| Appropriate age for doggie day care my puppy is almost about 12 weeks old. After being with him for an entire month I have to go back to work. I don't want to leave him home alone, and I'm worried he'll cry all day, and possibly get in to trouble since he figured out how to escape from his play pen. I am considering a doggie day care, but I'm hesitant in taking him there because he hasn't had all his shots completed yet since he is still young. also my fiance tells me to drop him off at my mother in law, she has her own dogs but i don't think she'll take propper care of him, any suggestions would greatly be appreciated. |

| I wouldn't take him to a daycare until he's had all of his shots. I left my Joey at home alone when he was 12 weeks old when I had to go to work, and he was fine. I made sure he had plenty of food and water, and I never had any issues with him.

| All the books have read all say that they shouldnt be out in public places (like set down) untill they have had all there shots. Which is usually at 16 weeks. Allthough some say it's okay to take them out as long as they are not set down on the floor. So I think that kinda eleminates the daycare thing. As far as your mother in laws goes I dont think they are supposed to be around other dogs untill they are fully protected against desease. Though I will say maybe get a good sturdy play pen for him and give him a kong toy (that occupies there time so they dont get too bored) and i heard playing a audio book or a video so they hear human noises and that kind of thing is comforting for them. Anways I Hope that helped a bit =D Good luck! |

| Why not try a pet nanny? I have someone that comes to the house and lets Maddie outside and plays for 30 minutes in the middle of the day when I have to work all day. And my "nanny" leaves a little note every time she comes telling me what they did and saying how cute and fun Maddie is ...I don't know if there is anyone in your area that does it, but it has really worked well for me since I don't have to worry as much about her. Around here a 30 minute visit ranges from $10-$20. When they are so little, a heavy play session of 30 minutes is enough to wear my baby out for hours! Good luck! |

| I thnk day care is a great idea. I waited until Peanut had all his shots. The day care Peanut goes to will not take in unless the dog is spayed/neutered. It just depends on the day care. I would really look into it once your puppy has all the shots. Even if it is a couple days a week. When I got Peanut I crated him when I was at work, he was crated from 8am- 3pm I would come home on my lunch and let him out and make sure he was ok... I think even if you have to get an xpen and keep him in there with some toys, bed, blanket, food, water.. I think the nanny/ day care will get very $$$. I mean if you have it great, but its not a "needed" thing.
