Children and pets sometimes struggle to coexist. As a new mom it was so important to me to implement boundaries when it came to my child and my pets. These boundaries were not just to keep my child safe - but to also keep the pets in the house safe and comfortable. As the adults, and the pet/human parents, it is our job to set everyone in the household up for success.

Recently I heard a trainer advising pet parents to stay away from dog daycares, dog parks and pack walks with dog walkers. This sparked my interest in creating a conversation with other pet professionals regarding these 3 things:
- Do you feel doggy daycare creates bad behaviors/habits in dogs?
- Do you think there is a correlation between dogs who go to daycare and then reactivity on walks or around other dogs?
- Do you think daycare "undoes" training?
In this episode I will share some responses to these questions from trainers, behaviorists and dog daycare business owners. Make sure to listen to see what pet professionals are saying about doggy daycare!
The pet industry is widely unregulated. It is our job as pet professionals to make sure we are setting our dogs and staff up for success. Daycare can be a nightmare, or it can be worry-free. In this episode, I give some of my best advice on how you can create safer playgroups in your daycare business.
