Bow wow! We love new friends!

Once you have completed the enrollment form, call or email to schedule the evaluation day of daycare. This consists of a full day of daycare, at the normal fees for daycare, where we observe your dog and determine if Mountain Dogs will be a good fit. You will receive a report card at the end of the day letting you know if your dog is eligible to continue coming to Mountain Dogs for daycare and overnight boarding. Upon successful completion of the evaluation, you may drop in for daycare anytime during regular hours or begin making boarding reservations. Your dog will continue receiving report cards during daycare. We will notify you of any troubling behaviors as part of an ongoing evaluation for all dogs in our care.

Most dogs pass our evaluation day of daycare, however some do not. We have a genuine love for dogs; however not all dogs are happy in or appropriate for dog daycare. While Mountain Dogs can help build social skills, dogs must have enough social skills to play all day with all their canine and human friends.

Some dogs, for example, can only play for short periods of time and may become agitated during extended play times. Dogs may also be choosey about their canine and human friends and may not accept all the other dogs or humans at daycare. Other dogs are overly anxious, protective of their personal space, or just prefer the quiet comfort of their own home.

Whatever the reason, we will let you know if Mountain Dogs is not an appropriate environment for your dog. This ensures that behavior incidents are kept to a minimum.
