5 Benefits of a dog attending a structured doggie daycare over a typical free-roaming daycare

Let’s get right into it!

1.Advocating: A structured daycare (such as Tail Swaggers) helps make sure every dogs personal space is advocated for. This gives each dog the confidence to know they are safe and what they are feeling matters. This is a very important quality you want to make sure your daycare holds. If a dog is not properly advocated for they can start to resort to other unwanted behaviors because they feel they have no other option. At Tail Swaggers we make sure to get to know your dog's own individual needs so we can do our part to help them overcome their insecurities and truly feel comfortable enough to build his/her confidence overtime.

2. Supervision and Safety: In a structured doggie daycare, dogs are closely supervised by trained staff members. This ensures a safe environment where potential conflicts or accidents can be quickly addressed, reducing the risk of injuries or incidents.

2. Socialization Opportunities: Structured doggie daycares often have organized playgroups and activities such as structured walks and place time that promote positive neutral socialization among dogs. This helps dogs develop proper social skills, learn appropriate play behaviors, learn to relax around other dogs and build confidence in a controlled and supervised setting.

3. Mental Stimulation & Tailored playtime: Structured daycares usually offer various enrichment activities, such as puzzle toys, agility, and interactive games. At Tail Swaggers we even provide training throughout the day to help your dog development good habits that transitions when they go home with you. Daycares with structure typically have scheduled exercise and play sessions that cater to each dog's energy level, size, and temperament. This ensures that dogs receive appropriate physical exercise and playtime, with the appropriate dogs that will respect their space and match their energy levels well.

5. Individualized Attention and Care: Structured daycares often have a lower staff-to-dog ratio, allowing for more individualized attention and care. This means that staff members can better understand and meet the specific needs of each dog, whether it's providing medication, additional love and attention, or addressing any special requirements.

By opting for a structured doggie daycare, you can provide your furry friend with a safe, stimulating, and well-supervised environment that promotes socialization, mental engagement, and tailored care.

Offering a structured doggie daycare has allowed many of our dog’s at Tail Swaggers to build confidence, bridge communication gaps between the dog and their owner, and allow the dog a place to feel comfortable being themselves. Our structure has allowed many Swaggers to thrive where they wouldn’t if they were in a place that provided no guidance or advocacy. We have seen shy dogs blossom and gain confidence. As well as confident energetic dogs learn how to relax and understand balance and calmness. We focus on the quality of care we are providing you and your dog.

At Tail Swaggers, our goal is to create an environment that supports and encourages you and your dog becoming the best version of yourselves. We do that be learning about you and your dog, what y’alls needs are, and focus ways to add to your life.
