
involve lots of outdoor play in good
weather, or mostly indoor play on days of
inclement weather. Pooch Patrol members and
Playmates will play games, have contests,
and even make arts and crafts to take home
to the family. A local pet photographer will
visit on a regular basis for those who may
want to have some professional pictures of
their four-legged loved ones. Playmate
yearbooks will be offered for purchase
annually. |
