The first three months of a pup’s life contribute to its personality and future temperament. These months mold how it responds to its environment and train and socialize as an adult.

A puppy that’s exposed to various situations, noises, textures, smells, and places can do great at a doggy daycare facility. Services at doggy daycare offer this exposure so they can get out and meet other animals and people with trained professionals and within a supervised area. Here’s what you need to know about attending puppy daycare regularly.

Socializing Your Puppy

Puppies that don’t socialize enough may develop a fear of day-to-day social and environmental situations. Some dogs are likely to fear children or be anxious about traveling in a car. These puppies grow up to be aggressive dogs when they see others of their own kind on the street.

However, properly socializing with other pets and people allows them to experience these situations in an environment where they feel safe. Consequently, they positively respond to new people, signs, smells, and sounds.

Exposure to Positive Experiences

Taking your furry friend to doggy daycare will allow it to interact with all the trainers at the pet resort. This will give it more confidence when it’s around new people and in new situations. Moreover, your puppy’s exposure to other dogs of different sizes, breeds, and ages at a young age will prevent its fear of other pets.

Going to doggy daycare will also expose it to many surfaces like soft floors, slick floors, Astroturf, and different types of toys to play with. This will make it more familiar with sounds like cleaning machinery (clickers and vacuums), and the barking and howling of other dogs.
