Winter in Wisconsin can feel like it lingers on, but it’s snowy beauty and winter sports still make it a season worth embracing. It is perfect for cozying up indoors or enjoying snow sports. However, the cold temperatures and snowy conditions can be challenging for dog owners! The cold temperatures and snowy conditions make it challenging to provide dogs with the amount of exercise, socialization, and mental stimulation they need. Green Acres Pet Resort in DeForest, WI, can help weary dog parents! Our dog daycare program ensures your dog stays active, engaged, and happy, regardless of the wintry conditions outside.
Keeping Dogs Active & Social
Dog daycare provides a safe alternative where dogs can socialize and play without exposure to dangerous winter conditions. Our supervised playgroups ensure positive interactions and plenty of fun all day long.
Preventing Cabin Fever & Destructive Behaviors
Being cooped up indoors can lead to boredom-induced behaviors like excessive chewing, barking, and digging. Structured daycare play sessions help prevent these issues by offering a healthy outlet for energy and mental engagement.
Dogs thrive when given tasks that challenge their minds. Puzzle games, obedience drills, and interactive play keep dogs mentally engaged, preventing destructive habits. Studies show that mental enrichment can be just as tiring as physical exercise, meaning your pup will be satisfied and ready to unwind at the end of the day.
Predictability Lowers Anxiety
Dogs crave routine. A structured day and consistent schedule of participation reduces stress and anxiety. Knowing when and where they’ll play helps prevent restlessness and unwanted attention-seeking behaviors.
Energy Outlet Prevents Hyperactivity
Without proper exercise, dogs may express their pent-up energy through excessive zooming, jumping on guests, or non-stop barking. A well-structured daycare session helps regulate their energy levels, making them calmer and more relaxed to settle in with you at home.
Encourages Positive Socialization & Reduces Reactivity
Daycare provides supervised socialization opportunities, helping dogs build confidence and develop proper play etiquette. Regular interaction with other dogs and caregivers can prevent reactivity and frustration-based behaviors, ensuring your pup remains well-mannered in different environments.
Reinforces Training
Daycare playtime isn’t just about fun—it’s also a great way to reinforce obedience training. Our staff incorporates training elements like training commands, recall skills, and enrichment games to keep dogs engaged. These activities help reinforce positive behaviors and increase responsiveness.
