Steps to Ensure Safety
As
evidenced by trained staff and close supervision of the dog playgroups, you
can
easily see how
doggie daycares are safer than un-manned dog parks. Now,
let's take a moment to
discuss the extra steps Dog Tired takes to ensure the safest
environment possible
for your dog(s).
* Temperament Test:
During the temperament test, staff take time to discuss any
potential
problems/concerns with the dog's owner. Our next step is to introduce the new dog to the other
dogs in daycare. We are very selective about the dogs we introduce first, using
those that attend daycare frequently and do well amidst a variety of personalities. As
the dog acclimates to his new surroundings, staff keep a watchful eye for any signs of
aggression. Posturing is to be expected. A new dog may emit a nervous growl to let
the other dogs know that he needs some space. Overt aggression
and lunging at other
dogs, however, is not tolerated at Dog Tired.
*
Similar sizes: Having an animal behavior
background and training, Kari can say, with
assurance, that dogs
of mixed sizes can do well together. Though we never put a small dog in with the larger
dogs without the owner's prior approval.
