Your Dog Is Unique. So Are Our Daycare Programs.
The design of our dog daycare programs are the result of an entire year of collecting data, attending conferences on the latest dog behavior studies, help from our friends at the Dog Gurus, and a whole lot of creative thinking. Dogs are very social by nature. However, only about 40% of dogs are suited for or enjoy a group play setting. So, we take a personalized approach, creating a program that will work for your furry family member’s needs and temperament. We can accommodate:

These dogs do not enjoy the company of other dogs. They may even try to start some trouble if they come in too close of contact with other dogs. They fulfill their pack needs with humans. And they usually LOVE humans.

These dogs don’t mind other dogs but, would prefer not to be in a crowd with them. A lot of these dogs end up in group settings simply because they tolerate the group. They usually hang out by themselves or choose a corner of the play space to make camp in. They’re not there to make trouble but they’re not really having a great time.

Throw the ball! Throw the ball! No one else in this group matters but that ball is life! These dogs may even be protective of their ball or toy and not appreciate others getting involved in their game. A high drive dog may also turn their group play setting into a game or a challenge. These guys can cause trouble without meaning too.

These dogs are very social within their own species. They love every dog they meet and share their space and toys well. Their preferred energy outlet is romping around with their friends. They listen to other dog’s social cues and have strong cues of their own.

As a training facility, we see many dogs that are under socialized with people and other dogs. These dogs are working on themselves by learning how to control impulse, emotions, or even learn doggie social cues.

These dogs prefer to lounge in the comfort of their room and watch the activities of the day happen. Getting out to potty and stretch their legs is all the activity they’re looking for.

A Structured Dog Daycare Experience That Exceeds Industry Standards
At Paws & Play, we've proudly exceeded industry standards set by The Dog Gurus for over a decade, emphasizing a balanced approach of physical exercise, mental stimulation, and essential rest periods. Rather than constant open play, which risks overstimulation, we offer structured group sessions with dedicated rest breaks in private, comfortable rooms, allowing dogs to reach deeper, restorative sleep crucial for brain health. Our daycare prioritizes safety, cleanliness, and overall well-being, ensuring your dog enjoys a fun, enriching experience tailored to their individual needs.
Our daycare schedule includes:
- 8 AM – 10 AM: Morning enrichment session or a relaxing walk.
- 11 AM – 1 PM: Structured group play or personalized one-on-one interaction, grouped by size, age, and temperament.
- 2PM - 4PM: Second enrichment activity, training exercises, or an additional leisurely walk.
