Day Care
at We've Gone To The Dogs
Let's face it. A lot of us hate leaving our dogs alone during the day. And since we usually can't take them to work, movies, restaurants, or shopping, they stay home for hours on end. They're bored. Frustrated. Anxious. Lonely. What's a concerned pet owner to do?
We’ve Gone to the Dogs dog daycare is the answer. Don’t feel guilty leaving your dog home alone all day again. Let them have fun, too. We provide constant supervision and play. We love dogs and can’t think of a better way to spend the day than hanging out with a pack of furry friends. Drop off your pal, go to work or about your activities, and at the end of the day pick up a happy, tired, tail-waggin’ dog and head home for a pleasant evening together.
Daycare is for those active dogs that never seem to run out of energy. Or maybe you worked all day and can’t face that much needed walk. Older dogs sometimes can’t quite make the nine or ten hours at home alone. And puppies… Puppies will learn excellent social skills, and we can run that battery down!
At We’ve Gone to the Dogs we cater to a variety of dogs… from couch potatoes to the shy wallflower to the social butterfly and the ball chasing jock/jockette. For those with separation anxiety, we take extra loving care to help these guests find their spot in the playgroup.

Schedule for a Typical Day Care Day
7:00-8:00 am
Arrivals
Dogs are greeted and their belongings are put in their cubbies. They will enjoy indoor play until everyone has arrived.
8:00-12 noon
Structured Playtime
Playtime will include walks, game playing and obedience made fun. We will provide one staff member for every five to eight dogs. Big dogs and little dogs will play separately to avoid accidental injury to our smaller friends.
12:00-2 pm
Nap Time
At this time all the dogs retire to their own crates in the indoor play room. After four hours of active play they need to rest, unwind and relax. Lights will be turned off and music will provide a calming atmosphere for everyone.
2:00-5:00 pm
Afternoon Free Play
Play is very similar to the morning activities but tends to be less structured. Those signed up for training or grooming will be worked with during this time.
5:00-7:00 pm
Winding Down
Activity is slowed and everyone winds down while they wait for their people to pick them up.
Every day at We've Gone To The Dogs your dog will enjoy hours of playing and learning with our professional and nurturing staff.
