re: Are dog daycares really necessary?

Day cares are god send. Try and keep up with a German Short hair pointer. Quick tip: you can’t.

It’s saved me from destruction.

My dogs go in their kennels. They don’t mind it. We make sure they get to play though. And one of us is usually home during the day at some point to let them run around.

I lived in NYC and with work and commute was gone 12hrs/day. My middle-aged GSD was fine with just a dog walker but when I got a Cavalier puppy doggie daycare was a godsend. Helped with housetraining and just general happiness of the pups. When I moved out of NYC but still worked long hours in the office I brought my Cavalier to daycare 2-3 times/week. Sometimes more often because I'd take him out to potty in the morning and he'd jump in the car hoping I'd take him to daycare. So much better for them mentally than being stuck in the house alone for hours and hours on end.

Now I work from home so no need but they definitely serve a purpose.

I agree, depending on the breed, dogs sleep up to 18 hours a day. I don't think its necessary for them to be entertained all day.

I drove out to play Pebble Beach at the beginning of the month and dropped my dog off somewhere bc it’s easier to play golf without a dog

Camp bow wow started in Boulder. I developed their POS system about 13 years ago

I used one almost every day last year almost while traveling. I couldn't leave her in the hotel room if I wanted housekeeping.

What if you have a pitbull that kills another dog at the daycare. Will they own your house??

Best place in Colorado. I used one while staying in Broomfield for a month while visiting. My dog would would try to jump out the window when we arrived in the morning trying to get in there.

I'm taking mine on a walk to the Rusty Nail for a drink
