Back-to-School Means a New Routine (for Dogs, Too!)
All summer, the kids have been home, the family has taken vacations together and the beloved family pets have gotten plenty of attention. Now the kids are back in school, their parents are at work and the dog is home bored, waiting for everyone to return at the end of the day.
Sound familiar? Doggie daycare may be a great solution. It’s an opportunity to interact with other dogs and people, reduce or eliminate destructive behavior resulting from boredom or separation anxiety, and expend energy so they’ll rest better at night.
At Ruff Housing, dogs receive lots of one-on-one attention in a safe, happy environment. Owners can even view their dogs via webcams throughout the day. For more information and to find out whether daycare may be a good choice for your dog, call one of Ruff Housing’s locations or go to www.ruffhousing.com.
