We love seeing dogs playing and enjoying themselves. We take our guests’ comfort very seriously, which is why we require every dog to go through a Temperament Assessment with one of our Behavior Specialists prior to staying with us. This ensures that every dog will be happy and is a good fit for our group play environment. You can take comfort in knowing that your dog is surrounded by safe, playful, happy friends!
Dogs are only in their designated sleeping area for bedtime and mealtime. The rest of the time they are out socializing in our customized play groups that we tailor to each individual dog. Your dog will be in a group that matched his/her energy level, size and playstyle in order to ensure your dog is getting the maximum benefits from proper socialization.
What should I pack for my dog’s overnight stay?
We accept food, treats, chews such as antlers/hooves/ears/bully sticks/bones, blankets, t-shirts, towels. We do not accept toys, scoops or bowls. We ask that food be sent in measured pre-portioned bags per meal.
