Enrollment Process
We accept healthy dogs of all ages - Even Puppies as young as 8 weeks!! If your dog is over 6 months of age, they must be spayed or neutered. All dogs must be current on DHLPP, Rabies and Bordatella vaccinations. We will also accept titers. We require at least a one-day-per-week commitment to keep your dogs social skill's up, and so he can see his doggie friends on a regular basis! Dogs do best at daycare when they come on regular days during the week. Just like children they make friends at daycare, and when they hang out with their regular group of friends each week (ex

We don't do a quick 5 minute behavior assessment, we consider your dogs entire first day their "gradual enrollment day". This is when we determine if your dog is a good canidate for doggie daycare, and if he has fun being there! Because we are very cautious and only allow extremely friendly and appropriate dogs, our program may not be right for every dog; The Dog Den reserves the right to make this determination. Owners must sign a rules and regulations form, client agreement, and be prepared for a very tired dog when they come back to pick him up!

We encourage appropriate play, ask the dogs to wait at the door, sit for petting, etc. We also separate dogs into appropriate playgroups. First by size (small dogs vs. large dogs) and then also by play type (gentle vs. physical).

Here is a checklist for your dogs' first day of daycare:
1. Please drop off your dog no later than 7:00am for his first scheduled day.
3. Bring copies of your dog's vaccination records for our files - including bordatella and a clear fecal within the past 6 months.
4. Allow yourself an extra 30 minutes during this first drop off day for paperwork and any questions..
5. We don't do a quick 5 or 10 minute temperament test. We consider your dog's whole first day his "gradual enrollment" day. We will observe his behavior with the pack and make sure that he is not only a good fit for daycare, but that he enjoys himself! We observe him not only when he first gets there, but throughout the day, with different dogs, and at the end of the day when he might be tired... If we notice any problems we will contact you immediately.
6. Feel free to bring a lunch or snack for your dog. Please bring in a plastic, airtight container (Tupperware type container) with his name written on it. They burn a lot of energy and are sometimes hungry by naptime!

Thank you again for considering our daycare - we can't wait to meet your dog!
