It’s a growing industry in South Korea – kindergartens for puppies.
With many full-time workers too busy to take care of their pets and not wanting to leave them home alone all day, daycare facilities are popping up to meet their need.

At the Puppy’s Spring facility in Gyeonggi-do, dogs older than 12 weeks are accepted, though they must have had their vaccinations.
The centre puts the pups through their paces with a series of games and exercises, to improve obedience and sociability.
There’s also a nap time, when the dogs can unwind to relaxing music.
Fees at the centre range from €190-600, depending on the times and classes attended.
Alongside the burgeoning doggy daycare industry, pet finance, pet medical treatment, pet food and other pet-related industries are blooming rapidly.
It has been predicted that this year South Korea's pet industries will be worth over €3bn.
