Is your dog sitting at home waiting for you to walk through the door, so you
will play with them?

Does your dog have destructive behaviors such as digging, chewing or barking
while you are gone?

We have the answer!  Your dog needs play time with other dogs!  Many dogs
are bored during the day, which causes bad behaviors.  They want to be part
of a pack - playing, running and being a DOG!

Dog Daycare is like a day at the park with supervision!  Drop your dog off for
the day and we provide a
fun, stimulating environment where your fur kid can
play, strengthen their doggie social interaction skills, and practice basic
obedience.  Staff is trained to watch for conflicts between dogs and separate
them as needed.

Our philosophy:
...Dogs need social interaction with other dogs so they are part of a "pack"    
   and can learn how to play with other dogs correctly

...Play and activity is important for physical and mental stimulation for dogs   
   of all ages.

We provide a great environment for play including:

                 safe, secure indoor and outdoor
                 environments

                 year-round climate controlled

                 rubber flooring for traction

                 indoor potty pit w/hydrant

Playing is fun, but can be over stimulating, so mid-day is rest time.  We lock
our doors between 12:30p.m.and 2:00 p.m.for uninterrupted nap time.  Full
day dogs are tired from all the morning play, so they normally lay down to
rest.  We dim the lights and turn on relaxing music.  This time allows the
dogs to rest and get ready for a rambunctious afternoon playing with their
furry friends from the morning.

After playing all day, Mom or Dad picks up fido and everyone is happy for a
nice, relaxing evening at home.

For the safety of all our playmates, each dog is required to pass a personality
evaluation and be current on all shots recommended by their vet, including DHLPP
and Bordatella.  Rabies vaccines are required for puppies over 4 months of age.

Playhouse Pooch of the Month
July, 2009








Chase is a Cardigan Corgi who comes to play
once a week with his fur friends.

He loves to run around and have the other
dogs chase him...his name fits him well!  
Even though Chase is a short dog, he
's a big
dog in his mind, and we often joke that he
would be a "big boy" if his legs just grew a
little!!

Chase has many friends including Lady (his
girlfriend), and Marley, but especially loves
attention from our staff.  When he gets a
good report card from "school", he gets a
special dinner from his Mom for being such a
good boy!  He has learned to expect a treat
after daycare, and really works the puppy
dog eyes to make sure we don't forget to
give him one!

Thanks for playing with us, Chase - you are
a good boy!
What is your dog doing today?
They should be happy, tired and making
new fur friends!
