Dog parks and day cares. Do they promote bad dog behaviors?
Both are good for socialization but not good for picking up bad habits. As far as day cares go throughly research the place and ask a lot of questions of the staff, make surprise visits during the day they should have no problems with that and allow you to view the dog. Most have web cams set up so you can view your dog during the day. The day care staff should be able to control the dogs and prevent aggressive behavior. If a dog shows aggression they are asked not to come back. Good staff will work with a dog as far as socialization and making them comfortable. The first day I took mine they were stressed out because they thought we were boarding them, the staff filled me in when I called and said they will work with the dogs to make them feel comfortable and get over their stress, they did and now they enjoy themselves whenever they go, when I ask of their progress they tell me that they were good and played a lot. Dog parks rely on owners to correct and stop their dogs bad behavior,
