Summertime can bring new challenges for pet parents, especially for your pups with a little extra tail-wagging energy! Doggy Daycare during summer is the perfect recipe for keeping your dogs out of trouble and into days of fun-loving canine excitement that includes running, ball-chasing, and sniffing with the Country Kennels’ doggo crew.
At Country Kennels, our premier Doggy Daycare in Leduc County, we lead the pack in providing safe and compassionate care for your rambunctious, shy, or goofy dogs. We cater to and welcome all furry companions — whether they need lots of puzzle toys, high-intensity play, or prefer cuddles and snuggles from our highly trained, caring staff.
Turn Snarls, Whines & Snaps into Happy Zoomies, Tail-Chases & Belly-up Bliss
If the phrase “What do I do with the dog today?” keeps coming to mind, don’t fret. Our Doggy Daycare staff are trained to get your pooch doing figure-eights and circles while tail-chasing their pup pals and exploring our 3 acres of outdoor greenspace.
Whatever your dog’s needs — extra attention, releasing excess energy, more pup pals — we adjust our day based on their needs.
Some common activities your dog can do at Doggy Daycare during summer include:
- Free play
- Structured activities
- Fetch games
- Various toys
- Pools (summer months)
Pawsing for the Signals
With a busy life and multiple priorities, it’s sometimes hard to spot behavioural issues in your seemingly happy doggo. The summer months are often when behavioural issues escalate and can be harder to get under control.
Here are a few common behavioural signals to watch out for:
- Chewing, licking excessively (cushions, shoes, self)
- Constant or increased barking/howling (often due to boredom)
- Whining or pawing at doors
- Pacing or restlessness
- Digging in gardens
Your normally fun-loving pup may be trying to tell you they need a little more: frequent walks, playtime with their #1 human or nightly cuddles on the couch (with some extra treats, of course!)
Predictable Days & Peaceful Nights
A routine is key to preventing your dog from being understimulated (or overstimulated). A change of focus is often the solution; without it, boredom sets in and can lead to excessive chewing, barking or exhibiting other negative behaviours that can wreak havoc on their mental and physical health and ultimately your shoes and furniture.
Doggy Daycare in Leduc County gets your doggo back on track with a routine. This includes:
- Group Play
- Playgroup matching for energy, personality and size dynamics
- Supervised playtime
- Scheduled quiet time
These balanced activities for your pup pal at Doggy Daycare during the summer months help them practice safe habits at daycare that they can bring home. Your home then becomes a happier place for your whole family.
Goodbye to Hot Cars and Lonely Days
Summer months are warm with long evenings in Leduc County. While you’re busy doing errands or prepping for your upcoming camping trip, your dog can get overheated in just a few minutes in a hot car or home alone without proper ventilation.
Country Kennels has indoor air-conditioned kennels for your tail-wagging pup to play comfortably in the summer. Our staff are trained to spot behavioural cues that your hound is too hot or uncomfortable being outdoors and swiftly bring them into a cooler space for quiet time or relaxed play.
Our 3+ acres of outdoor space give your dog the freedom to explore and sniff calmly or excitedly with doggos their own size, play style, and energy level for maximum pup satisfaction.
