It is hard to believe that we are at the half way point in the month of August and September is just around the corner. With all of our days off and family vacations sadly coming to an end. As for manyof us it is "back to school time". This is not only for us humans but our canines as well.
September is the start of a very, very busy time here at Doggie Day Care. As families get back into a more consistent routine and your pet tries to figure out why the change has happened. It can be a confusing time for them. Like us our dogs thrive on routine. They enjoy making friends at day care and like us have a certain "best friend" that they enjoy being with more than others. So choosing your dogs days at day care and sticking to that routine is very important to them. They make bonds with friends to help pass the time while their loved ones are at work and/or school until you can be together gain in the evening.
It is also very important to the staff who need to know who will be coming on any given day so that we can plan appropriately. As you know (but maybe have forgotten) there is a limit to the number of dogs we will take on any given day. If you reserve a spot and are unable to keep that please, please call ahead or leave a message anytime so we may give that spot to someone else.
As well if you do not reserve your days there the possibility that you could show up with your dog and be turned away as much as would hate to do that. Safety is Always the Number One Priority here and not the fact that we love having your pet here with us.
Always remember that drop-off is from 7:00 to 9:00 and some of your dogs friends have been waiting since 7:00 to go out and start play so please be courteous to others. Dogs are pack animals and are let out as pack for their free play time. It is a safety issue to just allow a late dog go into a room where the "pack" is already at play. So the staff must recrate everyone and restart the day over taking the pack out as a group again.
We all hope that everyone has a great summer and always thank you for your co-operation.
