With Lockdown still in place many are struggling to socialise their dogs and enable them to mix with other dogs, or integrate with other humans than just their owners,this is a tough balancing act with so many restrictions, no pubs, visiting friends or family.

5 Huge Benefits of Doggie Daycare

Forget locking your dog up in a crate for long hours or leaving her home alone while you work all day or even if your trying to homeschool, work from home as well as keeping on top of your house work. We are in surreal times. Willows Wags and Whiskers Doggie daycare offers a lots of benefits that make life easier for you while providing your fur baby with a safe and stimulating environment.

Just 5 key benefits that your pup will get from visiting our day care

Socializing

From the puppy stage and into adulthood, consistent socialization is incredibly important for the behavioural development of a dog. They learn to be comfortable when meeting new people and pets, reducing stress, aggression, and skittish behaviour. At Willows wags and Whiskers, we are conscious of allowing puppies to mix together while being aware of each individual dog we have in day care, their temperaments and who needs them dinner time cuddles

2. Relieve separation anxiety

When a dog is left for hours at a time, a dog might feel separation anxiety or become bored. This can result in destructive behavior, where you come home to chewed up shoes, dog beds or furniture. Does this sound familiar, even if you’re working at home its difficult to keep your eye on them 24/7 Doggy day-care cancels out boredom and relieves separation anxiety. With loving human helpers and plenty of doggie pals to keep your baby busy. With lockdown we see that more dogs are spending more time at home with their humans and therefore when time comes to go back to work when lockdown lifted, this problem can be magnified.

3. Your dog is safe

Let’s face it; sometimes our naughty angels like to hop the backyard fence or escape the crate. How can you make sure your dog is safe while you’re at work? We monitor all our guests around the clock, with safety being the No. 1 priority. Your babies will be looked after by professionals that are dog lovers at heart- so you’ll feel good knowing your fur-baby is in loving hands.

4. Implement a routine

Dogs thrive from routine. By dropping your pup off at Willows, not only do you keep a consistent schedule, but they will become comfortable and confident knowing what to expect and who they will be around. You already know she will get the chance to socialize and will be monitored by experienced professionals. As well, daily exercise is no longer another item on that overflowing to-do-list.

5. Peace of mind

No matter how busy your day gets, you’ll never have to worry about your dog when there at daycare. No guilt or dropping by home on your lunch break to check on them. Without distraction, you can focus on work while your precious woofer is having a great fun with their friends but under a watchful eye of the team at Willows
