JMO, but there is too big a risk of my dog developing problems in this situation. I'm not going to trust all of those other dogs just because their owners do. I'm not going to trust the supervisor of the daycare just because his boss does. And I'm not going to trust my dog to consistently react in the perfect way when I'm not there, day after day. How would you know if your dog was fearful and stressed after you left?
I would rather my dog was in a crate most of the day, and let out by a trusted neighbor, family friend, or dog walker that I could train to act appropriately with my dog.
Again, JMHO, and your mileage may certainly vary.
And definitely not the place for a dog like Enzo or Logan LOL
Your opinions are all valid reasons of why I would never leave my dog anywhere but with me or at home. And definitely not for Enzo - could you imagine the carnage??!
Fama at a petsmart class...priceless. I guess she would punch the trainer first...or whomever got the closest. Last I saw, they put up a circular divider where everyone was in close proximity. Fighting ring?
I used to work at a daycare place and even coming from a naive point in my life, I felt that it was not safe. I cringed at how it was run. Dogs were just kind of thrown together in crowded yards. Nightmare, there was no structure. One smaller dog almost got ripped apart by to bigger dogs...all because somebody didn't check the yard to be sure it was clear before letting those to in.
You can put compatible dog together to play for sessions...alternating with other groups....as long as its properly monitored, unhappy dogs are taken out...etc...it not a bad idea for some.
A tired dog is a good dog, a trained dog is a better dog.

It looks like a jailyard to me, with the dogs in a glassed in cage. There is no way either Jethro or Skipper would be in there. Jethro because he would be causing a ruckus left, right and centre, and Skipper because he would be trembling from stress. I can't bear the thought.
Ryuk would lead a revolt....seriously, it would take about 10 minutes.....
I remember when I used to bring him to the more dog park part of the dog trails....if left to his own devices he'd lead hunts against owners standing away from the group....
That whole set-up seems like a massive lawsuit waiting to happen....
I'd like to see a video of that lady when the $#!+ hits the fan and half the dogs decide they don't want to act like sweet little fur babies anymore.
Fur babies or not , I saw a couple of terriers in there. Trouble making little bassids!
