**Before booking- be aware that ALL dogs must be spayed or neutered BEFORE they turn 9 months of age in order to attend daycare or boarding with us. They are also required to have the Rabies, Da2pp, and Bordetella vaccines all up to date (proof of vaccines must be sent to us BEFORE the day of the assessment), and monthly flea and lice prevention as well.
We require an assessment to be done because we are an open play facility where many dogs are socializing together in a group. We need time to determine if your dog is a good fit for our pack, and vise versa.
Things we look for in the assessment:
1- That your dog has been highly socialized with other dogs.
*Meeting a large pack of dogs can be too frightening and overwhelming for dogs who are not well socialized and they may react with fear or even aggression. This environment is best for dogs who are highly social and not fearful of being in large groups of dogs.
2- That your dog is comfortable being handled by us.
*We are finding that many dogs who endured covid and all of its restrictions on socialization are now more fearful of people. This may result in them trying to bite our staff whey they need to be handled during our day to day routine. For the safety of our staff all dogs must be friendly with humans.
3- That your dog has basic listening skills.
*All dogs must be capable of listening, whether that's coming when called, or listening when they are told to stop a certain behavoiur.
4- For anyone looking for boarding services (overnight stays): Dogs must be familiar with and able to remain calm and relaxed when being put in a hotel room.
* Our hotel rooms are farily large and spacious, however if a dog has never been kenneld or crate trained it may not react well to being put in its room for naps and overnight. If your dog becomes stressed and barks constantly, or is destructive to their room this will not be a good fit for them.
5- Displays of any kind of aggresion are an automatic fail.
If you would like to proceed with booking the half day assessment, fill out an online registration form located on the homepage of our website. Once all required information has been entered you will need to book a date and time. Once the request has been sent to us we will send you an email with instructions on how to send us your vaccines. The appointment will not be confirmed until we receive your vaccines. Upon arrival the morning of the assessment, you will be instructed to give your dog over to one of our lovely employees, and told to return to pick your pup up between 2-3pm. Payment will be collected upon drop off. When you return you will be taken through the facility for a tour. From that point on you are free to bring your dog in for daycare (no pre-booking is necessary) or boarding (by reservation only) anytime you need.
1dog- $20 + tax
2dogs- $34 + tax
We look forward to meeting you and your pup!!
