Summer is here, and with it come longer days, warmer weather, and plenty of outdoor activities.
For dog owners, summer also means finding ways to keep our furry friends happy, healthy, and entertained.
One of the best solutions? Dog daycare!
Keeping Cool and Comfortable 
While humans love basking in the summer sun, dogs can quickly overheat. Dog daycares have air-conditioned play areas and plenty of shaded outdoor spaces, ensuring your dog stays cool and comfortable even on the hottest days.
This is especially important for breeds more sensitive to heat, such as Bulldogs, Pugs, and other brachycephalic (short-nosed) breeds.
Socialization and Playtime
Summer is a social season, and your dog needs opportunities to socialize, too. Dog daycare provides a safe and controlled environment for your pup to interact with other dogs. This not only helps them burn off energy but also improves their social skills. Well-socialized dogs are happier, less anxious, and better behaved, making them the perfect companions for all your summer activities.
Mental and Physical Stimulation
Dog daycare offers a variety of activities that keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated. From Yappy Hour, Quick Train, and play sessions, your dog will have plenty of opportunities to exercise their body and mind.
This is especially beneficial during the summer months when you might be busy with day trips, work or family commitments!
Extra Positive Reinforcement Training 
Summer often means more gatherings with family and friends, whether it’s a BBQ in the backyard or a weekend getaway. These events can be overwhelming for some dogs, but extra positive reinforcement training can help. Wags & Wiggles offers many training options to help focus on management and obedience, helping your dog learn how to behave appropriately in social settings.
With some extra training, your dog will be the party star, greeting guests politely and staying calm amidst the hustle and bustle.
Building a Routine
Dogs thrive on routine, and dog daycare can help establish a consistent schedule. Regular daycare visits provide structure, which can be especially helpful during the unpredictable summer months when your schedule might be more erratic. A consistent routine can reduce anxiety and create a sense of security for your dog.
Preparing for Family Vacations
Doggie daycare can be a great way to prepare your dog for your absence if you plan a summer vacation. Wags & Wiggles offers boarding services, and familiarizing your dog with the environment beforehand can make the transition smoother. Your dog will already know the staff and the facility, reducing stress and making their stay more enjoyable!
