Is Your Dog Ready for Doggie Daycare?

The Real Talk Guide from Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale

Your dog is staring at you right now, isn't it? Those big puppy eyes saying "I'm bored out of my mind and might eat your favorite shoes if you don't do something about it."

Sound familiar? You're not alone. At Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale, tons of dog parents ask us the same thing: "Is my crazy pup actually ready for daycare, or will they cause chaos?"

Great question! Dog daycare can be amazing for some dogs, but let's be honest — not every pup is built for the group party scene. That's why we made this guide to help you figure out if your furry friend is ready to join the pack.

Your Dog Might Be a Daycare Superstar If...

Does your pup tick these boxes? They could be perfect for our crew:

• They actually like other dogs (not just tolerate them)

• They have energy for days and bounce off your walls at home

• New places don't freak them out

• They get into trouble when left alone (hello, chewed furniture)

• They're generally friendly and want to check out everything

• They're shy or nervous and need help socializing

If you're nodding your head thinking "Yep, that's my dog," then chances are they'll love the fun and friends that dog daycare brings.

What Amazing Daycares Actually Do Right

Here's the thing: Bad daycares are basically expensive dog prisons. Good ones? They change your dog's whole life.

At Hounds Town Fort Lauderdale, we do it right:

• Dogs play with others their size and personality type

• Clean, safe indoor spaces where dogs can actually be dogs

• Team members who actually understand dog behavior

• Almost 40 years of experience across all Hounds Town locations

We've developed a smart, behavior-based approach to group play that puts your dog's happiness and safety first.

Our goal? Simple. Create a safe, happy place where your dog can play, make friends, and come home tired and content.

What If Your Dog Isn't Ready Yet?

Not every dog is ready for the daycare life right away. And that's totally fine! Some pups need more time to adjust or might prefer quieter activities.

That's why we offer a free personality check for every new dog. We watch how your pup reacts to our space, our people, and other dogs before putting them in a group.

If daycare isn't the right fit yet, we'll be honest and help you figure out what might work better.
