• In order for us to be able to safely get your dog to the daycare and boarding area, Your dog must be wearing a regular flat or martingale collar, and a standard 4-6 foot non-retractable leash. If you do not have these items they are avalible for purchase.

Before boarding, a dog must have passed the socialization test and attended daycare three times.  (NO EXCEPTIONS: This is for your dog's safety as well as that of our other guests and pack leaders.)

Our top priority is to ensure the safety and welfare of your dog. Therefore, no dogs that have ever shown any aggression issues, either to dog or human will be allowed to participate. If for any reason any dog acts out of character and shows aggressive behavior towards another resulting in injury or fighting he or she would be separated from the group and placed in timeout following a "incident'' report that would then be filed and given to you upon departure explaning the siticuation.
