Forget doggy daycare, K9 Day School is 100x better, my pup is so excited to play and train with Pam💖 She takes the time to get know each dog individually and only pairs certain dogs together for playtime based on temperaments. During day school, she does some individual training, mental stimulation and helps build confidence in every dog she works with. I highly recommend Pam 10/10
