Disadvantages of Doggy Daycare: While doggy daycare offers numerous benefits, it's essential to consider potential drawbacks such as cost, overstimulation, and the risk of injury or illness. Daycares are notorious for providing overstimulation, and over time this can cause behavioral issues. To counter this reality, we enforce resting periods for a minimum of 1 hour after each play session. We've found this to be the sweet spot.
Social Development: If done well, dogs can experience the best social opportunities. We do not manage every dog the same, they're all unique with their own preferences for engagement and engaging other dogs. If there is an unideal behavior from one dog, it's on us to be aware and adjust the dynamics. Excellent social dynamics will improve your dog's social relationships and behaviors.
Exercise: Exercise is incredibly beneficial for all mammals. If the space is big enough, and the per dog sq metre ratio is large enough, your pup has the opportunity to be well run and well tired.
Mental Stimulation: We now know that focusing strictly on physical exercise only improves your pup's stamina. However, if you balance it with mental stimulation, there's evidence to fatigue your dog as much and keep your 1 hr evening walks to just 1 hr. Mental stimulation also stimulates cognitive development, alleviates stress and anxiety, and is the bedrock for canine enrichment.
