Daycare Olympics

The Upcoming Olympic Games Provide
a Unique Backdrop to the Dog Daycare Games

While
the world turns their attention to the 2014 Winter Olympics, WagMore Next Door,
Skippack Animal Hospital’s Doggie Daycare, will compete for medals in the first
annual Daycare Games.

Have
you ever wondered what it’s like to control a large group of dogs off-leash?
Most people
imagine mayhem and chaos when you put a group of unknown dogs together.

Professional
pet care businesses, like WagMore Next Door are out to bust that myth. It’s
true that dogs can fight and bite, but it’s also true that certain skills used
by excellent daycare
facilities will keep dogs safe while they play together.

The
Daycare Games are focused on proving who is the best at providing these skills
to the dogs in their care. “We’re hoping to take home the Gold, just like in
the Olympics.” states, Dr. Lisa Evans, owner of locally owned, WagMore Next
Door. “By focusing on the most important skills: getting dogs to sit, having
dogs come, and teaching dogs to wait at the gate, we provide a controlled
environment where dogs get exercise without stress or injury. And this is
accomplished without fear or intimidation!” states Evans.

Robin
Bennett, and Susan Briggs, the co-founders of The Dog Gurus designed the Daycare
Games to be a skills-based challenge that keeps dogs safe and happy and recognizes
top dog daycare providers for their unique skills. “The
dogs love to play these games and we wanted to recognize the handlers and facilities
taking the best care of their pets by having a friendly competition during the Olympics,”
explained Briggs.
