FAQs

What makes Dogtopia different from other dog daycares? ›

At Dogtopia, we pride ourselves on being the first in the dog daycare business to address the need to clean using certified pet-safe chemicals while at the same time effectively killing contagious germs.

Many dogs thrive in daycare and look forward to their daily romp with friends. Other dogs dogs, in fact, don't like daycare at all.

Provides a Safe Place for Dogs to Play

While your dog is spending the day at Dogtopia, you can find comfort in that your dog is receiving extra love from our Canine Coaches in your absence! Plus, while at Dogtopia, dogs play on rubberized flooring, which was specifically picked to ease dogs' joints and paws.

Removing all of this attention from your dog will show them that a nip means no more love or attention. Try a “three-strike you're out” concept—if your dog nips, you say no, and they do it two more times, calmly get up and walk away from the situation. This disruption will distract them from what they were doing.

Often many owners think that doggy daycares are a good replacement or alternative for exercise for their dogs, similar to how many owners view dog parks. The reality though is that for most dogs these types of services are not a good environment or a good match.

As dogs hit social maturity (about 2-4 years) they may become more selective about their friends and they may do well in day care until the onset of social maturity. Of course this is not every dog; some older adult dogs still do really well at day care.

Just like humans, dogs get tired after physical exertion. The level of activity at daycare often surpasses what they would normally do at home, leading to physical tiredness.

If your dog doesn't really enjoy playing with other dogs, is a senior, or is just naturally quiet and happy to sleep all day, the loud and busy atmosphere of doggy daycare may be more stressful than beneficial. Daycare isn't without risks. A daycare environment can be overwhelming and overstimulating for some dogs.

No bones about it, rest makes the daycare experience more enjoyable for your pup! So, can dogs sleep at doggy daycare? It depends on the facility's rules, but generally, yes. Many facilities include structured rest time into their furry clients' day and even have designated areas for snoozing.

What are signs that may indicate a dog is stressed in dogtopia? ›

Loud noises can distract the dogs. A small air horn might do the trick and can be good to have on-hand. If there is a hose nearby, sprinkling water on their heads might snap them out of it. If a dog fight breaks out at your home, find something big and flat to put between the dogs, such as a piece of plywood.

They form strong bonds with their owners, and yes, they do feel our absence if left at home alone, which is why owners opt for doggy daycare. While they might not understand the concept of time like we do, they definitely notice when their favorite human isn't around.

There's a chance that your dog may pick up some undesirable behaviors from their doggy daycare peers. While you can prevent these becoming a problem with regular training, it's still an issue worth considering.

There's no hard and fast rule for how long it takes for a pup to get used to a new environment, including doggy daycare. Also, the amount of time varies from dog to dog. In fact, how long it takes for a dog to get comfy can range from just a few minutes to a couple of visits.
