Step 3: Temperamental Test & Trial Daycare Day

All dogs visiting our city location must:

  • Be comfortable around other dogs and people. We are a highly social environment and all dogs are placed in group settings with staff present.

  • All dogs must pass a temperamental test/trial day of daycare. We typically arrange the trial day on one of our less busy days to ensure they are comfortable in our environment, the other dogs, and the staff. 

  • We do recommend arriving as early as possible for the trial day of daycare between 7am-9am during weekdays and 9am-11am on Saturday’s. This allows us to familiarize with the dog when we are at the least busy part of our day and ensures your dog is comfortable and adjusting to the new environment with the best support from the staff team. We open at 7am on weekdays, 9am on Saturdays, and 12pm on Sundays. We suggest dropping off within the first hour of opening to avoid first pack greetings at the busiest times of the day.

  • Any dogs displaying signs of aggression to humans will be unable to stay at our facilities.
