First of all, the dogs learn how to play with other dogs and increase their social skills. Second, dogs use up a lot of energy during their playtime, which makes for a well rested pet at night. Rather than coming home to a hyper dog that has been alone all day and craves attention, you can pick up a dog whose energy level more closely matches yours in the evening. Third, dog daycare helps alleviate behavior problems. Most trainers agree that a majority of behavior problems (for example, excessive barking, chewing and digging) result from a lack of exercise. Finally, you can have peace of mind knowing your dog will be well cared for and having fun during the day while you are out. No more guilt!
