I created a Dog Daycare Checklist to help you research potential facilities. Grab it here for free!

Welcome to the Dogs & Kids Series! If you've ever considered enrolling your dog in doggy daycare, this episode is for you.

It's something that so many of us parents have considered for our pups after our kids come on the scene and while doggy daycare can be a great outlet for your pup it's also really important to understand what you should expect from a perspective daycare and whether or not daycare is a match for your dog.

So in this episode I'm joined by the insightful Kim Lepic, a dear friend and Certified Professional Dog Trainer with a wealth of experience. Together, we take you on a journey through the world of dog daycare, highlighting the attributes that may suggest your canine companion is daycare-ready.

This episode isn't just about finding a place for your pup to hang out during the day. It's about ensuring that dog daycare becomes a positive experience tailored to your dog's individual needs. Kim and I zoom in on the need for appropriate socialization and its tremendous impact on your dog's daycare experience. We also pinpoint potential risks associated with daycare and share insights on preventing your fur baby from getting too stimulated.

The conversation takes a deeper turn as we share situations when dog daycare might not be the best choice for your canine. We shed light on evaluating a dog's compatibility with other dogs or humans and offer valuable advice for introducing puppies to daycare. It's all about ensuring the right fit for your dog, and sometimes, that might mean they've outgrown daycare - and that's okay! So gear up for a hearty chat filled with doggy wisdom and practical tips that will help you become the dog parent you aspire to be.
