What is their philosophy on dogs?
Dogs come to daycare to have fun, but in order to maintain a safe environment, they also need to play by the rules that we set for them. At Social Lounge, we believe that it is important for dogs to have structure in their playtime and not think that they can do what they want, when they want and how they want. Through the use of basic command practice and positive reinforcement methods, the dogs learn that good behavior brings good rewards (play, treats, verbal and physical praise). We have found that by using positive reinforcement methods, the dogs actually want to learn and are eager to please us. While appropriate behaviors are reinforced, inappropriate behaviors are disciplined, through the use of time outs or loss of play. By consistently applying these techniques, we can help ensure that every dog has a fun and safe experience while at daycare.
Is Daycare right for your dog?
While most dogs enjoy playing and wrestling with other dogs, there are some that do not. Some dogs do not like to share toys/treats or are nervous around people. These dogs will find daycare to be too stressful and would prefer to be in their own home environment. How a dog reacts at daycare depends on their socialization experiences. If you are unsure if daycare is right for your dog, we are able to discuss any concerns with you over the phone or with an interview.
