Getting Started with Doggie Daycare
Before scheduling a Temperament Test, please be sure to fill out an application, and provide current vaccination records and proof of annual fecal test.
Schedule a Temperament Test
A Temperament Test is a 30-minute evaluation with you and your dog with our daycare manager before starting daycare. This gives our staff a “heads up” on any behavior issues your dog may have before starting daycare. *All materials must be submitted and current BEFORE scheduling a Temperament Test!
Schedule a Play Skills Day
The Play Skills Day is your dog’s first full day of daycare that will serve as a slow introduction to our staff, the facility, and other dogs. This allows our staff to see if your dog will enjoy the daycare environment.
Daycare Features
Your dog can run as much as possible in our climate-controlled, indoor play area and our enormous outdoor play area. Surrounded by an 8-foot fence, your dog can enjoy our artificial turf field as they soak up the Colorado sun.
You can rest assured that our staff is watching your dog at all times while they develop friendships and learn manners through techniques designed by Certified Pet Dog Trainer and Canine Behavior Consultants.
Our vets are standing by at all times in cause the need should arise, and we maintain a strict policy of 1 staff member for every 15 dogs.
With our thorough screening process, temperament testing, and one-day-a-week consistent commitment from our clients, we offer a safe and enjoyable experience for your dog.
