Shaggy Pines LOVES dogs! We want them to be happy, well adjusted and live their best lives! When we decided to add a day care option for our members we knew we had to get it right. Studies have shown that long day care hours with many dogs are not always the best option for all dogs. Large play groups, with a large dog to staff ratio, can be harmful to a dogs emotional and physical well-being. Our 20 years of experience has taught us that three hours of play is the sweet spot and a six to one dog to staff ratio is ideal.
Our DayPlay specialist will work on basic skills and reinforce good manners during your dogs visit. We work on skills like recall, heeling, getting into bath tubs, platform desensitization as well as settling and calming behaviors.
Shaggy pines members can take advantage of this three hour in-park experience for up to 6 lucky dogs! The dog to staff ratio will be no more than 6:1. A typical day will include two enrichment activities, free playtime in the park, on the hour 15 minute rest breaks and treats, individualized care that members have grown to love. The service will cost $30 per dog.
Members can drop off their dogs at the Shaggy Pines clubhouse where a DayPlay Team member will be there to greet them. We are offering curbside drop-off and pick-up service. Drop off is between 9:00-9:30am and pick-up between 12:00-12:30. This service is offered Monday, Tuesday and Thursday.
