What is Doggie Daycare?

Doggie Daycare is an organized, controlled. and monitored environment for a group of friendly dogs to interact and play throughout the day in an enclosed building or yard. Scheduled activities will depend on the individual daycare owner, but typically there is a rest period where the dogs may nap during the day, which may be in individual housing. The purpose of doggie daycare is to provide stimulation, exercise, socialization, and in some cases training for a dog that might otherwise be left home alone during the day. The owner of the dog receives peace of mind knowing their dog is being cared for by experienced professionals and will be just as tired as they are at the end of a busy day.

Why should I consider Doggie Daycare for my dog?

Many dogs are left home for extended periods of time throughout the day. Busy owners often come home tired and are unable to give their dog the amount of exercise and play their dog really needs to maintain physical and mental health. Without adequate exercise, dogs sometimes develop problems like destructive behavior, incessant barking, and regression in their housebreaking. Guilty owners add to this by overdoing activity on the weekends and feeding treats to make Fluffy happy (and fat).
Dogs are active and social animals. They need to run and romp regularly and for most dogs, the chance to play with other dogs is a joy like no other! For owners with puppies, the most important period in a puppy's life is prior to 16 weeks when all their experiences help to form a fairly permanent adult personality. Animal behavior experts agree that it is very important to socialize your puppy well to give your dog the best start in life. Doggie Daycare can provide excellent socialization opportunities with other dogs and other people.

 

 

What would a typical day at Doggie Daycare be like?

The hours of Manilow's Canine Playground Doggie Daycare are:
Monday - Friday, 6:45 a.m. to 6:30 p.m.

The first couple of hours of the day are when the owners come in to drop off their dogs, depending on what time they need to be at work. Generally, there are only two or three owners coming in at the same time, so it is pretty free flowing and not much congestion of customers all at once. When the dogs are brought inside, they will find a crate for their particular size, where they will stay until it is time to go outside. We try to get them out as soon as possible to begin their day of fun and playing with their other dog friends. They will be put together in different playgroups with other dogs of their same size, age, and nature. Once they are outside, depending on the weather they will stay out for 1-2 hours, and then return inside for a short rest. The dogs are rotated in and out most of the day, with a small rest period around noontime. The owners will generally start to come back between 4:00 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. to pick up their tired and happy dogs to go home for dinner.
