Hi all
We’re considering rescuing a dog but as first time dog owners with primary aged kids, we are trying to make sure our lifestyle would be fair for the dog. I wfh full time, we have a large amount of parks near by and I have no issues meeting the exercise requirements. We have a large fenced in garden and space for the dog to have a quiet sleeping area. My youngest child is 5 and we’re working on confidence with dogs in preparation. From that respect, I feel like we’re doing our homework. The one issue I can’t resolve is what happens with ad hoc day trips (post Covid of course!). My assumption is that we’d need to adjust to dog friendly trips, but the kids enjoy Kidzania and we have planned a post Covid celebration trip to Harry Potter studios as a treat. Both of those things would mean we are out of the house from very early to late afternoon. In this instance, what’s the option for the dog? Do doggy daycares take dogs on ad hoc requirements or does that stress the dog too much as it’s not routine?
Would love to hear from dog owners in similar situations.
