Most of today's common canine behavior problems are a result of boredom, a lack of exercise and a lack of positive sociallization and training. Dogs are social animals and thrive in environments that meet their physical, mental and emotional needs.
Day care enables an already social dog to practice good social skills with other dogs. Puppies that attend day care learn from the adult dogs and other puppies how to be socially appropriate. Lessons learned from other dogs like bite inhibition help owners to teach their puppies not to bite; even in play.
The value of a well-socialized dog is immeasurable. Good social skills with both people and other dogs enhances a dog's self-confidence, provides them more freedom, and enriches their relationship with their human family.
Furthermore, getting together with canine friends and chewing on ears, playing chase or bumper cars, and slobbering on one another is just plain fun!
