What's so great about sending your dog to "daycare," or in Wunderdog's case, "daycamp?" #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!
