Daycare Program Info

Dogs are individual beings, just like humans. A lot of dogs love daycare, but not everyone will enjoy being in a group all day. Some dogs prefer the company of humans rather than other dogs and some prefer socializing in small groups(2-3 other dogs).Dogs are individual beings, just like humans.

If your dog is not successful in his/her assessment, it is not a sign that you have done anything wrong as an owner! There are many training options available if you wish to work on your dog’s behaviour, skills, or confidence. With time and patience, every dog can be successful at Ruffin’ It!

If your dog eats during the day, please pack their meal in a labeled container that he/she can eat from (please have the portion measured in advance). Also include any medications your dog requires.

What about potty breaks and feeding times? Rest assured that your dog’s individual needs will be taken care of by our attentive staff! Feedings will take place individually, either in our crates or rest rooms. Dogs will have the opportunity to go outside for potty breaks several times throughout the day.

Some owners may be concerned that your dog will spend time alone during the day. Dog care professionals recognize the need for down time during a dog’s day to avoid overstimulation. Like humans, most dogs need a break from being in a large group throughout the day. Dogs also need more sleep than humans. Rest time gives them a quiet place to rest up and be ready to play and learn again! Individual needs of each dog will be considered. If your dog does not enjoy a crate we also have other options.
