Doggie Daycare Round 2

When we got Mulligan a year or so ago we knew that we wanted to socialize him and have him have lots of friends. We took him to the dog park and he loved it. It wasn't quite a dog park, just a park over run by dogs and the police started coming. To avoid a $250 ticket his dog park days were done. We also put him into doggie day care which he loved. 4 or 5 months later he was "expelled" and asked to not return. We were never given a real reason, we were never told that he was aggressive, just that he would much rather play in small groups.



Fast forward about 1 year and we decided to put him in day care again. We chose Dogaroo here in Midtown because my clients had said great things about them and we liked how they had certified trainers working with the dog. He had his temperament trial day last Thursday and he did GREAT! He got a report card and was described as curious, friendly, playful, alert, happy, eager, responsive, confident, high energy, and out going. Yup. I would call Mulligan all those things. We were told that we could bring him back at anytime and that they really enjoyed working with him. He got a report card (which is pictured above) and it is now hanging on our refrigerator. What can I say, we're proud parents. I was most excited to see and hear that he passed and was welcomed back in the future. they're a little far away but well worth it.
Unfortunately, Mulligan was not as tired as he usually was when he went to daycare, but we think it's because he did not get put in the yard until 11 AM. Other things we love about this place, they take daily pictures of your dog... mull of course lunged at the camera so he looks like a fool in all of them and they also have webcams... so i can watch him all day at work.
