I used to work at a doggie daycare and took Pongy there a few times. She was definitely not a happy camper and always looked to escape. My co workers had to lock her up when I wasn’t there because she would get stressed and when she escaped, she would snap at the people trying to bring her back.

However! When it was almost closing time and we were down to the last few dogs, she would actually play and be okay. She would always look for me but she seemed more calm in a one on one dog environment.

Some dogs (usually the obnoxious labs & huskies) LOVEEEE it there. It just really depends on your doggie’s personality. I find that shibas (other than Pongy) are the shy ones at doggie daycare. It sucks since the owners usually bring them there to ‘tire them out’ but it turns out they don’t do much anyways.

woops.. wrote a really long comment. Sorry!
