Enrichment Daycare
After working in a couple of different types and styles of doggy daycares, I still wasn't happy with the result, and neither were the dogs really. Typical doggy daycares are very similar to a teenage party without parents. Dogs are thrown into sometimes pretty large groups and forced to interact all day long. Typically these play groups include many ill-mannered and disrespectful dogs with zero formal training. This then means the people supervising the play groups then have no control of dogs or things going on within the groups..; this ultimately results in a very unsafe environment. For some really exuberant and careless dogs, this works out OK for a short time..but for most dogs, it is not ok. When most dogs mature into adulthood, it is completely normal for them to "age out." Most mature adult dogs don't enjoy playing or even socializing with a bunch of other dogs, on top of then adding in the stressor of being in a large and uncontrollable group. all day long.
This is when and why I decided to create a new form of doggy daycare to fit the majority of dogs.
So..what is Enrichment Daycare?
​
Enrichment Daycare is a daycare designed to specifically fit your dog's wants and needs. There will be a socialization aspect, an "enrichment" aspect, and scheduled quality rest times. My goal is to be able to send your dog home at the end of the day more happy and balanced and appropriately tired.
