FYI regarding the "indoor" potty areas. Dogs do NOT start doing their business indoors because they do it at daycare. I have no idea why, but again they DO NOT associate indoors there is indoors at home. So don't use that as a reason to not go to a daycare.
Trust me, I thought the same thing, especially since we were having potty issues with Koji being fine going in his crate. So we were very worried. Since he's been going to daycare, we haven't had any issues at home. So please, just know that if your dog goes "indoors" at a daycare, it'll be fine. I can link you to my daycare where they explain that if you want.

Barb, I'd have to agree with everyone else regarding Indy's behavior. Koji is an angel at daycare, everyone loves him. In fact, no one believed me that he has an on-leash aggression issue. Because off-lead, he's great! So, I hate to say it, but daycare once a week won't work. I think it's more of a fence/protection issue.

And lastly, I've only seen one daycare at Petsmart near me. My first impressions was 1. there was but 1 person in the room with the bigs/littles (not each). 2. there were WAY too many dogs in that one area 3. Some dogs were getting aggressive because of the lack of space and 4. the big dogs couldn't even try to run, not enough space, not even close.
I personally wouldn't put my dogs in daycare there. But then, I have a lot of options where I live. And Petsmart would be the very last on my list.

I always hope that one day, Koji will snap out of it and stop lunging/barking at every dog and human. Ugh!
