Jackson's never been to doggie daycare; however, he's been around SO many different
types of dogs from the time I brought him home at 9 weeks old. At first, he was only
around the dogs we lived with at our home, which is my mom's 4 year old Cockapoo, and
my dad's dogs. After his shots, he's played at the dog park, he's played with Labs, Golden Retrievers,
poodle mixes, Pit Bull, Jack Russels, Rottweilers, Bulldogs, all kinds of dogs. I think socialization
is great as early as possible. Jackson LOVES all dogs he comes across and always has.
I tihnk you made the right choice! I think they benefit from being around others of
their species and teaches them how to play and interact with other dogs properly.
Dogs teach each other a lot of times which is nice. It can also be bad, lol. They can
also pick up on other dogs bad habits - so watch out for that! But in general, I think
doggie daycare is better than spending 8+ hours a day home alone.
