As the waning days of summer fade and the school year beckons, families prepare for the rhythm of rekindled routines. Amidst this hustle, it’s vital to consider our canine companions. Dogs – pack animals by nature and by now accustomed to summer’s constant companionship – may experience a bit of separation anxiety as schedules shift.
Here are four essential tips to prepare your dog for back-to-school (and how DogsWorld Canine Resort can help):
1) Make gradual adjustments: Where and when possible, ease your dog into new schedules gradually to minimize stress.
2) Practice departure cues: Normalize things by practicing kids’ departures for school and/or work without making a fuss.
3) Provide enrichment activities: Healthy distractions are key. Keep your dog mentally and physically stimulated with interactive toys and games.
4) Enlist the help of a Quality Pet Resort: Consider enrolling your dog in a reputable pet resort like DogsWorld for socialization and stimulation.
Here, our amazing team offers:
- Positive distractions: DogsWorld has been described as “an amusement park for dogs,” and it’s easy to see why. Our 7,000-square-foot outdoor park, known as The Wag Zone, provides a safe place for high-octane fun, while air-conditioned indoor play areas provide an alternative on rainy days.
- Supervised play sessions: Our team will engage your dog in supervised playtime to keep them physically and mentally stimulated (while their kids are doing the same at school!) Fun-filled excitement is our specialty, and at the end of the day, your kids will be greeted by a well-exercised, satisfied dog.
- Professional care: You can trust our trained and compassionate staff to ensure your dog’s safety and well-being at all times. Additionally, we offer Social Daycare for dogs who love to be part of a pack, or Personal Daycare for those who prefer “two-legged” pals. Our Enhanced Daycare option caters to highly motivated and energetic dogs with extra play and themed events.
