I don't know what kind of personality Hannah has, but a badly run daycare can actually be stressful for some dogs - they might be afraid of some of their companions, or not have enough alone time.
I agree! Our daycare perosn had a VERY thorough interview with Bandit and how he interacted with her two dogs and evaluated his temperment. She also required all vaccienes. Bandit and Nala LOVE going... when we turn down that road they get so excited and Bandit starts yelping in the car (that's what he does when he gets excited- but only in the car lol) and they RUN to her door. Bandit doesn't form a bond with many people but he has a really strong bond with her. She trains the dogs while they're there also. The only thing I wish was different was that there was a small dog section. However, the lady is AMAZING, and watches them so carefully. You will get a comfortable feeling when you go. I was nervous the first day they each started, but feel totally safe with them going there.
