    Brilliant! Looks like fun to me! Mine will be going to Doggy Day Care sometimes, so it will be interesting to see what she does there.

    I think they are such a good idea! I could never give Benson the fun he has daily with his mates, unless I had 3 more labs that is! ;)

    He looks like he has great fun :)
    I don't use day care, but occasionally my friends has Harley as she has an 8 year old black lab, Harley loves it there :)

    What lovely photos! Buddy has a dog walker 2-3 times a week and he loves jumping in the dog walker's van for outings with other dogs. It seems to tire him out much more than when he is walked on his own!

    From the first photograph it looks like Benson it getting some training from your dog walker also. Great :)

    I've never used a dog walker but they so look like they're having fun. A wonderful bunch of labradors.

    Loving those photos!

    Dexter went to doggy cay care for the first time Friday. I think he had finally recharged his batteries this morning.

    He had a ball according to the woman who looked after him. Plus he made a new friend! :)

    We do a few hours of doggy daycare and can see photos on Facebook.Dexter has a lady that walks and sits him when we go away on holiday or have a commitment that will keep us away from home at his dinner or walk time .
    Benson looks like he's loving it!

    I do wonder if it would be worth having a section for recommended dog walkers/boarders etc? I have a fabulous dog walker, and for boarding Benson for example I go across the bridge (into South Wales) to a dog boarder who I know as a friend, they don't actually advertise anywhere but have the most incredible set up for the dogs at a very reasonable cost. :) They will take Benson even though he is not neutured, and that's something I have noticed is that a lot of dog walkers/day care will not take an un-neutered dog.

    That's a good idea, Kate. Pongo just loves his doggy daycare (we use it about once a fortnight when we both have to be out for the day). I used to feel guilty about using it, now I feel I'm depriving him if I don't!
