Dog day care provides the same services as a day care, but for your dachshunds instead of your children. This can be a good idea for someone who has a dachshund who demands a lot of attention and large amounts of play and energy, but maybe your job forces you to go away for periods of time, or your dachshund has separation anxiety--and misbehaves when separated for too long. DOG day care is experiencing a huge jump in popularity. The basic idea with DOG day care is really easy. If you're gone a lot during the day, but have dachshunds who need constant attention, or other DOGS to play with, then you can drop them off at a place where they can interact with people and other DOGS.

With toys and company, this is a great place for your high energy dachshunds who need attention during the day when you can't provide it. This usually a great solution for high energy DOGS, though this can vary based on personality and breed. Certain breeds of DOGS tend to be very aggressive, or very over-protective of their owners. For this type of DOG, a DOG day care is not the best solution for your pet. So your dachshunds personality also will have a lot to do with whether or not this is a good decision for your pet.

Most DOG day care centers will be based in large, open spaces, such as a pole building or renovated warehouses. This gives the DOGS the space they need and can help divide the high energy DOGS from the low energy, the large from the small. Aside from an indoor area, most will also have an outdoor exercise area, and even include "time-out" areas for DOGS who get too rowdy and need to calm down a little. For those who know their pets need more energy, more time to play, then DOG day care might be a great idea.
