Hi!
I hope this is the correct section for this, but I was curious on what everyones' thoughts are on doggy daycares? Specifically what everyone's thought is on placing your dog there during the weekdays as oppose to having a dog walker coming through halfway through the day?
As a bit of background, I recently adopted a super duper friendly retriever/ collie mix. I've had him for about a week now and in the process of organizing daycare for him, he has a dog walker that has been coming in to walk him during lunch for last week and the week that's coming up. He is beautifully crate trained and we are working on housebreaking which is going well too. I feel like because he is such a social dog he would really love to be around other dogs during the day; the daycare is directly across the road from my work, which he will be at around 8hrs a day and we would be driving to and from work together everyday.
I've done some google searches about placing your dog in daycare everyday and some people say it's too much for them or that they might pick up bad habits? So I was curious to hear if anyone has any thoughts or experiences with this?
Thanks so much!
