  • Don’t get upset – While it might seem like a natural reaction to get upset or maybe even to panic, there is no real reason to react this way. If your pup is well-behaved and doesn’t have issues with other dogs or people, there is no reason why your pup couldn’t find a different doggy daycare that is a better fit for them. It is all about finding the right place for them.
  • Research other doggy daycare locations – This is the time to do your research, ask around, and get recommendations for other locations that might be a better fit. Perhaps your pup just needs a daycare that can accomodate their energy. Whatever it is that your pup needs, find a new daycare that may be able to help them have fun and be comfortable.
  • Figure out what your pup needs – Make sure you understand why your pup got kicked out of their initial doggy daycare. It can help you figure out what it is they need to have better success in a different daycare. It can also make it easier to determine if they even need daycare. Maybe all your pup needs is a chance to play at a dog park or a play date with a friend’s pup.
  • Find a doggy daycare that can handle your dog’s needs – While this is technically part of the research step, it is important that this is its own step. Maybe you have a Breed of dog that needs something special, whether that is a certain level of activity or a chance to play with a specific dog. Whatever it is that your pup needs, find a daycare that can handle them and makes them happy.

Even if your pup does get kicked out of doggy daycare, there is no reason to worry. Maybe your pup just doesn’t want to be in daycare (it happens) or maybe they can’t handle being around so many dogs (even if they are good with other dogs). Whatever the reason, as long as your pup is happy and healthy, everything will be okay. And if they need a pet sitter, finding someone who understands your dog’s individual needs is the best course of action in the long run.
