Daycare

Exercise and play groups

Dogs meet in the yards, in small groups, with a handler in the yard rather than watching from the door. Groups are built by size, by play style and by what the assessment showed — not by who happens to be in on a Tuesday.

  • Four to seven dogs in a group. Not twenty.
  • A handler is in the yard the whole time. This is the single line most facilities do not write down.
  • Two yards, one small and one long, with a gate between and a solid fence rather than a chain link, because dogs behave differently when they can see through a barrier at dogs they cannot reach.
  • Any dog can opt out. A dog that does not want a group gets its yard turns on its own or on a lead with a handler, at no extra charge, for as long as it wants that.

The gate between the two yards. A handler opens it, and the groups are never through it together.

A quiet dog is not a problem. A quiet dog is not a problem to be solved. Some dogs never join a group in five years of staying here and go home perfectly happy. We will not tell you your dog 'needs socialising'.

How we decide which group, if any

Are those dates free?

The calendar shows every night, for every suite class, with how many are left and what that night costs. Nothing is paid on this website: you pay when you collect.
