Doggie Daycare

Our doggie daycare engages, teaches and socializes your pet.

The old style of doggy day care was to turn dogs out into a large yard and let them hang out and have at it.In ourstructured doggiedaycare program at All Dog Adventures, dogs rotate between playing with staff, socialization in small groups of 5 or fewer, and rest time. We customize programs to meet pup personalities and age.

By offering a structured environment where dogs play with fewer than 5 other dogs selected based on play styles and temperament, dogs get the socialization and exercise owners want.That way your dog doesn’t get lumped into a group where he or she is injured and bullied. We want your dog to be willing and happy to come to daycare.Our goal is for your pet to go home tired but happy from play and mental stimulation.

We also emphasize socializing your dog with one-on-one human contact. For example, your dog is hand fed at snack time and not simply fed by a bowl on the floor.

 

The result of that haphazard method is that dogs tended to lose the skills they learned in training, pick up and practice the behaviors owners worked so hard to cure them of. Our Doggie Daycare includes the reinforcement of positive habits.We encourage dogs with one-on-one training not to jump up on people or bark while at daycare.

Daycare Dogs’ Activities

 

Walking - All dogs get walked as soon as they get to daycare. This is a time for them to check out who was here last and to “potty”. 

They also get walked several times during the day in between the other activities to have some time with the staff.

 

Socialization - Dogs are grouped with 5 - 6 dogs who have the same play style so there won’t be any injuries or bullying. If a dog doesn’t play well with others he will have some time with a staff member to just hang out in the yard. Socialization groups are outside in our yards always with a staff member. The dogs get several play times depending on the weather. When the weather is great, they get to play time longer and several times outside.

They play inside when it’s too cold or too hot or raining.

 

Break time - All dogs get a break in between the activities. This break is very important to dogs so they don’t get so arroused  while in a group or with very high activity that the behavior takes a turn toward something we don’t want them to practice.

 

One on One - Dogs get at a minimum one training session a day. This training time may be practice of what they are learning in class, such as puppies who need extra practice session. It can be mental stimulation learning a trick, trying out the small agility equipment, body awareness games, impulse control games, or requested manners such as “stay”, down, sit, no jumping. The staff can work on Canine Good Citizen skills for just good manners. Some dogs just get one on one TLC. Others may get play a game of fetch to give more exercise.

 

Extra Activities - Teaching dogs how to use the treadmill is good mental and physical exercise. For a small fee on selected days, the dogs get to swim in our pool.
