Finding Doggy Day Care Indianapolis

By Ina Hunt


Dogs and cats are every bit a part of the family as everyone else. They bring so much fun and joy to their owners and especially to children. Having somewhere for the pets to stay whilst the family is out at work all day is very important. This is even more true for people who work long hours and will be out from dawn til dusk.

For those who have to be out of the house all day finding someone to let out the dog and take them for a walk can be very challenging. Even if they do manage to find someone reliable the animal is still left alone for most of the day. Many dogs are not happy about this and can become quite destructive, simply out of sheer boredom. Having access to a good doggy day care Indianapolis is the answer.

These new facilities are springing up around the country to serve the needs of both pets and their owners. Many people feel bad that they dog is not getting enough exercise or socialization. Most people realize that dogs are pack animals and have a high need to socialize with other dogs. Being alone all the time can be psychologically damaging for them.

The day cares allow the animals to spend time together in a safe and controlled environment. Before they are allowed to play dogs are gradually introduced to each other to ensure that there will be no fighting. Most dogs are very friendly, but some maintain aggressive tendencies that can be a problem in small groups. These dogs often have their own individual runs so they can still get plenty of exercise without causing any trouble.

Owners should always be aware that spending time with their dogs is vital to teach it obedience and social skills. Many dogs are sadly lacking in these basic manners and have a hard time adjusting. Younger dogs are typically the most able to change as they are not set in their ways. However, with careful training and a positive attitude it should be possible for all dogs to improve their behavior.

The age of the dog or dogs is crucial to take into consideration. A very young dog who is little more than a puppy may also have a hard time dealing with all the action. It really depends on the temperament of the individual animal. Some dogs are just naturally social and seem to take everything in their stride. On the other hand a very nervous or timid dog will be quickly over whelmed and may react with aggression.

There are also strict rules about not bringing a sick dog to the care center. Being in close proximity to each other can spread illness fast. In all fairness to the staff, other dogs and their owners a sick dog should stay at home and recover fully before resuming attendance.

Every animal needs a little time to adjust. For some this may be as little as a week, but for others it can be much longer. Most dogs are very social animals and love to be with others. Having the chance to spend time outdoors is also very valuable to their mental and physical health.
