Find Answers to Our Most Frequently Asked Questions.
Please keep in mind that while many dogs enjoy playing and tumbling around with other dogs, there are some that do not. Some dogs don't like to share toys or treats and/or are nervous around new people. Some dogs can find open-play daycare to be too stressful and would prefer to be in the comforts of their own home/environment. How a dog reacts at daycare depends on their socialization experiences. We have several play areas for all types of energy levels to create a fun day for most dogs!
Over the last several years dog daycare has grown very popular. Every daycare facility is designed and run differently. At Happy Dogs, we treat all of our dogs like a member of the family. We do not believe you should have to pay extra money for your dog to get love, attention and play like some other boarding facilities. Also, we offer internet cameras so you can check in on your pup any time during business hours!
Our staff to dog ratio varies based on the size, activity level and personality of the dogs. We generally try to maintain a ratio of one staff member to fifteen dogs.
Our staff come from a varying backgrounds, but we all have the love dogs in common! All of our staff goes through orientation covering topics such as how dogs learn, body language, group dynamics, appropriate play and signs of stress.
We have four different play rooms for the dogs to play. The small dogs have their own room to run around in with out the worry of being stepped on by a big guy. The small dogs have their own outdoor area. The small guys are taken outside during many intervals throughout the day. There are two medium/big, in-door/out-door dog play areas in which the dogs are separated by activity level. These dogs have consistent in-door and out-door access. The outdoor areas are complete with dog-safe synthetic grass. The last room is used to accommodate our senior and/or mellow dogs who like a slower pace.
