Bringing a puppy home can be a wonderful and exciting experience. Puppies are cute and cuddly, and they offer great companionship for you and your family. As cute as they are, however, puppies also require a lot of extra care and attention, especially at first.
For many families finding the time to care for a puppy can be daunting, but puppy day care in Northcote can help by taking on some of this burden for you. In fact, there are many great benefits of using a puppy day care.
Training
From toilet training to learning to sit, training a puppy takes time and consistency. Leaving a puppy home alone for long period of time can deter the training process. However, when your puppy goes to daycare, the staff will continuously work to train your puppy during the day. Working together with your daycare provider throughout this process is very important to training success.
Socialisation
Dogs are pack animals by nature, so they love being around other dogs. At daycare, your puppy will interact with a variety of other puppies in a safe and secure environment. This will teach your puppy at a very young age how to interact with other dogs, which will provide a lifetime of benefits.
Activity
If you can’t be home with your puppy during the day, you likely will need to keep him in a separate room or crate. Without activity during the day, your puppy can become bored very quickly, which can lead to disruptive behaviour, such as chewing and barking. While your away, your dog will enjoy both indoor and outdoor playtime to prevent such boredom. Best of all, when you get home from a long day of work, your puppy won’t be busting with unused energy. Instead, your puppy will have had plenty of exercise throughout the day. Don’t worry though, your puppy will still be up for a walk in the evening.
Human Interaction
Human interaction at a young age is crucial for all types of puppies. The earlier they interact with multiple humans, the better. Instead of leaving your puppy home alone all day, daycare allows your puppy to engage with staff members, who will love them and play with them throughout the day. This will make it easier for your puppy to interact with your family, as well as with guests that come to your home.
