Why is Daycare good for you and your dog?

Of course, the #1 reason for daycare is 'We have busy lives…They have only us"

You're away from home on a regular basis and your dog is either sleeping, bored, lonely or getting into trouble. Destructive behavior is not necessarily the sign of a bad or aggressive dog, or even a dumb dog; it can merely be a lack of stimulation, socialization, or very commonly - training. Dogs have natural instincts to run, hunt, slobber, pack, track and above all enjoy themselves. The Doggie Spot helps them get back to their natural selves!

Healthy, Active, Overweight? (Your pet, I mean)

Daycare can provide more than a peace of mind to you and your pet, it will also provide days full of activity. This means healthy exercise, and no dog will have to choose between having a full painful bladder versus their owners' disappointment when they potty in the house. Just like us, regular exercise promotes better health and socialization for the life of your animal. Toys aimed at stimulating their minds, yummy treats, play time and nap times are all provided to bring out your pet's true personality.

Live in an apartment and not a lot of space for your dog to exercise in?

Well, that means when you get home, before you unwind or go out for some fun of your own, you better exercise and exercise and exercise your pooch. If not, you feel guilty or you get frustrated at their energy level, even though they've been cooped up all day long. Your dog doesn't understand and it could spark destructiveness when you leave again. By the way, he doesn't bark all day long and disturb neighbors who are at home, does he? Would you know?

Maybe you work from home, and to your dog that means you are there for his entertainment, right?

He doesn't understand why you're there and not paying attention to him! You feel guilty because you can't spend time with him. Barking at deliverymen or a bird out the window, while being totally rationale to your dog, doesn't promote a very professional impression when on a business call.

Having realtors, house cleaning or maintenance people access your home while you aren't there?

Your dog may be fine around strangers when you are with them; but when you're not home, you never know how he will behave when he thinks he's protecting his territory for you. This can be a very large risk to take. Have you ever tried to buy or sell a house with a dog in the bathroom barking incessantly during your house tour?

FUN, FUN, FUN!!!

Maybe you just think your pooch deserves a day of fun and fancy-free activity that dogs were born to have. Dogs are innately pack animals and want to be around others. They want more interaction than being left outside in the Florida heat all day or left on their own in your fenced-in yard. They live to be active and goofy…and they're encouraged to do just that at The Doggie Spot!

You may be thinking, this sounds an awful lot like a children's day care…and you would be absolutely right! Because to people like us, they are part of our family and we enjoy seeing them happy and healthy. It helps make us happy and healthy! Unconditional love and dedication is what they give us; giving them an opportunity to play with 'friends' and just be a dog seems a fair trade.
