I can't say enough about Doggie Day Trippers!\r
We got our pup at 10 weeks old and did a Ton of research before deciding you enroll her in DDT. They offer services all over town (not just Exclusively to certain neighborhoods) and are, as far as I can tell, one of the only places that offers off-leash group hiking. She is fit, she is noticeably better behaved at night, and she is well socialized.\r
It does get pricey if you're doing it every day, but a half day should cut it for an older pup. Either way, it's one of the best deals in town for pick up/drop off, treats and outdoor fun. Her trip leader loves her, and she adores him, too. She has become the sweetest dog - and while we would love to take all the credit, we have to give credit to Doggie Day Trippers for offering such a wonderful service and socializing her at such a young age. They also offer pet-sitting, leash walking, pee breaks, etc. This is really your best bet for a healthy, happy dog.
