I thought doggie daycare would be a good idea in the winter months so I brought my puppy to an "evaluation day" at a local non-chain training/daycare place. Well they showed me the "daycare" and I was horrified. It basically consisted of a room with about 30 crates and every one of them filled with barking dogs, going berzerk wishing they could go out. This is at 2:00pm on a Tuesday. They assured me that they rotate the dogs out. I saw one person working in the back and he was tending to a tub, which apparently people pay them extra to give their dogs a bath. Theres one caged area outside that had 2 menacing looking dogs out there (mind you, it's 30 degrees out there today) and then another similiar caged area inside that had 2 dobermans and a pitbull. I'm pretty sure these must be the dogs too wild for them to control. I couldn't get out of there fast enough. My last image was an adult flashy fawn boxer in a plastic crate barking at me like "take me with you!"
Is this what doggie daycare is supposed to be? I could lock my dog in a crate all day for free. What a scam. I'm absolutely horrified. Oggie is getting hot dogs for dinner tonight.
