It is a perfect fit. Dogs stay in their environment, same daily routine and Scoob gets to go to day care with her everyday. He is tired and Hope gets a break from the young Mr. Scoob

Can you share the name of your day care place? I too use a day care place for our golden, and he has gotten to know and love certain people there. I'm wondering if it's the same place. could you PM me the name if you don't want to put it out on the forum?

Kulare, our current golden bursts spontaneously into frapping. Our first golden never did this without our initiating it. this is so funny to watch. But how do you use it to eliminate the "excited 10"?

We have gone back to MI for the summer, but when we come back, I would like to get Crosby involved in another training course pursuant to learning to be a therapy dog. I think I would need to start with eliminating the "excited 10."
