Pawz For the Day

My husband and I have been taking our puppy to Pawz for the Day for several weeks now and we love it (and so does our pup). This doggy day care facility is unlike the others in our area; it is large, clean, well equipped, and most importantly, staffed by experienced dog trainers. Stacy and John don’t just idly stand around while the dogs run amok. They are actively engaged and play with the dogs and correct any issues that may arise. This gives me piece of mind and I feel confident that my pup isn’t picking up any bad habits and is learning to play well with others. The facility is very clean and any messes are immediately cleaned up. When I drop off my pup in the morning, I feel confident that he is in wonderful, caring hands and will have a great time.

I am a fan of this whole facility. I have boarded dogs at the kennel on the facility and have taken dog training classes at the facility next door. Therefore, when my Border Collie started telling me that she needed more exercise than my working life would allow, I immediately thought about daycare at Pawz for the Day.
I have never taken a dog to daycare. I wasn’t sure what to expect. John was very patient in describing how it works and how he handles pack integration. I left Allie with him for the time suggested and was very interested to hear how my very shy girl would do with a stranger and a bunch of strange dogs.
John and Stacy know that my girl is a shy rescue. They have taken their time earning her trust and helping her blossom. Each time I pick her up, we chat briefly about her progress. I feel good about how they treat her. She is starting to be happy to show up. I can tell that she is happy when she is there. She has even started to learn to play, which she had never learned as a rescue dog who had been stuck on a short chain for her early years.
Today I picked her up and Stacy was beaming. She was proud to report that Allie had spent the morning playing. Yes, playing. Amazing! She also was pleased to share that Allie is very friendly now with the various staff members who may stop in from time to time. I expected to have Allie get some exercise during the day. What I get is much more. They are helping me teach Allie that the world is a fun place and dog love to play. I feel good dropping her off at daycare. Thanks, John and Stacy, for treating Allie with such care.
