My dog was kicked out of daycare. Now what?

Don’t worry, your daycare dropout isn’t a bad dog! Just as some people don’t thrive at a crowded concert or packed party, a daycare setting isn’t right for all dogs. If your dog was asked not to return to a daycare facility, consider these exercise options instead.

Daycare: Yes or No?
Doggie daycare is a fantastic outlet for lots of social, energetic dogs. The dogs get tons of stimulation and exercise at daycare while their people are at work, and by the evening, everyone is ready to wind down together. But there are many dogs that don’t do well in the bustling daycare environment. This may include:

• older dogs with less patience for exuberant adolescents,
• dogs that play too rough or get overly aroused,
• dogs that need a lot of personal space,
• dogs that are too small to safely interact with the other dogs,
• puppies that have not been vaccinated, or adults that haven't been spayed/neutered.

If your dog falls into one of these categories, don’t panic. There are plenty of other ways to give your dog the exercise and stimulation he needs.
