Many dogs have high energy levels, which makes them engaging companions. However, this also makes it hard for them to stay out of trouble when left at home alone. If you’ve ever come home to toilet paper or pillow fluff all over your floor, your pooch might benefit from dog day care. These programs allow them to play with other dogs, helping their socialization and wearing them out so they can be calmer when they are left by themselves. The guide below looks at some breeds that might find this especially beneficial.

5 High-Energy Dog Breeds

1. Dalmatians

Dalmatians are incredibly intelligent animals. However, with their natural curiosity comes a tendency to get into situations they shouldn’t. 

They were initially bred to be able to run alongside the carriages of their wealthy owners, so they have incredible stamina. Many families take this spotted breed hunting, running, backpacking, and hiking because they love being physically active. 

2. Huskies

They are also hard-working, which is why they did—and still do—serve as sled dogs. This means they are also used to working with a pack. When bored, they tend to howl. Dog day care provides them with both the exercise and friendly bonds they desire.

3. Beagles

Beagles are small with big personalities. Bred to be scent hounds, not only do they have impressive noses, but also the stamina to chase small game like rabbits and squirrels. Beagles are very vocal and have been known to wander. They require persistent leash training and regular activity to avoid meandering.

4. Labrador Retrievers

People rely on labs when hunting because they have an insatiable urge to find game birds like ducks. This breed is the most popular in the U.S. because these dogs are friendly, lovable, and loyal. These medium-to-large pups are often trained as service and detection dogs because of their intellect and drive to please people.

5. Border Collies

Families who have farms often rely on border collies to herd cows, sheep, and other livestock. These furry canines love to round up other animals and drive them toward a direction. They are very smart and only relax when they’ve had a chance to flex their physical and mental muscles. Border collies will likely initiate chase games in dog day care.
