If you live in a small apartment, but want to have a canine companion, a Dog Day Care may be the perfect solution for you and your playful pooch. Dogs do not want to be locked in a kennel, while you are at work. Alas, not all dogs are able to stay out by themselves without causing significant damage to the apartment. If you have a dog that you would like to be able to have as much fun as possible throughout the day, a doggie day care is a great option.
When you interview the day care, you want to be sure that you understand the rules of the establishment. The day cares are not the same as options that are available for young children. Your dog will be fed, cared for, and given ample opportunity to play with other dogs. While some establishments offer you the ability to have your dog trained while they are at the facility, not all do. Some require you or a loved one to be with the dog when they’re going through the training process to ensure that they listen and follow your commands, as well as those of the teacher.
The Dog Day Care will more than likely have a specific timeline when the dog may arrive and when he or she must be picked up. It’s important that you find out if there are any additional fees associated with taking your dog to the day care. Some establishment charge a late fee if you do not pick up your pet by the specified time. There are also many places that will offer you a discount if you book your dog to visit the day care multiple days in a week. If you know that your dog will be there for three or four days, it will save you money to buy an extended pass, rather than a one day pass.
The people working in the facility will be well trained. They will know how to handle any situation that arises and will keep your dog safe and happy throughout the day. Your dog will be much happier playing with their doggy friends than sitting at home in a kennel by his or herself.
