Unneutered dog daycare programs and day camp academies can be a great option for pet owners who want to provide their dogs with socialization and exercise.
Some programs offer separate areas for intact males and females to reduce aggression and prevent unwanted breeding.
Intact males require more attention and supervision due to their strong instinct to roam and mark territory, which can be challenging for daycare staff.
Day camp academies often have experienced instructors who can teach basic obedience and manners to dogs of all ages and breeds.
Benefits of Unneutered Dog Daycare
At Pet Camp, they take a more flexible approach to unneutered dog daycare, understanding that every dog is different.
The age at which an intact dog's behavior changes varies, and they don't think a one-size-fits-all rule like "neutered by six months" makes sense.
They have multiple playgroup options for intact dogs, including special playgroups for dogs with "play limitations", so your unneutered dog can still socialize and play with others.
This flexibility is especially beneficial for older intact male dogs, who may not be ideal candidates for all-day play in the Savannah but can still thrive in smaller, more tailored playgroups.

Day Camp Academy
The Day Camp Academy at K9 University is a fantastic way to get your unneutered dog some individualized training. Through this program, your dog can work on specific socialization or basic obedience skills in a fun and engaging way.
Continuous behavior improvement is a key benefit of the Day Camp Academy, as it allows your dog to practice and reinforce new skills in a daycare setting. This is an effective way to see real progress and improvement in your dog's behavior.
At K9 University, they understand the unique needs of unaltered dogs and provide safe and reliable daycare services to meet those needs. Your dog will have the opportunity to play and socialize with other dogs, exercise, and receive quality care.
The Day Camp Academy program is designed to be a fun and engaging experience for your dog, while also providing valuable training and socialization. This is especially important for unneutered dogs, who require extra attention and care.

Intact Dogs at Pet Camp
Intact dogs have unique needs that require special consideration. Some dog daycare and boarding facilities have rules about the age at which a dog must be neutered to participate in group play.
At most facilities, intact dogs are banned from group play after a certain age, typically six months. However, this rule doesn't make sense to Pet Camp, which encourages pet parents to discuss neutering with their veterinarian.
Pet Camp has a more flexible approach, offering six turfed play areas and the massive Savannah dog park. This allows them to create special playgroups for dogs with "play limitations", including intact dogs.
Having an older intact male dog will impact his play at Pet Camp, but they won't ban him from all group play just because he's intact. Instead, they'll work with the pet parent to find a suitable playgroup for their dog.
Pet Camp's Ranger program is designed for dogs that don't enjoy group play or need more physical and mental stimulation. This program can be a great option for intact dogs that require a more tailored approach.

Eligibility and Requirements
To ensure your unneutered dog receives top-notch care at daycare, there are a few requirements you should be aware of.
First and foremost, your dog must be current on and provide documentation of DHPP/DAPP (Distemper), Rabies, and Kennel Cough (Bordetella) immunizations. This is a must for all dogs, regardless of their reproductive status.
In addition, Downtown Dogs requires an evaluation prior to boarding, which involves a four-hour daycare visit. This helps ensure your dog is comfortable and happy in their environment.
If your dog is over seven months old, they must also be spayed or neutered for free play boarding. However, intact dogs can still take advantage of individual daycare or boarding options.
Here are the key eligibility requirements for unneutered dog daycare in a nutshell:
