Drop off times
Drop off is from 7:30 am to 9:00 am Monday – Friday. During this time dogs get acquainted with each other and they are separated into their appropriate play group. This is a time to stabilize the pack. When dogs enter the daycare floor after 9:00 am without going through proper introduction, the pack is destabilized.
Our Daycare Model
We build stable canine packs and minimize your dog’s stress. What’s a “stable canine pack?” It’s a social unit where the dogs are known to each dog.
Coming to dog daycare is like your dog visiting their own dog family. They become eager to reconnect with their known pals each time they arrive.
-
Owners enjoy a dog-free, guilt-free day weekly.
-
Dogs are under constant supervision.
-
Dogs are in a clean environment.
-
Dogs learn appropriate Canine-Social Skills.
-
Dogs acquire canine friends, play, enjoy a stimulating environment and go home TIRED!
Owners choose the day(s) of the week they will bring their dog and commit to bringing the dog on the same day weekly. This model ensures familiarity among the dogs and reduces stress.
By attending daycare on a weekly basis, your dog is helped to learn (trained!) appropriate canine social skills; inappropriate play patterns are consistently interrupted.
-
Dogs must undergo a scheduled handling evaluation prior to day care attendance. The evaluation shows that the dog accepts human handling. (The dog allows his paws and ears to be handled, his teeth to be inspected and to be lifted up off the floor.) Not all dogs are daycare candidates.
-
Owners must present written proof of up-to-date immunization from a veterinarian at the time of their application appointment. Veterinary immunization records may be emailed to: info@smarterthanyourdog.com or faxed to (866)850-7557.
-
If owners have chosen to forego immunizations, a veterinarian statement is required.
-
To keep playtime fun, we will communicate with owners on their unaltered dogs day-care at the age of 6-8 months.
-
Pups may attend daycare once their immunizations are complete (approximately 4 months of age).
