Dog Parks and Doggy Day Care

Liane and Emily discuss the pros and cons of dog parks and day cares, and provide tips to help ensure that your dog enjoys their day care or dog park experience. We discuss what we see as the fundamental flaws of dog parks and day care centers, and how to ensure that dog owners have the tools to use these places safely.

Dog Daycare and dog parks are both recent phenomena in the world of our dogs, and yet many feel that dogs who do not attend these types of play groups are somewhat missing out.

We explain what we see as the fallacy of this mindset, and describe what we see as fundamental components to create happy well-rounded, and tired dogs.
