Is MY Dog the Weirdo at Dog Daycare?

Writer's picture: The Dog ZoneThe Dog Zone

Dog daycare can be a bit like high school for our doggos. There’s a serious social scene at play with cliques, and of course that one dog who marches to the beat of their own drum. Here are the various “characters” we spot at daycare, and why being a little odd can actually be a great thing. (We will not name names... except one).


1. The Quirky Genius

Imagine your dog as the quirky kid in class who’s always a bit different. They’ve got their own way of doing things, like chasing shadows or trying to herd the leaves in the yard. They might be the one who’s obsessed with that one specific toy or who has an unusual way of greeting their friends. If your dog is the Quirky Genius, they’re probably the one who does their own thing, much to the amusement and bewilderment of everyone around them. And that’s okay—quirkiness is often just genius in disguise!


2. The Perpetual Daydreamer

This is the dog who’s always a little out of sync with the rest of the pack. While everyone’s running around and playing, they’re sitting in a corner, staring off into the distance like they’re contemplating the meaning of life or planning their next big adventure. If your dog is the Perpetual Daydreamer, they might seem a bit aloof, but don’t let that fool you. They’re just busy being the philosophical poet of the pack, dreaming up epic adventures and pondering existential questions.


3. The Overly Dramatic Diva

Let’s be honest—every group has one, and at dog daycare, it’s the Overly Dramatic Diva. This dog is always making a scene, whether it’s because they didn’t get the best spot in the sun or they’re having a melodramatic reaction to getting a little dirt on their fur. They’re the canine equivalent of a soap opera star, always turning heads and stealing the spotlight. If your dog is the Diva, they’re likely the one who brings a little extra flair to the pack’s daily routine. Embrace it—after all, every pack needs a bit of drama to keep things interesting!


4. The Eccentric Entertainer

If your dog is the Eccentric Entertainer, they’re the life of the party. They might perform oddball tricks, initiate spontaneous games of tag, or get everyone howling with their wacky antics. They’re like the class clown who’s always up to something, making sure there’s never a dull moment. Whether they’re rolling around in the grass, doing somersaults, or just being a goofball, they’re there to keep the energy high and the smiles wide. They’re the reason why daycare is such a blast for everyone involved.


5. The Mysterious loner (Franklyn)

Not every dog is a social butterfly. Some prefer to keep to themselves, observing from the sidelines like a secret agent on a covert mission. The Mysterious Loner might not engage as much with the other dogs, but that doesn’t mean they’re unhappy. They’re just more of a reserved character, quietly watching the action unfold. If this sounds like your dog, they’re likely the introverted mastermind who’s content with their own company and just enjoys being part of the group in their own unique way.


6. The Flamboyant Fashionista

This is the dog who’s always dressed to impress. Whether it’s a stylish bandana, a snazzy collar, or even a full-blown costume, the Flamboyant Fashionista is never shy about making a statement. They strut their stuff with an air of confidence, and their wardrobe choices are the talk of the daycare. If your dog falls into this category, they’re probably the one making fashion waves and turning heads with every appearance. It’s all about that doggie couture!


7. The Intense Competitor

And then we have the Intense Competitor. This dog is always ready for a challenge, whether it’s a game of fetch, a tug-of-war, or just trying to outdo everyone else in the playgroup. They’re the ones who give 110% in everything they do, and their competitive spirit can be both entertaining and exhausting. If your dog is the competitor, they bring a level of enthusiasm and drive to daycare that keeps everyone on their toes. It’s all in good fun—though you might want to keep an eye on them to ensure they’re not getting too carried away.


The important thing is that they’re being themselves and contributing their unique vibe to the pack. Embrace your dog’s individuality, because in the world of dog daycare, every character adds something special to the mix. After all, a little weirdness makes life a lot more fun!


Cheers! - Trina.
