Enrichment & Training Based Daycare

Being in our program will naturally improve your dogs social skills, increase their confidence, and improve their quality of life through regular exercise and mental stimulation instead of boredom. Dogs are inherit pack animals therefore they are treated as such while in our care at Happy Hound Daycare. We do not separate, instead we allow dogs to enhance their natural instincts within our structured & supervised environment to ensure the safety of each dog.

Your Dogs Health Is Important To Us

We are committed to providing the highest standard of care for your furry family member. To that end, our facility undergoes nightly vacuuming and mopping with a pet-safe cleaner that effectively eliminates contagious viruses. Every surface and object that your pet may encounter is thoroughly sanitized on a weekly and daily basis, including the outdoor fence.

In February 2023, we enhanced our air quality by installing UVC/Ozone systems in our ductwork, ensuring that both dogs and humans breathe clean air at all times. Our expansive outdoor space exceeds 4,000 square feet and is equipped with heating for winter and air conditioning for summer, providing a comfortable environment. Additionally, dogs have access to a large outdoor area for play, with a dog door allowing them the freedom to come and go as they please, as all dogs are trained to use it.

What you should expect when leaving your dog at Happy Hound Daycare?

Upon your dog's arrival at Happy Hound Daycare, they will be warmly greeted by our friendly staff at the front desk and promptly taken outside to begin their day.

You will need to remove your dog's collar, leash, and flea collar, placing them on a designated dog tail hook or in a cubby. Your dog will then be led outside, where they will have ample time to relieve themselves before joining their friends in either the Lovers Lane Room or the Park Room for free play until the end of check-in at 8:30 a.m.

At 8:30 a.m., we will bring the entire pack together. After all introductions are completed, the dogs will engage in a structured schedule of Group Enrichment, Training, and Free Play. Please note that we do not permit late drop-offs to join the groups, as this policy is in place to ensure the safety and well-being of all dogs and staff members. Allowing a single dog to enter an established group can create unnecessary stress and chaos.
