Dogs are inherently social animals, but without proper socialization, puppies and adult dogs can develop undesirable behaviors such as being skittish, nervous, or even reactive/aggressive. It's crucial to provide your dog with social interaction and structure. You have two options: socialize them in unscreened dog parks or dog-friendly areas, or bring them to doggy daycare, where we offer a structured, convenient, and safe environment for your dog to learn social skills and exercise. Plenty of Mental Stimulation and Physical Activity: Daycare not only tires out your pup but also helps reduce unwanted behaviors like chewing on furniture, shoes, or excessive barking. A safe outlet for highly active/energetic dogs: Your dog will engage in group play throughout the day. We do also offer quiet, down-time for dogs to rest and recoup! Reduce Separation Anxiety: Daycare provides your pup with time away from you in a secure, safe, and fun environment, helping them get used to alone time. Our staff gives your dog the attention and care needed to make their stay as fear-free as possible. Socialize with Similar-Sized Dogs: Dogs benefit from interacting with other dogs! Each dog is evaluated to ensure appropriate play. At Aunt Lucy's, we do everything to maintain a safe and healthy environment. Dogs are separated by size, and we do not mix large and small breeds.
