Our schedules are not rigid - it sometimes depends on the mix of dogs, but it generally follows this template:
6:30 am - Rise and shine! Everybody up and out into the Common Area yards for early morning potty and play
7:15 - Yum yum! Breakfast is served. Meds distribution.
7:30-9:30 - Boarders are settled in their kennels to digest while daycare/new boarder dogs arrive. Some boarding dogs are picked up now as well. Some boarders enjoy stuffed kongs or chews during this time.
9:30- 11:45 - Yard time for everyone. Boarders and daycare alike are rotated in small groups or buddied up into the Common Areas for some serious play and outdoor time. We have 4 large (2 acres in total) 6’ chain link fenced play yards with climbing boulders, natural footing, trees, grass, etc. There is frequently some dirt involved! Those not in yard rotation are in indoor/outdoor runs with a buddy or doing Custom Care Trail Walks, Field Runs, Pond Paddles or One on One activities.
12:00 - 12:30 pm - Lunch/snacks/meds distribution and midday daycare pickup.
12:30 - 4:00 - Yard rotations resume, Custom Care Trail Walks, Field Runs, Pond Paddles and One on One activities, and any extras happen. On Thursday and Friday our groomer bathes, brushes and trims those that have scheduled grooms.
4:00 - Yum yum! Dinner time for boarders. Meds distribution. Boarders and daycare dogs are prepared for pickup.
4:30-6:00 - Boarders are settled in their kennels to digest/rest while pickup/drop off goes on. Some boarders enjoy stuffed kongs or chews during this time.
6:00- 8:00 - Evening outdoor potty and play time in the Common Areas for boarders only
8:00 - 8:30 - BedTime. Dogs are settled in their runs (some with buddies, if they prefer company), NPR on, cameras on and lights out.
