Standard Daycare

Standard Daycare

All pups in our Standard Daycare program must pass a temperament evaluation. This is typically their first day (Trial Day). We introduce them slowly to other dogs on leash while carefully watching their body language to ensure they are comfortable, social, and non-aggressive. Aggressive/ dominant dogs are not permitted in our Standard Daycare program. All pets must be spayed and neutered. Must be over 8 months. If pets are unaltered, too young, or non-social with other dogs, we have Puppy Daycare and Enrichment Daycare that may be a better fit. See below for pricing.

Dog training The Colony

Our Standard Daycare Program

  • Social Play: Matched by size, temperament, and play style. 10-15 dogs in play group for lots of safe, social fun.

  • Simple Manners/Basic obedience training: Our trained kennel techs work with dogs in a group setting, working on simple obedience and manners such as sit, come, wait, stay, leave it and off (for jumping dogs). We also work on behaviors such as barking, making, door gate rushing and more. We use a treat and positive enforcement system to reward good behavior.

  • Games/ Activities: While dogs are in daycare, we do many activities and games that stimulate the dog’s interaction skills, such as fetch, tug-O-war, playing on our jungle gyms, following the leader, story time, and even playing with bubbles!

  • Lunch & Nap Time: Our doggies are provided refreshing water, a stuffed Kong, and/or a home brought lunch from 11:15 to 12:30pm. Then it's lights out as the pups get a much needed mental break with a nap time between 12:30 and 1:30pm.

  • Swimming Pool: Let your dog enjoy swimming 4x a day, must pass swim test or swim with a life jacket* (extra charge applies)
