Dog Daycare

.The best SBT is an indifferent one , when it comes to other dogs.

I agree with this.

The dog daycare I worked at put a "bull breed ban" in place after a few months, because experience taught them that things can go from ok to horrid very quickly, even with social individuals. We were very careful with supervision and seperating into small groups withh ALL the breeds, but were always on hyper alert with the bull breeds.

I'm not bull breed bashing, because I own a staffy, and even with dogs he loves, play sessions have to be short and sweet otherwise he just gets overstimulated and doesn't want to stop when the other dog does, and that's when the problems start, even with the lovely dog-social ones.

The inital owners of the dog daycare I worked at own bull breeds (it has changed hands now) :laugh: so didn't have a ban on them in the daycare (though other daycares did ban them).

good so it's not only me! Short and sweet play sessions sounds achievable and keep me in control.
