What does your dog do when you are not home? You have probably noticed how excited your pup is when you get home from work, school, or other trips away and how happy they are when you take them with you on a little adventure to the pet store or dog park. Dogs are pack animals by nature, and they do best when surrounded by members of their pack or family.
Unfortunately, most of us cannot take our furry family members everywhere, so when we leave, they stay home. Even with doggy doors and extensive access to the outside world via spacious yards, our pups might still spend a lot of time alone. That means plenty of time to get lonely and bored, and lonely, bored dogs are prone to anxiety and anxious behaviors, such as barking, digging, and destruction.
When you cannot be home, dog daycare is a great alternative. As your family gets back into its normal routine with the end of summer, consider giving your dog a new routine, too. At doggy daycare, your dog will be surrounded by a happy, healthy pack. Pups have plenty of positive interactions with both people and other dogs, and their days are filled with fun activities. At Playful Pack, we’ve got lots of options for your dog’s wellbeing and happiness and your peace of mind.
