Dog Daycare Enrichment

Our daycare sessions offer a unique combination of playtime with other dogs, individualized attention from our staff, and fun activities that are hand selected just for your pet. Rather than just putting your dog in a large group all day long, we will find out what he really loves and rotate his time with us among several activities tailored specifically for your dog. Our carefully selected playgroups are focused on fun and the well-being of your dog. We are committed to understanding group dog behavior, educating all our staff on safe, and humane management techniques that use positive reinforcement. But most importantly, we are committed to providing a day of fun and individualized care to your dog when he stays with us. Your pet will be treated like one of the family!

Why Enrichment?

We have learned that one size does no fit all when it comes to dog daycare. Dogs can get overly tired and overly stimulated by playing all day without structured activities and adequate relaxing periods. Dogs also become bored with the same routine. Our format ensures your dog gets the perfect combination of quality play and rest. Your dog will still get playtime with others, but we will add special small group activities and more one-on-one attention with the staff so that everyday is a unique and fun day tailored specifically for your pet with his energy level, size, and temperment in mind.

Wide Range of Activities

We have an extensive variety of tools and equipment to use for fun daily activities. Heres an example of some of them:

Agility
- Tunnel, weave poles, jumps, hoops, pause disks, a-frame and more!
Treiball
- Pushing balls with nose game

Exercise the Brain

When it's time to take a nap, your dog will be provided with a quiet place to rest. Normally this will be in a comfortable crate, or safe area with bedding, water, and a puzzle to play. There will be an assortment of puzzles in our collection. This will allow us to tailor puzzle time to your dog's preference.

Build Confidence

Humans and dogs encounter similar behaviors, when it comes to confidence or the lack thereof. Genes, environment, and experiences all play an important roll in their confidence level. Past experiences cannot be changed, however there is plenty that can be done to build confidence.

Look! Squirrel! Inn gives dogs the opportunity to improve their confidence level through:

Positive exposure to new or old things
A healthy and safe environment
Trust exercises during agility training
Socialization skills
Sensory skills

These are all important in teaching dogs how to cope with certain experiences and environments, therefore empowering them for the future.

Make New Friends

We evaluate every dog to see if they are perfect fit for our facility. During this process, we also match them with dogs based on temperment and other factors This helps us create a cohesive pack ensuring a fun and safe environment where friends will bloom!
