Healthy Dog Play vs. Overstimulation: What Vancouver Dog Parents Need to Know
Overstimulation at daycare looks like excitement — until it isn't. Learn how to tell healthy dog play from arousal overload, and what a good environment prevents. Dog daycare should feel safe, balanced, and joyful. At its best, it gives dogs a place to play, explore, rest, and build confidence in a way that feels natural to them. But not all play is healthy play, and not all excitement is good excitement. Understanding the difference between healthy play and overstimulation helps parents choose a daycare where their dog can truly thrive, not just cope.
