Morristown, TN
Leaving your dog in the care of someone else, especially away from home, can be difficult for both you and your fur baby. But at AllDogs, we pride ourselves on providing loving care to all our four-legged guests so that they feel comfortable, relaxed, and have fun while staying with us. But some dogs may be timid at first or leave you wondering whether they really like being at doggie daycare or not. So, today on the blog, check out seven hands-down ways to tell that your dog loves doggie daycare at AllDogs.
They eat well
A dog’s appetite can be affected if they feel stressed, anxious or unhappy. You may even experience the same appetite suppression issues when you’re dealing with a tough situation or are in an environment in which you aren’t very happy or feel scared. But if your dog eats well while at doggie daycare and at home after their visit, that’s a good sign that they don’t feel threatened, scared, or stressed.
They have fun
A dog that has fun while at doggie daycare is assuredly enjoying their time away from home. At AllDogs, we focus on group play but ensure that dogs of similar temperaments and playfulness are put into the same group while other, more laid-back dogs are placed together.
They wag their tail
It’s common knowledge that when a dog wags its tail, it is a sign of happiness and excitement. But dogs that tuck their tails between their legs or don’t wag their tail at all may feel scared, anxious, or threatened. Therefore, a wagging tail is a sign that your dog loves staying with us at AllDogs.
They are social with other dogs
Just like people, dogs have different personalities and some like to socialize while others do not. However, as we previously mentioned, we prefer to group dogs with similar temperaments. Therefore, we are careful to consider your dog’s temperament and willingness to socialize with other dogs as we decide how to group our dogs together for play time.
They obey commands
If your dog feels cared for and comfortable, they are more likely to listen to our staff and obey commands. This is a good sign because a dog that is scared or feels threatened is more likely to disobey.
They don’t seem stressed or anxious
It’s not unusual for a dog to feel timid or shy initially upon trying out doggie daycare at AllDogs, but in most cases, we find that once the dog warms up to us and the other dogs, everyone gets along and has a happy, fun-filled day. But our staff is very mindful of dogs that exhibit anxious behaviors, and we work to help keep the dog calm and relaxed.
