What's so great about sending your dog to "daycare," or in Wunderdog's case, "daycamp?"  
There are many reasons to do it, here are the TOP TEN:

#1:  It gives your dog (or puppy) socialization with other canines in a safe, relaxed setting (very important to a dog's happiness).

#2:  It offers you a "guilt-free" day knowing that your dog is having FUN, and being fulfilled.

#3:  Your daily training (manners, etc.) are reinforced in a positive way (all Wunderdogs have to sit at entrances and exits; they are taught to "wait," have group obedience, etc.)

#4: Your dog will receive structure~something very important to a dog's piece-of-mind; we play HARD, but we positively reinforce "order"~for all our dog's safety and mental health.  

#5: If you have a puppy, and you need to work, your pup will be trained during your working hours! It costs about the same as having someone come into your home.

#6: If your dog hasn't been properly socialized with people and/or other dogs, daycamp is one way to start acclimating him/her~this spills over to every day life!

#7: Your dog will receive true cardio exercise; if you are looking to get your dog "fit," look no further!

#8: Your dog will receive crate-time (short intervals) which reinforces the crate as a happy, safe-haven.  Crating is a dog's "den," and should be a comfortable place for your dog to go to.

#9: Daycamp is a great way for you to learn about your dog's innate behavior.  It is good training for both owner and dog in the art of communication~your Wundercaregiver will always lend an ear to you, and provide a voice for your dog.

#10: Your dog will learn to trust other humans (outside of your "pack")~this is important for many reasons~but mainly for transitioning into different and necessary scenarios (examples: vet care, grooming, boarding, traveling, etc.).  He/she will be exposed to many sounds and sights DIFFERENT from your home--again, this is great exposure for your dog!

If you want to learn more about our daycamp program, go to the main menu and choose "Camp Wunderdog."
