we have been taking our aussie mix to dogs world of fun for just over 2 years. he goes almost every day. when we first took our dog in as a stray, we knew very little about his breed. we learned very quickly that cattle dogs need more attention than we had been able to give him, and to show us how he felt about that, he was being very destructive in our house. at one point, we were worried that we would have to give him up to a family that could meet his needs better. as a last ditch effort, i called steve at dogs world of fun. he explained to me that blue just needed ""a job,"" and that they would be happy to have him. the first morning that i dropped him off there, i was very nervous. but steve and the staff talked me through it, and didn't mind that i called numerous times during the day to check on him. that first month that he was there, he was so exhausted from running and playing with the other dogs all day that he slept all evening and through the night!!! blue loves going. on days that we don't go, he paces the house and hovers by the door, waiting for someone to take him to daycare. if we even say the word ""daycare,"" he heads for his leash and stands by the door. i have NO concerns about the activities while he is there...the staff greet us happily every morning, they interact with him as often as possible during the day, when he is picked up in the evenings they let us know how his day had been and what he had been up to. they have taught him tricks, and worked with him on obedience. he has ""friends"" at daycare, and is so excited to play and bark and run and act crazy with them. on days when the weather is drizzly or gross out, they will rinse him off so he doesn't come home smelling like wet dog. the owner is aware of my pay schedule, and works with me by letting me bring blue even if i haven't paid for my sessions yet. i understand that dogs can fight, and in a large group like they have there it is not uncommon for there to be problems, but blue has NEVER once come home with any sort of injury, ever!!! he has been groomed there as well, and he looked so handsome with his haircut!!\r

Pros: they take WONDERFUL care of my dog
