HOW MANY STEPS?
Dogtopia.com/Bearden-Knoxville
HUMANS ARE ADVISED to get at least 10,000 steps every day, but what about our furry family members? Dogs who spend their day at home versus those who attend Dogtopia daycare see a big difference in daily step count. Those who spends their day at home will walk less than 8,000 steps a day. When a dog attends Dogtopia daycare, they will walk upwards of 30,000 steps per day - that’s three times more than that of a dog who spends their day lounging at home!

When your dog spends the day at Dogtopia, they get exercise disguised as play, loads of socialization with their BFFFs (Best Furry Friends Forever), and plenty of interaction with our caring team! Excessive licking, barking, digging, and chewing are likely to not be as prominent if a dog receives daily exercise such as a walk outside, fetch in the yard, or regular daycare. At Dogtopia, traditional “exercise” becomes never ending fun! Here are just a few of the ways dogs enjoy movement daycare:
• Bubbles: Dogtopia dogs love chasing bubbles around the playroom! While they pounce and jump through the air after them, they are moving their bodies and building endurance!
• Follow the Leader: A Canine Coach will walk around the playroom, and dogs will be rewarded for following the leader! This game focuses on listening skills and the bond with the Canine Coach.
• Agility Games: Dogs enjoy running upon or jumping around playroom structures. Canine Coaches praise dogs who follow verbal instruction. While building strength and muscle, it also boosts a dog’s confidence!
• Brain Games: In addition to physical exercise, dogs love to test their mental skills, too! Brain games encourage dogs to solve problems using their senses and problem-solving skills.
Pet parents love the benefits that come with seeing their dog living their best life! Get your dog enrolled so they can play the day away while also giving you peace of mind they are in a place that puts their wellness first.
