Doggie Daycare vs. the Dog Park
The difference between doggie
daycares and dog parks/group of loose dogs is a controlled environment. Here at
Dog Tired, the staff assumes the position of "alpha." The dogs in day care quickly learn to
recognize staff members as the leaders of the pack. We, as staff, are able to
formulate the best playgroups, match dogs of similar sizes, similar play styles, etc.
Staff also step in to help puppies (aka, "doggie nerds" as we like to call them)
appropriately interact with his/her adult peers. In addition, we help dogs understand when another
dog is not in the mood to play, redirecting their attention and/or matching them
with other equally playful dogs. Staff has the luxury of selecting only those dogs
suited for doggie daycare. Lastly, we keep all food out of the communal areas to
curtail food aggression among the dogs.
