We need to know how your dog greets and interacts with other dogs and cats as well as people and kids. We will need to know if they have any medications, or accommodations that may be needed such as raised or orthopedic beds. Does your dog need a slow feeder for food or water?

Our goal is to provide balance between play and rest for your dogs. A dog that has constant stimulation at daycare will need constant stimulation at home which is not realistic for day to day life. During drop off times {7:30-9:30) is free time for the dogs. They go out to go potty, investigate each other and the space, and entertain themselves with each other and toys. Once drop offs are complete, we will spend an hour on engaging play, including tug, fetch, hide and seek, and getting down with the dogs. After that we have a 30-60 minute rest period. As they become active again we will get a potty break, and do free time while also doing meal time for any pups that need mid-day meals. This takes no more than 30 minutes. After which we engage is more mental enrichment, this can include training, puzzle treat dispensers, snuffle mats, and interactive toys such as beehive toys (toys that have toys inside them to extract). Most pups need more rest after training and mental stimulation, so we will have another rest period. As everyone gets active again we have a potty break and move to engaged play again. From there it is free time as dogs will start getting picked up and want to rest again. Depending on weather, we could spend an entire day outside in the sun, or inside avoiding rain and snow with additional potty breaks based on needs. Potty breaks are offered usually every 1.5-2 hours, but more frequently for puppies and seniors.
