Several Columbus Ohio kennels now offer doggie daycare services in addition to regular vacation boarding and grooming services. Pets are dropped off in the morning and picked up in the evening, just like toddlers at a daycare. Some people leave their dogs at doggie daycare several days a week, while others use the services only occasionally.

Doggie daycare is good for dogs who get easily bored when they are alone. These dogs tend to try to find ways to relieve their boredom, ways that sometimes include destructive behaviors like chewing on furniture or tipping over the garbage can. If your dog misbehaves when you are not around, you might want to consider doggie daycare.

Another prime candidate for doggie care is the dog who is not completely housebroken. If your dog is not crate-trained, you are not able to crate your dog all day, or you will be away from home too long for your dog to comfortably “hold it” you should consider doggie daycare. Much like humans, dogs can develop problems like bladder infections if they are not able to relieve themselves frequently.

Finally, if your dog needs more socialization and training, doggie daycare is a perfect solution. Not only do the dogs have human supervision and attention, they also get to interact with other dogs. This interaction makes your dog calmer around other animals. Many Columbus Ohio kennels also offer basic obedience training while the dogs are in the facility.  You will find your dog is calmer and more relaxed after a day at doggie daycare than when he is left home alone.

Before dropping off your precious Fido for the first time, most doggie daycares will want you to complete a questionnaire and have your dog assessed for aggression towards other dogs. Even if your dog has acted badly toward other dogs in the past, it does not mean that they will not do well in a doggie daycare environment, but the facility staff needs to be aware of any issues. Just like you wouldn’t want your dog attacked or bullied by other dog, other owners would not appreciate your dog attacking or bullying their best friend. Many pets, however, enjoy the opportunity to be with other animals and can learn to interact appropriately if given the proper attention.

Doggie daycare can be the solution to many pet-owner dilemmas. Let the friendly staff at Noah’s Too Pet Resort show you around the facility and answer any questions you may have.
