[MENTION=860]jillh10[/MENTION] - Stig's daycare is also crate-free, but fully supervised, which is such a great feature. He usually goes once in the middle of the week unless we find that he's being a menace more than usual. If more than once, then never consecutive days so that he can have a breather in between. You'll find that it may take him a few days to recuperate, at first, after a day of fun. Right now Stig needs a couple of days to relax before he returns to hyper mode again.
I don't think he really picked up any bad habits at all. He's starting to jump to say hello, but I'm guessing that's because we haven't taught him to stop yet. Also he owner did mention that he's quite a humper, which I've never seen him do here! He also got into a mini-altercation with a german sheppard. But it was mostly Stig's fault because like [MENTION=572]Libra926[/MENTION]'s Vegas, he didn't realize that he was in the g.s.'s bubble. He tends to pick a 'favourite' for the day and follow them around everywhere. From what the owner said, he usually picks someone his size to be his bff for the day, but on that day he chose the g.s. who was 4 times bigger than him and didn't appreciate the audience. So the gs nipped a little as a warning and Stig had a 1cm long scratch. But Stig didn't have any hard feelings at all because he still gets really excited when he realizes that he's spending the day there.
. So yes, if you mean it improves their behaviour in that they're not so rambunctious because they spent their day playing with other doggies, I highly recommend it. Linus will most likely have a blast if he attends occasionally too.
