When you pick your pup up from DogDayz after a fun-filled day at camp, it’s not hard to tell if they’ve had a great time. But beyond the wagging tail and happy panting, there are a few other signs that show your dog is truly thriving in daycare. At DogDayz in Noblesville, IN, we pride ourselves on providing a safe, stimulating, and social environment—and your dog’s behavior might just be the proof.
One of the clearest signs your dog enjoys day camp is their excitement at drop-off. If your dog can’t wait to jump out of the car and head toward the entrance, that enthusiasm says it all. Dogs remember positive experiences, and repeated eagerness to return is a great indication that they love where they’re going. Some dogs even recognize the route and start wagging their tails before you pull into the parking lot!
Another sign is improved social skills. If your dog is becoming more comfortable around other dogs or is showing better manners during playdates, daycare is likely helping them build confidence and refine their interactions in a supervised setting. It’s all part of the structured play they get during their day with us. Over time, shy dogs often come out of their shells, and more energetic dogs learn to play more cooperatively.
You may also notice that your pup is calmer at home. Many dogs have loads of energy and need an outlet. After a day of mental and physical stimulation at DogDayz, dogs tend to be more relaxed and content, reducing destructive behaviors and nighttime restlessness. You’ll likely see fewer chewed shoes, scratched doors, or zoomies through the living room.
A healthier appetite and better sleep patterns can also point to a happy camper. Regular play and activity boost your dog’s metabolism and help maintain a healthy routine, making mealtimes and bedtimes more consistent and peaceful. Many pet owners report that their pups eat better and sleep soundly after a full day of engagement.
Lastly, if your dog seems more affectionate or happier in general, there’s a good chance that their time at daycare is enriching their life. Just like humans, dogs benefit from social engagement, exercise, and a change of scenery. You may find your dog is more snuggly, wagging their tail more often, and showing more overall joy at home.
