Here at Dak Dogs, our top priority is safety! We want to ensure that your pup can have a balance of rest and play so they leave here feeling fulfilled. We have taken the last year to create a schedule that flows best for the dogs and their pet owners. Each dog in our care receives a tailored experience to their play style, size, social preferences, and energy levels. All dogs get to enjoy small group play with their best friends, mixed with some reflection time to wind down and relax in between play sessions. With that being said, our daycare routine is as follows:

 

Daycare drop off is from 7am to 9am. During the drop off window, dogs will be brought outside for a potty break upon arrival and then placed in one of our 5ft X 5ft kennels until group play starts at 9am. We would like to ensure all daycare pups get our undivided attention when they arrive. 

​

Once all the daycare pups are here, we will evaluate which pups are properly matched for each other's play styles and mix them in separate play groups accordingly. This is to ensure all the dogs get to play with the dogs they like best! The play groups will be rotated in and out of the holding kennels during the morning session from 9am to 12pm. All pups will be given a balance of rest and play so they do not get overstimulated or overtired. This reduces chances of conflict and injury during their stay. 

​

From 12pm to 1pm, all pups will be placed in the holding kennels for nap and snack time. Morning session dogs can be picked up and afternoon session dogs can be dropped off during this time. 

​

Afternoon session starts at 1pm and runs until 5pm. We will use the same routine as the morning session with all the pups. All pups will be rotated in and out of group play with their properly matched playmates for the day. Our pickup window for the afternoon session is from 3pm to 5pm.
