Dog Dude Ranch of Miami

Dog Daycare and Overnight Boarding

Dog Boarding

When there comes a time your family's away, what could be better than sleepovers? While you are away on vacation you can have peace of mind knowing that no place makes your dog dude feel more welcome, safe and comfortable than Dog Dude Ranch. Our overnight buddies have a full day of activities to participate in at no extra charge (see schedule below). What beats a great day of food, fun and games? Nothing! After a full day of fun they'll be ready for one of our comfortable bunkhouse or adjoining private rooms where they can dream of all the fun awaiting them tomorrow!

Dog Day Care

The whole day is ahead for enjoying fresh air, sun, shade or just plain good fun. Even rainy days mean inside fun and games with buddies in one of our large game rooms. Of course, by noontime everyone's ready for a snack and nap. Pick a breezy area inside. Find a cozy chair or bed. What could be better than dozing off, knowing there's still more to come after the break? Afternoon is time for more fun. Friends old and new get to choose between water sports, tug-o-wars, and more socializing. Maybe a swing in the breeze under the portico sounds good?

The Benefits of Dog Dude Ranch Doggie Daycare

Dogs are, by nature, social animals.

In the wild they live in packs and interact with each other and various other stimuli throughout their day. The domesticated dog is quite often deprived of this natural behavior, being left home alone or with limited interaction with new people and dogs. This can lead to destructive behavior such as chewing, barking, unhealthy submissive behavior, separation anxiety and in extreme cases, aggression towards other dogs and people.

A doggie daycare can help meet the social needs of the dog by providing the opportunity for the dog to interact with other dogs, and people,

and develop very healthy and important social skills. Many times, hyper, seemingly uncontrollable dogs become more relaxed and manageable dogs just by having a couple days of daycare activity. Think of doggie daycare like a summer camp for kids.

A second point is the health and activity level for the dog.

Many dogs do not get enough exercise, and in my years of being a veterinary technician, I have seen a rise of obesity in dogs and cats. So think of doggie daycare as your dog's gym time! The dogs are out walking, chasing, playing fetch, and just simply exercising. So, just as some of us like to hit the gym a couple days a week, our doggie daycare will meet the exercise needs of the dogs, helping them stay happier and healthier.

Also, did you know that a well exercised dog is more trainable than one that has unreleased, excessive energy?

Have you ever watched The Dog Whisperer and noticed how he takes the hyper dogs for a run before he starts training them? This is because a dog that has been allowed to release all that extra energy, is more likely to focus long enough to learn and follow the commands you are teaching them. And at the DDR doggie daycare, your dog will get plenty of exercise and we can even help reinforce any training you are currently working on. We also offer professional training through Applause Your Paws. You can even elect to have the trainer come to the DDR and work with your dig while at our daycare. It would be a fun day of lessons and playtime helping to reinforce good manners and behavior. Look for the link to Applause Your Paws at the end of this article.

And how do YOU benefit from all of this?

You can now come home to a more calm, relaxed, happier and healthier dog. After an eventful day of doggie daycare, the dogs are ready to go home and simply relax with you. No more wound up, hyper-excited energy. Of course they will be excited to see you, but once at home, they will most likely find their favorite spot and drift off to dream of their exciting adventures at our doggie daycare! So that gives you moretime to relax and unwind from your day.

So, visit our website and sign u for a FREE day of daycare and see the difference it can make in YOUR dog!

Is your dog already a daycare dude or has stayed with us previously?

Just mention this newsletter and we will gladly offer your dude a free daycare day too!

We also offer special pricing for daycare packages!

Awesome place for my dog. After four days of fun he is recharging his energy, which I never thought possible with a Weimeraner. I will definitely be sending him back and recommending Dog Dude Ranch to friends and family.
