Summary: Both a dog park and a dog daycare are a place for your dog to get lots of exercise while playing with his friends. Beyond that the experience is quite different.Where a dog park is free, daycares cost money. You get to stay and interact and play with the other dogs and people at a dog park but a daycare allows you to take a break while your dog is having fun.The biggest difference is the socialization and safety of your dog. Like anything that is free, a dog park involves more caution and risk. Daycares carefully monitor the dog's health and behavior that participate in the play.If you take anything away from this episode it's this: If your goal is to socialize your dog then a daycare is a place to go. If you have a dog that is already well socialized, then a daycare still works. A dog park can too, as long as you use common sense and caution.In this episode, I go through the pros and cons of each so you can decide what is best for you and your dog.<br> <a class="synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-facebook nolightbox" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Share on Facebook" href="http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.playtimepaws.com%2Fdog-daycare-vs-dog-parks%2F&t=YNP%20%23013%3A%20Dog%20Park%20vs.%20Dog%20Daycare&s=100&p%5Burl%5D=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.playtimepaws.com%2Fdog-daycare-vs-dog-parks%2F&p%5Bimages%5D%5B0%5D=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.playtimepaws.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F09%2F13-dog-park.png&p%5Btitle%5D=YNP%20%23013%3A%20Dog%20Park%20vs.%20Dog%20Daycare" style="font-size: 0px; width: 24px; height: 24px; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 5px;"></a><a class="synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-twitter nolightbox" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Share on Twitter" href="https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.playtimepaws.com%2Fdog-daycare-vs-dog-parks%2F&text=Hey%20check%20this%20out" style="font-size: 0px; width: 24px; height: 24px; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 5px;"></a><a class="synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-reddit nolightbox" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Share on Reddit" href="http://www.reddit.com/submit?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.playtimepaws.com%2Fdog-daycare-vs-dog-parks%2F&title=YNP%20%23013%3A%20Dog%20Park%20vs.%20Dog%20Daycare" style="font-size: 0px; width: 24px; height: 24px; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 5px;"></a><a class="synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-pinterest nolightbox" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Pin it with Pinterest" href="http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.playtimepaws.com%2Fdog-daycare-vs-dog-parks%2F&media=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.playtimepaws.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2017%2F09%2F13-dog-park.png&description=YNP%20%23013%3A%20Dog%20Park%20vs.%20Dog%20Daycare" style="font-size: 0px; width: 24px; height: 24px; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 5px;"></a><a class="synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-social-size-24 synved-social-resolution-single synved-social-provider-linkedin nolightbox" target="_blank" rel="nofollow" title="Share on Linkedin" href="http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.playtimepaws.com%2Fdog-daycare-vs-dog-parks%2F&title=YNP%20%23013%3A%20Dog%20Park%20vs.%20Dog%20Daycare" style="font-size: 0px; width: 24px; height: 24px; margin: 0; margin-bottom: 5px; margin-right: 5px;"></a><a class="synved-social-button synved-social-button-share synved-soc..."></a>
