Play Groups - What Do You Think? I would like to get Luci into a play group with other small dogs. She seems to be a bit timid around other dogs and I would like to break her of that. I have checked out one place in my area. They would do a 6 hour evaluation with her...see how she is without me, see how she is with the staff, see how she is with other dogs, etc. Then I would like to drop her off once (maybe twice) a week for an hour or two to play. Has anyone done this? I'm a little afraid of leaving her for 6 hours (I just don't want her to be scared and think I'm abandoning her), but I understand they need to evaluate her behavior. I really want her to socialize and be comfortable around other dogs her size. Any advice? Thanks! |
It sounds good to me. I wish we had something like that around here. |
Me too! I know that simonandhallie takes her dogs to a daycare, and they love it! |
My girls go to "daycare" twice a week and get to play with other dogs their size....they stay at with my groomer (she does daycare) and they love it!!! Most of the time their is one or two other little dogs there that they can play around with...I think it is great for them!!! |
I think the socialization of the fur babies is a great thing. ;) Keep us posted on how it all goes with Luci. Hope she enjoys it. :) |
I think it is a wonderful idea also. I wonder why they need 6 hours to evaluate her. I'm sure they do - but it seems like a long first visit. Carol Jean |
I think it's a great idea, but six hours is a little long first visit if you ask me. Please keep us posted, I'm sure she will have fun. :) :) :) |
I thought 6 hours was a lot for the first time. He said that's what they suggest, but it doesn't have to be that long. I understand it needing to be more than an hour or so...just to give her time to adjust. When I set up the eval I will probably make it for less time (or call after 2 or 3 hours to see how she's doing). ;) This is at a doggie day care facility, so if it works out, it will be nice to know I will have a place to leave her if I have to be gone for long periods and don't have anyone to watch her. But initially my intention is to bring her once a week for maybe 2 hours just to play. Hopefully she'll meet some new friends. :hug: |
