Daycare

Daycare is a wonderful option for dogs who require daytime supervision and is a great way to socialize puppies and to build confidence in dogs of all ages. Daycare is a safe and fun way to allow your dog to experience the benefits of pack structure and behaviour, in a controlled and supervised environment. Unlike a dog park, each of our new daycare dogs is thoroughly assessed by one of our qualified staff before being welcomed as a member of the pack. Daycare is not a free-for-all; interactions are guided to be safe and mutually beneficial for all dogs involved.
Daycare Rules & Regulations:
- Safety is our main concern. As such, we ask that you refrain from opening any gates yourself. The shop is equipped with a triple gate system to ensure the dogs' safety. Our staff will open gates for you when it is safe to do so.
- Every dog must come in for a temperament test before being welcomed as a member of our daycare. This involves an assessment of your dog's level of dominance/submissiveness, as well as its ability to read and express canine body language in a safe and appropriate manner.
- Unfortunately we cannot accept unaltered male dogs, and we ask that unaltered females stay at home while in season.
- In order to go for walks, your dog must be licensed.
- Our vaccination requirements are as follows:
* Puppy vaccinations - complete set of parvo/distemper combo.
* A booster vaccination after one year.
* Boosters at least every third year afterwards or titer testing.
* Rabies and Kennel Cough vaccinations are recommended but not required.
- Payment is due at time of service. Ask about our pre-paid punch cards!

Other Information

Excessive barking is not permitted, as it can cause an agitated energy for the rest of the pack. We do use citronella collars as a training aid to avoid this problem.
When walking dogs, we use our own leashes and training collars for maximum safety. Your dog will learn to walk on a loose lead, but training collars will always be used as this is the only type of collar we trust not to break open or slip off.
We are happy to feed your dog meals (if supplied) and/or administer medication if necessary, for no extra charge.
Feel free to speak with one of our staff if you have further questions about daycare.
