Daycare is open Monday through Friday from 7:30am until 6:00pm. We are closed for major holidays: New Year's Day, Memorial Day, Fourth of July, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. Daily Schedule
Dogs need structure just like kids, so we organize our day fairly rigorously to keep things flowing smoothly: | 7:30-9am | Check-in | | 8:30-11:30am | Group play | | 11:30-2pm | Naptime, daytime training, and walks for dogs in daytime boarding Visiting hours | | 2:00-6:00pm | Group play | | 6:00pm | Check-out |
Check-in
We open for check-in at 7:30am. Dogs are assigned individual crates where they hang out until 8:30am, at which time we cry havoc and let loose the hounds. Group play
Group play is supervised so that all of the dogs can enjoy their time together. Our main job is to watch the gang carefully and redirect any escalating behavior before a problem occurs. Owners are not allowed in the play area since their presence tends to cause some dogs to go into guard mode. In the near future, we're looking to install closed circuit TV and a webcam so that we can safely share the fun. Naptime
Dog daycare is kind of like Dollywood for Dogs. It's wildly exciting; there are all sorts of things to investigate, smell, play with, and chase. Dogs need some downtime to calm down, relax, and renew their energy reserves. Otherwise, you could be taking home a tired, cranky dog instead of a tired, happy dog. At naptime, each dog gets his own crate with a soft, fresh-from-the-dryer mat and a treat-filled Kong to chew on. Truth be told, we dim the lights and put on some nice, soft Baroque music to set the mood for drifting off. Check-out
Because we run evening classes, all dogs must be checked out by 6:00pm. Visiting hours
We're very proud of our facility, and love to show it off. Please call ahead for an appointment so that we can make arrangements for covering the dogs as well as the front office while we're visiting. | |
