How are dogs grouped during daycare?
Dogs are separated into Standard playgroups (typically 10-15 dogs) or Specialized groups (1-3 dogs) based on size, activity level, and individual temperament. Standard playgroups are split between two buildings: the Front Building holds up to 25 small and extra small dogs, and the Back Building holds up to 25 medium and large dogs.
What does a typical day look like for dogs in daycare?
Dogs follow a routine with 8 hours of playtime split into 1-3 hour chunks with kennel breaks in between for rest and staff cleaning. Standard dogs play with friends, work on socialization skills, play with toys, practice manners with staff, and receive pets and cuddles. Specialized dogs receive more personalized schedules and enrichment games tailored to their individual needs.
