Daycare here isn’t a room full of dogs and a teenager on a phone. Every yard is supervised by me, a certified dog trainer with more than 15 years in the business. Play stays play. The pushy dog gets coached, the nervous dog gets backup, and nobody gets left to sort it out alone.
One Pack, Run by a Trainer
A lot of daycares split dogs into small groups and hope for the best. We’re a training facility, so we do it differently: every dog plays together as one pack, and I’m the one running it. I read body language all day, step in before tension turns into trouble, and reward the calm choices you want to see more of at home. Dogs pick up a lot of manners from a well-run pack. That’s the whole point.
Tired, Not Wired
A dog who runs nonstop all day doesn’t come home tired. He comes home fried, and you pay for it all evening. We build rest into the day on purpose, so your dog gets real play and real downtime and comes home ready to crash instead of bouncing off the walls.
Hours
Monday to Friday. Drop-off and pickup between 7:30 AM and 5:30 PM.
Pricing
Full day (5 hours or more): $45, or save with a pack: 5 days for $210, 10 days for $390, 20 days for $720.
Half day (under 5 hours): $35, or 5 days for $160, 10 days for $300, 20 days for $560.
More than one dog? 10% off your second dog and every dog after that.
Your First Day Is Free
Every new dog starts with a free Meet & Greet day of daycare. It’s how your dog meets the pack and gets comfortable with the space, and how I figure out whether daycare is the right fit. Some dogs need a slower start, so we build a plan to ease them in. And if daycare isn’t the right call for your dog, I’ll tell you straight and point you toward something that will actually help, like board and train or day training.
Who Can Join
Vaccines: current distemper, Bordetella, and rabies, plus registration in your home town.
Puppies: the full series of three distemper shots plus rabies and Bordetella, which usually puts them around 16 weeks old.
Spay and neuter: dogs six months and younger can come as they are. Once your dog is over six months, they’ll need to be spayed or neutered before they come back.
A Tip for Day One
Skip the long goodbye. A quick, upbeat handoff tells your dog this is no big deal. A drawn-out, emotional farewell tells them something is wrong, and they walk in worried. Hand over the leash, say see you later, and go. We’ve got it from there.
What to Bring
A leash for drop-off and pickup (required) and a collar with a name tag.
Arrival
