Yes, it's me again and SURPRISE! I have another question...Daniel and I both have a long commute to work and are unable to come home during lunch to take care of Byron. Thus, we have hired a petsitter to come in for an hour to take him out, feed him, play with him, etc. She also owns a newfoundland and is fantastic, but we are now thinking of introducing him to doggy day care once or twice a week and then having the petsitter come in when he's not at doggy day care. There are two day cares in the area, one is owned by a woman with three newfs and the other is owned by a woman with four berners. My question is whether Byron is too young (he's 16 weeks) right now to introduce him into doggy day care, especially when I know that he will be playing with such large dogs. In the long run, I think it's great that he'll have dogs his size, but for now I'm a little weary. I'm sure the owners would keep them from rough-housing too much, but I just don't want him to get hurt. I keep reading conflicting opinions about when you should enroll a dog in doggy day care. Any suggestions?
