[quote=Anonymous]We adopted a puppy in March and I work from home so he doesn't need to go to dog day care on a regular basis.  I've been checking a few them out to see if he likes the place and seems to be well cared for because eventually we will need to board him when we go on vacation.

I've been a bit disturbed by the two we've been to.  The first one we used when we both had to be out of town for the day so he was there from around 8:30-6:15 or so.  My husband picked him up and said that it seemed like hadn't gone to the bathroom all day.   I didn't sign him up for a walk because I they had facilities to let them play outside but the weather was too hot for them to open up the big doors to let them go outside.  Our pup has been housebroken and he won't go inside.  I find it a bit strange that the other dogs there just go whenever and whereever they feel like it.

The second place told me that the dogs don't go outside unless we pay for a walk but that they would take him outside if they noticed that he was holding it all day.

Am I the only one who finds this strange that the dogs don't go outside to go to the bathroom regularly?  Does anyone have a recommendation for a place where the dogs do have access to the outside?

I live in DC but for boarding we will take any recs for good places.  We would also like to find a place for the occasional dog day care.
