We understand your goal of wanting your dog tired after a day of play with their buddies, but its also important that exhaustion is not the only measure of success when you bring your dog for a play session. Our approach in daycare when having off-leash play is to balance physical exercise, mental activities, and rest periods. Physical exercise is the most obvious benefit of off-leash play and it's what most pet parents think about. But for your dog's health, we also consider it important to provide mental stimulation.
Research studies show that dogs need 12-18 hours of sleep per day. Dogs that require larger amounts of sleep include:
- Puppies
- Senior dogs
- Large breed dogs
- Dogs in active households
- Dogs that attend daycare multiple days per week
- Dogs participating in sports such as agility, fly ball, or rally-o
