The Doggie Playhouse,
LLC!!

Do you ever feel just a little guilty about your dog being left home alone
so often?
Let's face it, we are probably
all a bit busier than we'd like to be. Between work, endless errands, kids, cleaning, you name it, you hardly have a spare
moment for yourself. By the time you get everything done, you're completely worn out. You simply don't have the time, or the
energy to give your dog the exercise and attention he/she needs.
That's
where doggie daycare comes in:
Why The Doggie Playhouse?
The Doggie
Playhouse is not your average Dog
Daycare! Have you ever wondered why some daycares do
not let you see where YOUR
Dog is staying during the
day? That is unacceptable- our dogs are our furry
children and just like you would inspect
your child's
daycare you should do the same thing for your dog!
Here at The Doggie Playhouse we take doggie daycare
and
boarding to another level & give it that extra
something.
Our facility offers the following amenities:
Nearly 4,000 square feet of indoor play space
Complete
climate control for the comfort of the doggies
Two different play rooms - Dogs are separated by size and temperament
Our
staff members are experienced dog daycare/boarding handlers
Soothing music
Comfortable bedding
X-Large crates for each dog for our mid-day rest time
Fresh drinking water
Yummy treats

Our Play Rooms:
Small Dog Room
This
room is dedicated to the smaller dogs. In this room, the dogs are not in a position to be intimidated by the larger dogs.
They are the “big dogs” in this room. This room accommodates between 8-15 dogs.
Large Dog Room
This room
is dedicated to the larger dog breeds. The Large Dog Room is the largest play area at The Doggie Playhouse (over 3000sf).
There is ample room for the dogs to romp freely, or even relax on one of our Kuranda beds. We can accommodate up to 25
dogs in this room.
All
doggies will have lots of toys, treats, comfy beds and fresh water all day long. All doggies will learn to socialize
and play with other dogs the same size and temperament.
A
Typical day at The Doggie Playhouse:
Our facility is committed to caring for your dog when you are unable to do so. Throughout
the day, your dog will play and socialize with a group of other friendly dogs. Dogs are naturally social animals. Most dogs
enjoy the company of other dogs. Our facility is set up for the dogs to interact and play with each other. There are two special
rooms for different types of dogs; i.e. small and large. There is always one of our trained dog handlers in each room to monitor
& control the group.
Daycare Dogs can be dropped off between the
hours of 7:00am - 10:00am. Between 12:00 pm and 2:00 pm, all dogs have nap time. During this time, the dogs
are individually walked and get a break from the playgroup. During the walks, we use basic commands with the dogs. If you
would like your dog to be fed during the day to be consistent with his/her regular schedule, we would be happy to do that
as well. You will need to bring in his/her own food (in a ziploc baggie) or we offer nutritional food for a small fee.
Medications can also be adminstered if needed. The dogs have access to fresh water all day long.
During your dog’s stay at our facility, he/she will learn some basic commands,
if he/she does not already know them. Our dog handlers use basic commands with all the dogs throughout the day. (Commands
such as stay, sit, off, etc.) In addition
to the use of basic commands, our dog handlers use positive reinforcement techniques to keep the dogs safe throughout the
day.
After a full day of play at our facility,
you will pick up an entertained and well exercised dog ready for a relaxing evening at home.

to play and socialize with other friendly dogs in a supervised environment.

Whether it's just a few hours a week or everyday,
doggie daycare provides
an exciting social environment for your dog to romp, learn and play. It also gives your dog that special something to look
forward to all week long - a special day, just for him! That's why
doggie daycare is one of the hottest trends in America
these days! And, after a long day at work, wouldn't it be nice if your dog were just as tired as you are?
With
daycare, dog owners notice an improvement in social skills, obedience, overall physical condition and attitude with just one
or two days of daycare a week. And, the physical activity your dog gets here at The
Doggie Playhouse keeps them
happy and satisfied even when they're at home! That means no more furniture chewing or bouncing off the walls at home.
