What is Doggie Daycare?
Do you ever feel just a little guilty about your dog being left home alone?
Let's face it, we are probably all a bit busier than we'd like to be. Between work, endless errands, kids, cleaning, etc., you hardly have a spare moment for yourself. By the time you get everything done, you're completely worn out. You simply don't have the time, or the energy to give your dog the exercise and attention they need.
Our mission is to provide a safe and entertaining environment for your dog to play and socialize with other friendly dogs. Dogs are social animals, and need to interact with other dogs and people on a regular basis. It is especially important for young puppies to learn how to play and interact with other dogs correctly. At our facility, dogs have that opportunity to play and socialize with other friendly dogs in a supervised environment.
The atmosphere at The Doggie Playhouse will foster happier and healthier dogs, thereby enriching the lives of their owners. Our service also gives conscientious dog owners peace of mind knowing that their dog is getting the exercise and socialization that they need. After all, a tired dog is a happy dog.
Whether it's just a few hours a week or everyday, doggie daycare provides an exciting social environment for your dog to romp, learn and play. It also gives your dog that special something to look forward to all week long - a special day, just for them! That's why doggie daycare is one of the hottest trends in America these days! And, after a long day at work, wouldn't it be nice if your dog were just as tired as you are? With daycare, dog owners notice an improvement in social skills, obedience, overall physical condition and attitude with just one or two days of daycare a week. And, the physical activity your dog gets here at The Doggie Playhouse keeps them happy and satisfied even when they're at home! That means no more furniture chewing or bouncing off the walls at home.

A Typical Day at The Doggie Playhouse
Our facility is committed to caring for your dog when you are unable to do so. Throughout the day, your dog will play and socialize with a group of other friendly dogs. Dogs are naturally social animals. Most dogs enjoy the company of other dogs. Our facility is set up for the dogs to interact and play with each other. There is always one of our trained dog handlers in the room to monitor & control the group.
Daycare Dogs can be dropped off between the hours of 6:30am - 10:00am. Between 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm, all dogs have nap time. During this time, the dogs are individually walked and get a break from the playgroup. During the walks, we use basic commands with the dogs. If you would like your dog to be fed during the day to be consistent with his/her regular schedule, we would be happy to do that as well. You will need to bring in his/her own food (in a ziploc baggie) or we offer nutritional food for a small fee. Medications can also be adminstered if needed. The dogs have access to fresh water all day long.
During your dog’s stay at our facility, he/she will learn some basic commands, if he/she does not already know them. Our dog handlers use basic commands with all the dogs throughout the day. (Commands such as stay, sit, off, etc.) In addition to the use of basic commands, our dog handlers use positive reinforcement techniques to keep the dogs safe throughout the day.
After a full day of play at our facility, you will pick up an entertained and well exercised dog ready for a relaxing evening at home.
