Why Regular Attendance?

All our dogs receive a lot of 1 on 1 focus during their first few visits, we learn about them and they learn about us, and our daycare rules. We focus on their recall and interrupt any unwanted behaviours, distracting and comforting them if they’re a little anxious meeting their new friends. 

We train them to follow basic commands and reward all their hard work. All this helps to create a safe and relaxed but really fun and enriching environment where dogs can play with confidence and without fear, helping them develop into well mannered and well rounded dogs.

​

We’re happy to take care of non regular dogs, but we offer incentives to come regularly because dog’s who don’t come regularly:

• Need 1 on 1 attention like it’s their first day all over again. We need to retrain them in the basic daycare rules because it only takes a couple of weeks for them to forget. This means:

  • They don’t know or remember the daily routine and therefore:

    • Won’t sleep at nap time and will disrupt the other dogs

    • They don’t self regulate their own sleep or rest

    • They don’t recognise the scent and therefore can constantly mark throughout the centre, on toys, or even other dogs

• All our dogs are excited to come to daycare, but non regular dogs usually even more so. That extra excitement can get expressed through:

  • Humping

  • Barking

  • Overzealous or non consensual play

  • And being unable to focus and follow basic commands

    • Importantly recall, and stay

• Or, if they’re one of the more shy dogs then they are:

  • Not as well socialised in a daycare setting

  • Nervous and need introducing slowly or keeping separate

  • Stressed at their unknown environment leading to:

    • Barking

    • Crying

    • Or, an anxious dog that can react negatively to others around them

All of which require a lot more focus to ensure a safe and happy environment. Dogs also like a form of routine and familiarity, and not getting that can upset your dog.

​

In cases where dogs have severe separation anxiety or persistently display the above unwanted behaviours we may require attendance to be an a minimum of 1 per week basis. You will be made aware following your dogs assessment if this is the case.
